Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB00478 | http://reference.medscape.com/drug/flumadine-rimantadine-342626 | https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/rimantadine.html | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3346834

Rimantadine (INN, sold under the trade name Flumadine) is an orally administered antiviral drug used to treat, and in rare cases prevent, influenzavirus A infection. Rimantadine is an M2 ion channel inhibitor which specifically inhibits the replication of influenza A viruses by interfering with the uncoating process of the virus. M2 inhibitors block the ion channel formed by the M2 protein that spans the viral membrane (Hay 1985, Sugrue 1991). The influenza virus enters its host cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Thereafter, acidification of the endocytotic vesicles is required for the dissociation of the M1 protein from the ribonucleoprotein complexes. Only then are the ribonucleoprotein particles imported into the nucleus via the nuclear pores. The hydrogen ions needed for acidification pass through the M2 channel. The drug is effective against all influenza A subtypes that have previously caused disease in humans (H1N1, H2N2, and H3N2), but not against influenza B virus because the M2 protein is unique to influenza A viruses. Rimantadine is not active against the avian flu subtype H5N1 strains that have recently caused disease in humans.

Influenza A virus infection 9 Sources: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2010/019649s015lbl.pdf	Curative		Approved 8429	FLUMADINE Approved Use Rimantadine hydrochloride tablet is indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of illness caused by various strains of influenza A virus in adults (17 years and older). Rimantadine hydrochloride tablet is indicated for prophylaxis against influenza A virus in children (1 year to 16 years of age). PROPHYLAXIS In controlled studies of children (1 year to 16 years of age), healthy adults (17 years and older), and elderly patients (65 years of age and older), rimantadine hydrochloride has been shown to be safe and effective in preventing signs and symptoms of infection caused by various strains of influenza A virus. Since rimantadine hydrochloride does not completely prevent the host immune response to influenza A infection, individuals who take this drug may still develop immune responses to natural disease or vaccination and may be protected when later exposed to antigenically-related viruses. Following vaccination during an influenza outbreak, rimantadine hydrochloride prophylaxis should be considered for the 2 to 4 week time period required to develop an antibody response. However, the safety and effectiveness of rimantadine hydrochloride prophylaxis have not been demonstrated for longer than 6 weeks. TREATMENT Rimantadine hydrochloride therapy should be considered for adults (17 years and older) who develop an influenza-like illness during known or suspected influenza A infection in the community. When administered within 48 hours after onset of signs and symptoms of infection caused by influenza A virus strains, rimantadine hydrochloride has been shown to reduce the duration of fever and systemic symptoms. The following points should be considered before initiating treatment or prophylaxis with rimantadine hydrochloride: Rimantadine hydrochloride is not a substitute for early vaccination on an annual basis as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Influenza viruses change over time. Emergence of resistance mutations could decrease drug effectiveness. Other factors (for example, changes in viral virulence) might also diminish clinical benefit of antiviral drugs. Prescribers should consider available information on influenza drug susceptibility patterns and treatment effects when deciding whether to use rimantadine hydrochloride. Launch Date 1993

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

The rimantadine_resistant variant of influenza virus A/Aichi/68 was obtained as follows. Initially the ED50 value was 0.612 μg/mL, which ensured the inhibition of viral hemagglutinin formation and more than 50% prevention of the development of the virus induced cytopathic effect (CPE). This virus was passaged three times in MDCK cells in the presence of increasing concentrations of rimantadine hydrochloride. Its final concentration was 50 μg/mL. Reproduction of influenza virus in cells MDCK (infectious titer) is not inhibited by the drug at a concentration of 25–50 μg/mL. This virus was denoted by us as A/Aichi/68/Rr.Initially, influenza viruses A/H5N1 and A/H1N1pdm09 were also resistant to rimantadine. Their infectious titer was not inhibited by rimantadine at a concentration of 25 μg/mL.
