Product Data
Biological target:
Rimantadine inhibits recombinant influenza A matrix protein 2 (M2) expressed in X. laevis oocytes (IC50 = 10.8 µM) and recombinant hepatitis C virus (HCV) p7 protein expressed in HEK293 cells (IC50s = 0.7, 24, 1.6, and 3.0 nM for HCV genotypes 1a, 2a, 3a, and 4a, respectively). Rimantadine inhibits cytotoxicity induced by the influenza A strains A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) and A/HK/7/87 (H3N2), but not the influenza B strain B/HK/72, in MDCK cells (EC50s = 18, 0.62, and >500 µM, respectively). It also has trypanocidal activity against bloodstream forms of T. brucei in vitro (IC50 = 1.26 µg/ml).
In vitro activity:
Of the compounds tested, (rimantadine, memantine, and amantadine), rimantadine showed the most promise for treatment of SARS-CoV-2. In VeroE6 cells, rimantadine was a potent ion-channel inhibitor. Similar results were observed in human hepatoma Huh7.5 and lung carcinoma A549-hACE2 cells. Reference: Viruses. 2021 Oct 15;13(10):2082. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34696509/
In vivo activity:
In children, rimantadine was effective in the abatement of influenza A related fever on day three of treatment. AMT showed a prophylactic effect against influenza A infection. There is a proven benefit of rimantadine, but further research is needed. Reference: Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2008 Jan 23;(1):CD002745. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18254006/
