Amantadine (hydrochloride) (Standard)

• CAS Number: 665-66-7
• UNSPSC Description: Amantadine (hydrochloride) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Amantadine (hydrochloride). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Amantadine (1-Adamantanamine) hydrochloride is an orally avtive and potent antiviral agent with activity against influenza A viruses. Amantadine hydrochloride inhibits several ion channels such as NMDA and M2, and also inhibits Coronavirus ion channels. Amantadine hydrochloride also has anti-orthopoxvirus and anticancer activity. Amantadine hydrochloride can be used for Parkinson's disease, postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and COVID-19 research[1][2][3][4][5][6].
