amantadine and Spinocerebellar Ataxias

amantadine has been researched along with Spinocerebellar Ataxias in 4 studies

amant: an antiviral compound consisting of an adamantane derivative chemically linked to a water-solube polyanioic matrix; structure in first source

Spinocerebellar Ataxias: A group of predominately late-onset, cerebellar ataxias which have been divided into multiple subtypes based on clinical features and genetic mapping. Progressive ataxia is a central feature of these conditions, and in certain subtypes POLYNEUROPATHY; DYSARTHRIA; visual loss; and other disorders may develop. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1997, Ch65, pp 12-17; J Neuropathol Exp Neurol 1998 Jun;57(6):531-43)

"We report a case of a man with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) on high-dose amantadine who was admitted for acute on chronic dysphagia secondary to progression of SCA."4.31Amantadine withdrawal in a patient with spinocerebellar ataxia. ( Chang, E; Pak, A, 2023)
"Spinocerebellar ataxias are autosomal dominant diseases, associated in some types with a CAG repeat expansion, and characterised by a progressive loss of motor function."1.39Assessing the efficacy of specific cerebellomodulatory drugs for use as therapy for spinocerebellar ataxia type 1. ( Nag, N; Storey, E; Tarlac, V, 2013)
"The manifestations of daytime somnolence and abnormal sleep behavior have been described in SCA type 3 (SCA3) and SCA type 6 (SCA6), but as yet have not been described in SCA type 1 (SCA1)."1.36Excessive daytime somnolence in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1. ( Cunnington, D; Dang, D, 2010)
