   Abstract: The monosaccharide substances inositol hexasulfate (IHS) and
   inositol hexaphosphoric acid (Phytic acid, IHP) were investigated for
   their antiviral effect on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in
   vitro. In MT-4 cells IHS completely inhibited the cytopathic effect of
   HIV and the HIV specific antigen expression at a concentration of 1.67
   mg/ml. IHP moderately inhibited both of HIV effects as mentioned
   above.
