Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Rimantadine is an orally active antiviral agent that acts as an inhibitor of the influenza A virus M2 proton channel. By targeting the M2 channel, rimantadine blocks proton translocation across the viral membrane during endocytosis, preventing viral uncoating and the release of viral ribonucleoprotein complexes into the host cell cytoplasm. This disruption of viral entry effectively suppresses influenza A virus replication in vitro and in vivo. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
