Rimantadine, sold under the brand name Flumadine, is an antiviral medication that was used to treat and prevent influenza A. [2] Due to the development of resistance such use is no longer generally recommended.[2] It is taken by mouth.[2]

Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping, and dizziness.[2] Other side effects may include seizures.[2] Safety in pregnancy is unclear.[3] It used to work by interfering with the M2 protein.[2]

Rimantadine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1993.[2] In the United States it costs about 23 USD for a week as of 2021.[4]

Medical use

Influenza A

Rimantadine inhibits influenza activity by binding to amino acids in the M2 transmembrane channel and blocking proton transport across the M2 channel.[5] Rimantadine is believed to inhibit influenza's viral replication, possibly by preventing the uncoating of the virus's protective shells, which are the envelope and capsid. The M2 channel is known to be responsible for viral replication in the influenza virus. Genetic studies suggest that the virus M2 protein, an ion channel specified by virion M2 gene, plays an important role in the susceptibility of influenza A virus to inhibition by rimantadine.

Rimantadine is bound inside the pore to amantadane specific amino acid binding sites with hydrogen binding and van der Waals interactions.[6] The ammonium group (with neighboring water molecules) is positioned towards the C terminus with the amantadane group is positioned towards the N-terminus when bound inside the M2 pore.

Rimantadine S31N Mutation Binding

Influenza resistance

Resistance to rimantadine can occur as a result of amino acid substitutions at certain locations in the transmembrane region of M2. This prevents binding of the antiviral to the channel.[7]

The mutation S31N binding site with rimantadine is shown in the image to the left. It shows rimantadine binding into lumenal (top) or peripheral (bottom) binding sites with influenza M2 channel Serine 31 (gold) or Asparagine 31 (blue).

Rimantadine enantiomers interactions with M2

Rimantadine, when sold as flumadine, is present as a racemic mixture; the R and S states are both present in the drug. Solid state NMR studies have shown that the R enantiomer has a stronger binding affinity to the M2 channel pore than the S-enantiomer of rimantadine.[8] Antiviral assay and electrophysiology studies show that there is no significant difference between the R and S enantiomers in binding affinity to amino acids in the M2 channel.[9] Since the enantiomers have similar binding affinity, they also have similar ability to block the channel pore and work as an effective antiviral. Rimantadine enantiomers R and S are pictured interacting with the M2 pore below to the right. This image shows that there is not a significant modeled difference between the R and S enantiomers.

Parkinson's disease

Rimantadine, like its antiviral cousin amantadine, possesses some NMDA antagonistic properties and is used as an antiparkinsonic drug (i.e., in the treatment of Parkinson's disease). However, in general, neither rimantadine nor amantadine is a preferred agent for this therapy and would be reserved for cases of the disease that are less responsive to front-line treatments.

Other

Rimantadine is shown to be effective against other RNA-containing viruses. It can treat arboviruses like Saint Louis encephalitis and Sindbis. Other viruses that can be treated with Rimantadine include respiratory synctial and parainfluenza viruses.[10] Rimantadine has also been shown to treat chronic hepatitis C.[11]

Dosage

In adults it was taken at a dose of 100 mg twice per day for a week.[2]

Side effects

Rimantadine can produce gastrointestinal and central nervous system adverse effects. Approximately 6% of patients (compared to 4% of patients taking a placebo) reported side-effects at a dosage of 200 mg/d.[12] Common side effects include:

Rimantadine shows fewer CNS symptoms than its sister drug amantadine.[13]

Interactions

  • Taking paracetamol (acetaminophen, Tylenol) or acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) while taking rimantadine is known to reduce the body's uptake of rimantadine by approximately 12%.[14]
  • Cimetidine also affects the body's uptake of rimantadine.
  • Taking anticholigenic drugs with amantadine may increase underlying seizure disorders and aggravate congestive heart failure.[15]

History

Rimantadine was discovered in 1963[16][17] and patented in 1965 in the US by William W. Prichard in Du Pont & Co., Wilmington, Delaware (patent on new chemical compound U.S. Patent 3,352,912, 1965 and on the first method of synthesis U.S. Patent 3,592,934, 1967).[18][19] Prichard's methods of synthesis of rimantadine from the corresponding ketone oxime were based on its reduction with lithium aluminum hydride.

Synthesis

Rimantadine synthesis

The synthesis pictured to the left is a synthesis of rimantadine as synthesized in Europe.

1-carboxyadamatanones are reduced with sodium borohydride to create racemic hydroxy acid. Excess methyllithium is then added to create methyl ketones which when reduced with lithium aluminum hydride gives the amine group.[20]
