Methandriol is an anabolic steroid. Methandriol is classified as a weak anabolic with weak androgenic properties. Methandriol displays some level of estrogenic activity, making this steroid less useful for dieting. The drug is generally considered too mild and is not widely popular among bodybuilders and athletes. It seems most prominent in Australia now, where it remains included in a number of veterinary anabolic steroid products.

Zolamine is an antihistamine with local anesthetic properties. Zolamine is reported to have a low incidence of side effects and is used clinically both as an antihistaminic and a topical local anesthetic.

Inositol hexanitrate is a derivative of carbocyclic sugar inositol, where all six hydroxyl groups were substituted by nitro groups. Inositol hexanitrate was marketed under tradename Tolanate for the treatment of essential hypertension, particularly in emotional hypertension and the hypertension of the menopause.

Diamthazole is an antifungal drug that was used for the treatment of tinea pedis. The drug was withdrawn from the market, because it was associated with neuropsychiatric adverse reactions.

Chlorotrianisene (TACE®) is a powerful synthetic, non-steroidal estrogen used to treat symptoms of menopause, deficiencies in ovary function (including underdevelopment of female sexual characteristics and some types of infertility), and in rare cases, prostate cancer. It may also be used to prevent breast engorgement following childbirth. Chlorotrianisene (TACE®) binds to the estrogen receptor on various estrogen receptor bearing cells. Target cells include cells in the female reproductive tract, the mammary gland, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary. Estrogens increase the hepatic synthesis of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), and other serum proteins and suppress follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary.

Metabutethamine hydrochloride was used as a local anesthetic.

Hexamethonium is a nicotinic cholinergic antagonist. It was used to treat hypertension, but has never been approved and was discontinued because of the non-specified treatment. When this drug tried to use in medical study via inhalation, one of the volunteer died, the death has been described as “particularly disturbing ”because it was a healthy volunteer who had no thing to gain by taking part in the study. This volunteer participated in a study designed to provoke a mild asthma attack in order to help doctors discover the reflex that protects the lungs of healthy people against asthma attacks. Hexamethonium is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Now it is widely used a research tool.

Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic found in many topical medications such as creams, ointments, and eye drops. In vitro tests have demonstrated that neomycin is bactericidal and acts by inhibiting the synthesis of protein in susceptible bacterial cells. It is effective primarily against gram-negative bacilli but does have some activity against gram-positive organisms. Neomycin is active in vitro against Escherichia coli and the Klebsiella-Entero. Topical uses include treatment for superficial eye infections caused by susceptible bacteria (used in combination with other anti-infective), treatment of otitis externa caused by susceptible bacteria, treatment or prevention of bacterial infections in skin lesions, and use as a continuous short-term irrigant or rinse to prevent bacteriuria and gram negative rod bacteremia in bacteriuria patients with indwelling catheters. May be used orally to treat hepatic encephalopathy, as a perioperative prophylactic agent, and as an adjunct to fluid and electrolyte replacement in the treatment of diarrhea caused to enter pathogenic E. coli (EPEC). Neomycin sulfate has been shown to be effective adjunctive therapy in hepatic coma by reduction of the ammonia forming bacteria in the intestinal tract. The subsequent reduction in blood ammonia has resulted in neurologic improvement. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Neomycin Sulfate Oral Solution and other antibacterial drugs, susceptible bacteria should use Neomycin Sulfate Oral Solution only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. Neomycin binds to four nucleotides of 16S rRNA and a single amino acid of protein S12. This interferes with decoding site near nucleotide 1400 in 16S rRNA of 30S subunit. This region interacts with the wobble base in the anticodon of tRNA. This leads to interference with the initiation complex, misreading of mRNA so incorrect amino acids are inserted into the polypeptide leading to nonfunctional or toxic peptides and the breakup of polysomes into nonfunctional monosomes

Polymyxin B is a lipopeptide antibiotic isolated from Bacillus polymyxa. Its basic structure consists of a polycationic peptide ring and a tripeptide side chain with a fatty acid tail. Polymyxin B is a mixture of at least four closely related components, polymyxin B1 to B4, with polymyxin B1 and B2 being the two major components. Polymyxin B acts on Gram-negative bacteria by interacting with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the outer membrane and destabilizing it. Polymyxin B is indicated for the treatment of many bacterial diseases such as meningeal infections, urinary tract infections and bacteremia.
