Spiramide (AMI-193) is a spiperone derivative, a selective 5-HT2A, (Ki = 2 nM) 5-HT1A (Ki = 50 nM), and D2 receptor (Ki = 3 nM) antagonist, with negligible affinity for the 5-HT2C receptor (Ki = 4300 nM). The ability of Spiramide to serve as a functional 5-HT2A antagonist in behavioral studies was demonstrated through studies in which Spiramide blocked the discriminative - stimulus effects of the 5HT2A agonist 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOM).

Lificiguat (YC-1) [3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzylindazole], a chemically synthetic benzylindazole compound, is a direct soluble guanylate cyclase activator. It possessed antiplatelet activity. YC-1 inhibits Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). YC-1 demonstrated antineoplastic potential both in vitro and in vivo in animal models.

Lanicemine is a low-trapping NMDA channel blocker, which was developed by Fisons Pharmaceuticals and later by AstraZeneca for the treatment of the major depressive disorder. The development was terminated in phase II as the drug did not meet the primary endpoint.

Metacetamol (3-hydroxyacetanilide) is a structural isomer of the widely used drug paracetamol and is being considered as a promising alternative to the latter because of its lower toxicity. 3-hydroxyacetanilide, the positional isomer of paracetamol, does not cause depletion of GSH in vivo or hepatotoxicity even though the extent of covalent binding of the reactive metabolite (in vivo or in vitro) is comparable to that for an equimolar dose of paracetamol. Metacetamol should prove to be a useful tool to aid in the discrimination of hepatic acetaminophen protein adducts that may be critical or noncritical to survival of hepatocytes

ISOPREDNIDENE is a synthetic glucocorticoid. It suppresses both the release and the synthesis of adrenocorticotropin by the pituitary gland.

Decimemide is a spasmolytic and anticonvulsant derivative of benzamide, developed by the Hungarian E.G.Y.R Gyogyszervegyeszeti Gyar. The compound is claimed to effectively inhibit convulsion caused by chemoconvulsants or electric shock and to have a strong antiepileptic effect without showing any neurodepressant character.

Drinabant is a selective CB1 receptor antagonist under investigation varyingly as a treatment for obesity, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and nicotine dependence. Drinabant may be useful to treat the cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and as a co-treatment with currently available antipsychotics. Coadministration of olanzapine and drinabant attenuated body weight gain, diminishing the enhanced food intake while maintaining increased energy expenditure and decreased motility. Sanofi has outlicensed global development and commercialization rights to drinabant to Opiant Pharmaceuticals, which said it plans to start developing the acute cannabinoid overdose (ACO) candidate in the 2019 year. Opiant said drinabant will be developed as an injectable for administration in an emergency department setting.

Ethylmethylthiambutene is a potent analgesic compatible with morphine. It possesses addiction liability similar to that of morphine.

Elopiprazole [DU 29894 or 1-(7-benzofuranyl)-4-[[5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-H-pyrrol-2yl]methyl]piperazine) is an antagonist at dopamine D2 and D3 receptors and an agonist at serotonin1A receptors. Elopiprazole development for the treatment of psychotic disorders has been discontinued.

Manifaxine (GW 320659) is a highly selective neuronal norepinephrine and dopamine re-uptake inhibitor. It has been in phase II clinical trials by GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity. Manifaxine development has been discontinued.
