Amantadine（Cat No.:I001948）is an antiviral and antiparkinsonian drug known for its dual mechanism of action. Initially developed to prevent and treat influenza A, it inhibits the viral M2 protein, disrupting viral replication. Amantadine is also used to manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, as it enhances dopamine release and blocks NMDA receptors, improving motor function and reducing rigidity. Its neuroprotective properties have led to studies exploring its potential in traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases, making Amantadine valuable in both infectious disease and neurological research.
