D007473	Ion Channels	Gated, ion-selective glycoproteins that traverse membranes. The stimulus for ION CHANNEL GATING can be due to a variety of stimuli such as LIGANDS, a TRANSMEMBRANE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE, mechanical deformation or through INTRACELLULAR SIGNALING PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS.

D000547	Amantadine	An antiviral that is used in the prophylactic or symptomatic treatment of influenza A. It is also used as an antiparkinsonian agent, to treat extrapyramidal reactions, and for postherpetic neuralgia. The mechanisms of its effects in movement disorders are not well understood but probably reflect an increase in synthesis and release of dopamine, with perhaps some inhibition of dopamine uptake.	1-Aminoadamantane,Adamantylamine,Adekin,Aman,Amanta,Amanta-HCI-AZU,Amanta-Sulfate-AZU,Amantadin AL,Amantadin AZU,Amantadin Stada,Amantadin-neuraxpharm,Amantadin-ratiopharm,Amantadina Juventus,Amantadina Llorente,Amantadine Hydrochloride,Amantadine Sulfate,Amixx,Cerebramed,Endantadine,Gen-Amantadine,Infecto-Flu,Infex,Mantadix,Midantan,PMS-Amantadine,Symadine,Symmetrel,Viregyt,Wiregyt,tregor,1 Aminoadamantane,AL, Amantadin,AZU, Amantadin,Amanta HCI AZU,Amanta Sulfate AZU,AmantaHCIAZU,AmantaSulfateAZU,Amantadin neuraxpharm,Amantadin ratiopharm,Amantadinneuraxpharm,Amantadinratiopharm,Gen Amantadine,GenAmantadine,Hydrochloride, Amantadine,Infecto Flu,InfectoFlu,Juventus, Amantadina,Llorente, Amantadina,PMS Amantadine,PMSAmantadine,Stada, Amantadin,Sulfate, Amantadine
D000998	Antiviral Agents	Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.

D014763	Viral Matrix Proteins	Proteins associated with the inner surface of the lipid bilayer of the viral envelope. These proteins have been implicated in control of viral transcription and may possibly serve as the "glue" that binds the nucleocapsid to the appropriate membrane site during viral budding from the host cell.
