[Antiviral chemotherapeutic agents. XVIII. Adamantane derivatives of amphetamine. Their potential interest as autonomic and antiparkinson agents]. 1975

C Runti, and M De Nardo, and S Fabrissin

Adamantane isologs of amphetamine, methamphetamine and pheniprazine and several derivatives were synthesized in order to study the influence of their more pronounced lipophilic characteristics on their biological properties. A preliminary examination of their toxicity, antiviral, CNS stimulant and antiparkinson activity is described. The adamantyl amphetamine, which proved active, will be further studied.

D002621	Chemistry	A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D006834	Hydrazines	Substituted derivatives of hydrazine (formula H2N-NH2).	Hydrazide
D000218	Adamantane	A tricyclo bridged hydrocarbon.	Diamantane
D000661	Amphetamine	A powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic. Amphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. Amphetamine is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic. The l- and the d,l-forms are included here. The l-form has less central nervous system activity but stronger cardiovascular effects. The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.

D000662	Amphetamines	Analogs or derivatives of AMPHETAMINE. Many are sympathomimetics and central nervous system stimulators causing excitation, vasopressin, bronchodilation, and to varying degrees, anorexia, analepsis, nasal decongestion, and some smooth muscle relaxation.
D000978	Antiparkinson Agents	Agents used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The most commonly used drugs act on the dopaminergic system in the striatum and basal ganglia or are centrally acting muscarinic antagonists.

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.
