ABSTRACT:
.alpha.-tocopherolphosphocholine and salts thereof have been discovered to possess anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and PAF-antagonist activities. The compound and salts have also been discovered to be capable of forming liposomes. The present invention thus provides methods of treating viral and fungal infections, inflammatory disorders and pathophysiological conditions due to PAF activity in a mammal by administering to the mammal .alpha.-tocopherolphosphocholine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising .alpha.-tocopherolphosphocholine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Further, the invention provides liposomes which comprise .alpha.-tocopherolphosphocholine or a salt thereof as a structural component of the liposome bilayer.
