Pathway Description
Rimantadine Action Pathway
Homo sapiens
Drug Action Pathway
Rimantadine is an RNA synthesis inhibitor used to prevent influenza A infection.The mechanism of action of rimantadine is not fully understood. Rimantadine appears to exert its inhibitory effect early in the viral replicative cycle, possibly inhibiting the uncoating of the virus. It may play a role in the inhibition of the matrix protein 2 protein which is required for the uncoating of the protein. The inhibition of matrix protein 2 prevents the virus from replicating and further infecting cells.
