“…In this connection, adamantane-functionalized compounds [particularly its –NH- and –C(O)– derivatives] have already found important applications in medicinal chemistry as drugs to treat parkinsonism and related syndromes, and as antiviral agents to combat type-A influenza virus in humans 25. Moreover, growing interest for adamantane and related structures is currently being observed in other areas, including nanotechnology (as organic microelectronic components and coating agents), polymers, molecular recognition, and supramolecular chemistry 26…”
