Hodoodo CAT#: H329829

CAS#: 665-66-7 (HCl)

Description: Amantadine is a drug that has U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for use both as an antiviral and an anti-parkinsonian drug. Amantadine is a weak antagonist of the NMDA-type glutamate receptor, increases dopamine release, and blocks dopamine reuptake. Amantadine probably does not inhibit MAO enzyme. Moreover, the mechanism of its antiparkinsonian effect is poorly understood.[citation needed] The drug has many effects in the brain, including release of dopamine and norepinephrine from nerve endings. It appears to be a weak NMDA receptor antagonist as well as an anticholinergic, specifically a nicotinic alpha-7 antagonist like the similar pharmaceutical memantine.

More Info: Medical uses 1. Parkinson's disease: Amantadine is used to treat Parkinsons disease, as well as parkinsonism syndromes.A 2003 Cochrane review concluded evidence was inadequate to support the use of amantadine for Parkinson's disease. An extended relief formulation is used to treat dyskinesia, a side effect of levodopa which is taken by people who have Parkinsons. 2. Influenza: Amantadine is no longer recommended for treatment of influenza A infection. For the 2008/2009 flu season, the CDC found that 100% of seasonal H3N2 and 2009 pandemic flu samples tested have shown resistance to adamantanes. The CDC issued an alert to doctors to prescribe the neuraminidase inhibitors oseltamivir and zanamivir instead of amantadine and rimantadine for treatment of flu.[6][7] A 2014 Cochrane review did not find benefit for the prevention or treatment of influenza A. 3. Fatigue in multiple sclerosis: Amantadine also seems to have moderate effects on multiple sclerosis (MS) related fatigue..

Biological target: Amantadine (1-Adamantanamine) hydrochloride is an antiviral agent with activity against influenza A viruses.
In vitro activity: Amantadine 10–500 µM caused a concentration-dependent reduction (IC50 = 83 µM) of viral nucleic acids in the supernatant 26 h after infection (Figure 2A). In addition, in these cells intracellular viral nucleic acids were determined. Amantadine 10–500 µM caused a concentration-dependent reduction (IC50 = 119 µM) of viral nucleic acids in the cytosol 26 h after infection (Figure 2C). Reference: Viruses. 2021 Apr; 13(4): 539. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8063946/
In vivo activity: The results obtained for the antinociceptive effect induced by the acute administration of amantadine are shown in Figure 2. Panel (a) shows that values of the control groups (Naïve and Sham) are above 14 g, which indicates that these animals did not develop hypersensitivity threshold. However, the acute administration of increasing doses of amantadine (6.25–50 mg/Kg, i.p.), but not the vehicle (0.9% NaCl, i.p.), increased (p < 0.05) in a dose-dependent manner the paw withdrawal threshold in rats with SCI (T12, 6.25 mm). Panel (b) shows that amantadine at 50 mg/Kg, i.p. dose produced 96.75% of maximum antinociceptive effect (% MPAE). In addition, an effective dose 50 (ED50) of 119.65 mmol (CI =13.59 to 37.13) was obtained. The %MPAE achieved by the intraperitoneal administration of amantadine (50 mg/Kg, i.p.) was observed from 1 hr and remained constant until 8 hr after administration, which indicates that amantadine has an antinociceptive effect until reaching similar values close to those of uninjured rats (Sham and Naïve).
