Abstract excerpt
As an essential component of the viral envelope, M2 proton channel plays a central role in the virus replications and has been a key target for drug design against the influenza A viruses. The adamantadine-based drugs, such as amantadine and rimantadine, were developed for blocking the channel so as to suppress the replication of viruses. However, patients, especially those infected by the H1N1 influenza A...
