Lifibrol is a hypocholesterolemic compound. The effect of lifibrol on serum cholesterol levels has been examined in several animal models and clinical trials. The efficacy of lifibrol in lowering total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apo B is comparable to the 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, the most potent lipid-lowering drugs known so far. In addition, lifibrol reduces serum triglycerides, lipoprotein (a), and fibrinogen. lifibrol acts synergistically upon key regulatory processes of cholesterol homeostasis: it reduces cholesterol absorption from the intestine, moderately decreases hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis and stimulates the expression of low density lipoprotein receptors, presumably by a sterol-independent mechanism. Lifibrol had been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia. However, this study was discontinued. It has the potential to accumulate in the liver and induce hepatic peroxisome proliferation.

Amoscanate (4-isothiocyanato-4'-nitrodiphenylamine) is an experimental antiparasitic agent. Amoscanate possesses chemotherapeutic activity against schistosomes, and in higher doses against many other helminths including filariids and Hymenolepis diminuta.

Methoprene is a pesticide that acts as a juvenile hormone agonist. Although developed initially against insects, it has since been shown to have toxic effects on larval and adult crustaceans. Methoprene was one of the several pesticides applied to the Western Long Island Sound (WLIS) watershed area during the summer of 1999. Methoprene is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers (R and S in a ratio of 1:1). The activity of the compound as a juvenile hormone is restricted to the S enantiomer. Recent data have been describing the male sexual enhancement after methoprene treatment in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae). It has been shown, that a sustained response doesn`t not fade away after sexual maturation, thus the potential benefits of using methoprene to increase the efficiency of the sterile insect technique, which is an environmentally safe method to control this fruit pest, have been proposed.

Urefibrate, clofibrate derivative, is a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) agonist. It is an antihyperlipidaemic agent.

Elinogrel, previously known as PRT060128 or PRT128, is a direct-acting, reversible P2Y12 inhibitor for both intravenous and oral administration. Elinogrel has been tested in 2 phase II studies for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction and prevention of secondary thrombotic events. Elinogrel therapy was associated with an increased incidence of dyspnea and incidence of elevated liver transaminases. The development of the drug was terminated in January 2012 by Novartis.

Taprizosin (also known as UK-338,003) is an alpha1A-adrenoceptor antagonist that was developed for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, this compound possesses poor oral absorption.

Troquidazole (EGIS-4136) is a radiosensitizer. It is a nitroquinoline derivative which enhances the radiosensitivity of hamster’s ovarian cells in both normoxia and hypoxia. Misonidazole at a concentration of 5 mM exerted a radiosensitizing effect as strong as 0.5 mM EGIS-4136.

Propenzolate is a pyridine derivative patented by National Research Development Corp. as an anticholinergic agent. Propenzolate is effective antidotes to the cholinesterase-inhibiting action of various organophosphorus compounds. In clinical trials, Propenzolate has an activity that decreases to some extent the secretion of hydrochloric acid and the volume of gastric juice. Adverse effects, including nausea, vomiting, weakness, and drowsiness, as well as xerostomia and cycloplegia, are observed in a high percentage of patients receiving 0.5 to 1.0 mg. every 12 hours.

Peraquinsin is an antihypertensive agent.
