| 32313883 | During the 1971 outbreak of influenza, diabetic patients treated with the biguanides, phenformin and buformin, had a lower incidence of infection than diabetics treated with sulfonylureas or insulin. […] Both buformin and phenformin reduce the mortality of influenza in mice; phenformin is less effective than buformin.
