Description

Diamantane is an antiviral drug that is used to treat the influenza pandemic. Diamantane inhibits viral replication by interfering with viral RNA polymerase, which prevents the virus from copying its genetic material. Diamantane has shown potent antitumor activity against certain human pathogens and viruses such as herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus. The chemical stability of diamantane allows it to be administered orally or intravenously. This compound also inhibits cellular protein synthesis by binding to the ribosomes of the cell's cytoplasmic membrane. This binding prevents the amino acids from being linked together into proteins and thus disrupts protein production in cells.
