Methoxychlor is a contact and stomach insecticide effective against a wide range of pests encountered in agriculture, households, and ornamental plantings. It was registered for use on fruits, vegetables, forage crops and on shade trees. Methoxychlor was also registered for veterinary use as a poison to kill parasites on dairy and beef cattle. Exposure to methoxychlor may occur during its manufacture or use as a pesticide. In an acute oral study in animals, changes in the liver were reported. Dermal contact with methoxychlor is slightly irritating to the skin. The use of methoxychlor as a pesticide was banned in the United States in 2003 and in the European Union in 2002.

Sulfalene (INN, USAN) or Sulfametopyrazine (BAN) is a long-acting sulfonamide antibiotic used for the treatment of chronic bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and malaria. Sulfametopyrazine, by virtue of a long half-life, achieves peak blood levels of 120 mkg/ml or more which fall to around 30-50 mkg/ml one week after a single oral dose of 2 g. Long-term administration of this drug in the treatment of leprosy for up to 3 years has been accomplished without serious unwanted effects

Oxitriptan is an aromatic amino acid with antidepressant activity. In vivo, oxitriptan is converted into 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) as well as other neurotransmitters. Oxitriptan may exert its antidepressant activity via conversion to serotonin or directly by binding to serotonin receptors within the central nervous system. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant. Oxitriptan is a worthwhile addition to the limited treatments available for obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder, two psychiatric disorders which have previously been difficult to manage pharmacologically. Possible gastrointestinal side effects are: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation or flatulence, which tend to disappear with continued treatment or, in any case, dose reduction. Other undesirable effects such as anorexia, xerostomia, tachycardia, extrasystoles, dizziness, headache, lightheadedness, tremor or myalgia may occur.

Tetrydamine is a member of the indazol class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. Tetrydamine lavage reduced or eliminated all inflammation symptoms like burning, leucorrhea, etc. and resulted very well tolerated in vulvovaginitis, symptomatic bacterial vaginosis and cervicitis treatment.

Disophenol is a drug used in veterinary medicine recommended for use in the treatment of dogs infested with hook worms (Ancylostoma caninum, A. braziliense and Uncinuriu stenocephala) and cats infested with the hookworm A. tubaeforme.

Oxaliplatin (brand name Eloxatin), a new generation of platinum derivatives discovered by Prof Kidani in 1976 at Nagoya University in Japan, was licensed-in and developed by Debiopharm. Eloxatin is typically administered in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin for the adjuvant treatment of stage III colon cancer and for the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the colon or rectum. Oxaliplatin undergoes nonenzymatic conversion in physiologic solutions to active derivatives via displacement of the labile oxalate ligand. Several transient reactive species are formed, including monoaquo and diaquo 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) platinum, which covalently bind with macromolecules. Both inter- and intrastrand Pt-DNA crosslinks are formed. Crosslinks are formed between the N7 positions of two adjacent guanines (GG), adjacent adenine-guanines (AG), and guanines separated by an intervening nucleotide (GNG). These crosslinks inhibit DNA replication and transcription. Cytotoxicity is cell-cycle nonspecific.

Nabiximols (USAN, trade name Sativex) is a specific extract of Cannabis that was approved as a botanical drug in the United Kingdom in 2010 as a mouth spray to alleviate neuropathic pain, spasticity, overactive bladder, and other symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Nabiximols is an oromucosal spray of a formulated extract of the cannabis sativa plant that contains the principal cannabinoids tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) as well as specific minor cannabinoids and other non-cannabinoid components. THC is a partial agonist and can block activation by other ligands of both cannabinoid receptors (CBR). THC effects include analgesia, short-term memory loss, muscle relaxation, antiemesis, appetite stimulation, and anti-inflammatory activity. CBD acts on CBR and TRPV1, while also inhibiting reuptake and hydrolysis of anandamide N-arachidonylethanolamine (AEA). CBD effects include anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, anxiolytic, neuroprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and anti-psychotic activity. CBD modulates some of the more undesirable psychological adverse effects of THC through both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects. Each 100 μl spray contains: 2.7 mg of THC and 2.5 mg of CBD. Nabiximols was approved in other European countries and Canada.

Semustine is a methylated derivative of carmustine with potent antineoplastic activity. As an alkylating agent, semustine forms covalent linkages with nucleophilic centers in DNA, causing depurination, base-pair miscoding, strand scission, and DNA-DNA cross-linking, which may result in cytotoxicity. Semustine is primarily used to treat brain tumors, colorectal tumors, lymphomas, and stomach cancer.

Terlipressin (Glypressin) is indicated for the treatment of bleeding oesophageal varices and in some countries for the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome type 1. It is a prodrug and is converted to the lysine vasopressin in the circulation after the N-triglycyl residue is cleaved by endothelial peptidases. This results in a ‘slow release’ of the vasoactive lysine vasopressin. Terlipressin exerts its action by activating V1a, V1b and V2 vasopressin receptors. On September 14, 2022, the FDA granted approval to terlipressin (Terlivaz) for the treatment of adults hospitalized with hepatorenal syndrome with rapid reduction in kidney function (HRS-1). Prior to the approval, no approved treatment for this condition existed in the United States.

Dasiglucagon (Zegalogue®) is an antihypoglycaemic agent being developed by Zealand Pharma for the treatment of hypoglycaemia, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) management and congenital hyperinsulinism. Dasiglucagon is a glucagon receptor agonist, which increases blood glucose concentration by activating hepatic glucagon receptors, thereby stimulating glycogen breakdown and release of glucose from the liver. Hepatic stores of glycogen are necessary for dasiglucagon to produce an antihypoglycemic effect. In March 2021, dasiglucagon received its first approval in the USA for the treatment of severe hypoglycaemia in paediatric and adult patients with diabetes aged 6 years and above. Dasiglucagon, a glucagon analogue, is available as a single-dose autoinjector or prefilled syringe for subcutaneous injection.
