Hemantane, or hymantane, also known as N-(2-adamantyl)hexamethyleneimine, is an experimental antiparkinsonian agent of the adamantane family that was never marketed.[1] It was developed and studied in Russia.[1]
It has been said to act as a low-affinity non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, as a selective MAO-B inhibitor, and as showing various other actions and effects such as modulation of the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems in the striatum.[1][2] The drug has also been theorized to be a sigma receptor agonist, which is said to likely be involved in its dopaminergic effects.[1] Analogues of hemantane, such as memantine and amantadine, share some of these actions, like NMDA receptor antagonism, sigma receptor agonism, and dopaminergic modulation.[1]
The drug was first described by 2000.[3][4]
The dosage of gimantan is standardized to 50mg tablet strength.[5]
