Pipofezine (Azafen or Azaphen) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) approved in Russia for the treatment of depression. It was introduced in the late 1960s and is still used today. Pipofezine has been shown to act as a potent inhibitor of the reuptake of serotonin. In addition to its antidepressant action, pipofezine has sedative effects as well, suggesting antihistamine activity. Other properties such as anticholinergic or antiadrenergic actions are less clear but are likely. The main advantage of Azafen compared with other tricyclic antidepressants is that this drug has a low toxic effect on the body, including the heart, and it does not block cholinergic receptors and does not change the activity of monoamine oxidase. The maximum concentration in the blood is reached after 1-2 hours after taking the drug. Absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, metabolism occurs in the liver, and is excreted by Azaphene kidneys.

Sodium 1-Naphthaleneacetate (SODIUM 1-NAPHTHALENEACETATE) is a plant growth regulator. It has being shown that root application of certain concentration of sodium naphthalene acetate (SNA) could promote the growth of tomato seedlings by increasing the tomato root activity, protective enzymes activity, Pn and regulating endogenous hormone concentration under suboptimum temperature and light condition.

Hymecromone (4-methylumbelliferone) is already approved drug in Europe and Asia where it is used to treat biliary spasm. It is used as choleretic and antispasmodic drugs and as a standard for the fluorometric determination of enzyme activity. The concomitant administration of Hymecromone with products, containing metoclopramide, leads to mutual decrease of their action. Due to a danger of diarrhea with subsequent hypokalemia, Hymecromone should be applied with caution to patients on cardiac glycosides therapy (in these cases the sensitivity to them is increased). Hymecromone can be administered simultaneously with otherspasmolytics and analgesics. Very rare allergic reactions, itching, erythema, rashes; diarrhea which normally disappears by reduction of dose or discontinuance of therapy.

Laninamivir ocatanoate is a prodrug of Laninamivir (R-125489), a new neuraminidase (NA) inhibitor, was discovered, and in this study, its NA inhibitory activities against various influenza viruses including oseltamivir-resistant viruses are reported. Laninamivir octanoate has been approved for use in Japanese clinics for the treatment and prevention of influenza in both adults and children. The inhaled laninamivir octanoate is converted into its active form, laninamivir, in the lungs where a high concentration persists for a long period of time.

Menbutone is a choleretic compound which is used in veterinary medicine at a dose rate up to 10 mg/kg bw by parenteral (intravenous or intramuscular) route in bovine, ovine, caprine, porcine, and equine species. Menbutone stimulates the digestive tract by increasing excretion of bile, gastric acid, and pancreatic juices by two to five times baseline. It is marketed for veterinary use in Europe under several brand names.

Taltirelin (TA-0910), a synthetic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analog, has been developed by Tanabe Seiyaku for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Taltirelin mimics the physiological actions of TRH, but with a much longer half-life and duration of effects, and little development of tolerance following prolonged dosing. Taltirelin has nootropic, neuroprotective and analgesic effects. Taltirelin is primarily being researched for the treatment of spinocerebellar ataxia; limited research has also been carried out with regard to other neurodegenerative disorders, e.g., spinal muscular atrophy.

Pizotifen (INN) or pizotyline (USAN), trade name Sandomigran, is a benzocycloheptene-based drug used as a medicine, primarily as a preventative to reduce the frequency of recurrent migraine headaches. Pizotifen is a serotonin antagonist acting mainly at the 5-HT2A and 5HT2C receptors. It also has some activity as an antihistamine as well as some anticholinergic activity. The main medical use for pizotifen is for the prevention of vascular headache including migraine and cluster headache. Pizotifen is one of a range of medications used for this purpose, other options include propranolol, topiramate, valproic acid and amitriptyline. While pizotifen is reasonably effective, its use is limited by side effects, principally drowsiness and weight gain, and it is usually not the first choice medicine for preventing migraines, instead being used as an alternative when other drugs have failed to be effective. It is not effective in relieving migraine attacks once in progress. Pizotifen has also been reported as highly effective in a severe case of erythromelalgia, a rare neurovascular disease that is sometimes refractory to the other drugs named above. Side effects include sedation, dry mouth, drowsiness, increased appetite and weight gain. Occasionally it may cause nausea, headaches, or dizziness. In rare cases, anxiety, aggression and depression may also occur. Pizotifen is well absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, peak plasma concentrations occurring approximately 5 hours after oral administration. The absorption of pizotifen is fast (absorption half life 0.5 to 0.8 hours) and nearly complete (80%). Over 90% is bound to plasma proteins. Pizotifen undergoes extensive metabolism. Over half of a dose is excreted in the urine, chiefly as metabolites; a significant proportion is excreted in the faeces. The primary metabolite of pizotifen (N-glucuronide conjugate) has a long elimination half-life of about 23 hours.

Ethamsylate (2,5-dihydroxy-benzene-sulfonate diethylammonium salt) is a synthetic hemostatic drug indicated in cases of capillary bleeding. Ethamsylate acts on the first step of hemostasis by improving platelet adhesiveness and restoring capillary resistance. In addition it inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis. Well-controlled clinical trials clearly showed the therapeutic efficacy of ethamsylate in dysfunctional uterine bleeding, with the magnitude of blood-loss reduction being directly proportional to the severity of the menorrhagia. Other well-controlled clinical trials showed therapeutic efficacy of ethamsylate in periventricular hemorrhage in very low birth weight babies and surgical or postsurgical capillary bleeding.

Rimonabant (also known as SR141716; trade names Acomplia, Zimulti) was an anorectic antiobesity drug that was first approved in Europe in 2006 but was withdrawn worldwide in 2008 due to serious psychiatric side effects. Rimonabant is an inverse agonist for the cannabinoid receptor CB1 and was the first drug approved in that class. There is considerable evidence that the endocannabinoid (endogenous cannabinoid) system plays a significant role in appetitive drive and associated behaviors. It is, therefore, reasonable to hypothesize that the attenuation of the activity of this system would have therapeutic benefit in treating disorders that might have a component of excess appetitive drive or over-activity of the endocannabinoid system, such as obesity, ethanol and other drug abuse, and a variety of central nervous system and other disorders. Data from clinical trials submitted to regulatory authorities showed that rimonabant caused depressive disorders or mood alterations in up to 10% of subjects and suicidal ideation in around 1%, and in Europe, it was contraindicated for people with any psychiatric disorder, including depressed or suicidal people. Additionally, nausea and upper respiratory tract infections were very common (occurring in more than 10% of people) adverse effects; common adverse effects (occurring in between 1% and 10% of people) included gastroenteritis, anxiety, irritability, insomnia and other sleep disorders, hot flushes, diarrhea, vomiting, dry or itchy skin, tendonitis, muscle cramps and spasms, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, and increased risk of falling.
