Abstract: Inhibition of the wild-type
M2 channel and the A/

L26F mutant forms of the channel were measured in Xenopus oocytes using two-electrode voltage clamp assays.
Introduction: During the past years, our group has synthesized several polycyclic Amt analogues containing different scaffolds, including ring-contracted, ring-rearranged, and 2,2-dialkyl derivatives of Amt.- Several of them displayed similar IC50 values for wt A/
M2 as Amt but, unfortunately, were inactive against the Amt-resistant
S31N or

Virus genes
Abstract: Molecular analysis suggested that QA viruses and clade 4 H5N1 viruses carried consistent residue signatures, such as the characteristic
M2 Ser31Asn amantadine-resistance mutation, implying a common origin of these viruses.
Abstract: Results from amantadine sensitivity tests of wild-type QA viruses and their reverse genetic viruses demonstrated that all QA viruses were resistant to amantadine, and the
M2 Ser31Asn mutation was determined as the most likely cause of the increased amantadine-resistance of H5N1 QA viruses.
