ZEOLITE FORMULATION AND USE THEREOF FOR THE PREVENTION AND THERAPY OF DISEASES CAUSED BY INFECTIONS WITH HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2

Antiviral medicine (compound) presented here is comprised of an active substance, a carrier of active substance and additives, and it is used for the prophylaxis, therapy and/or pre-respectively post-treatment of diseases caused by the infection with Herpes simplex virus type 1 and/or 2. The active substance is represented by the synthetic zeolites in pure form, with defined crystal structures and chemical compositions. The active substance (zeolite) has a crystal size of 0.1-10 μm and specific surface of 400-1200 m2/g. The sodium ions can be partially or completely exchanged with other cations, e.g. K+, Ag+, NH4+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Fe2+ and Fe3+ in active substance of this antiviral compound. The carrier of active compound is the organic gel, water, oil, cream, liposome and liposome-based systems with regular and/or prolonged activity. The weight ratio between the active substance and the carrier is 5×10−9-10−3, i.e. 5 ng to 1 mg of active substance per one gram of the carrier. The additives used are vitamines: Vitamin C (0-20 wt. %), vitamin E (0-0.01 wt. %), vitamin A (0-1 wt. %) and vitamin D3 (0-1 wt. %). The efficacy of this preparation was demonstrated in in vitro experiments of the inhibition of HSV-1 and HSV-2 plaques formation in keratinocyte monolayers that were preincubated, coincubated or postincubated with the virus at the different time points (by up to 92%).
