SAR407899 is a potent, ATP-competitive Rho kinase inhibitor. It antihypertensive action in animals. Sanofi is developing SAR 407899 for the treatment of microvascular angina (Syndrome X). It was previously being developed in clinical trials for the treatment of diabetic neuropathies, diabetic nephropathies, erectile dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, hypertension and kidney disorders, but development was discontinued for those indications.

Compound M24 is a selective angiotensin II AT2 receptor agonist with a Ki value of 0.4 nM for the AT2 receptor. Compound enhances in vivo duodenal alkaline secretion in Sprague-Dawley rats, and lowers the mean arterial blood pressure in anesthetized, spontaneously hypertensive rats. In a mouse model of atherosclerosis, plaque size and stability were improved in ApoE‐/‐ mice treated with M24. Treatment with M24 resulted in decrease in scar size and reduction in markers of inflammation in a rat model of myocardial infaction.

Iganidipin is a new dihydropiridynic derivative of calcium antagonist. It is the only currently available calcium antagonist in the form of ophthalmic solution. Its topical administration increases ipsilateral optic nerve head blood flow in rabbits and monkeys and inhibits the contraction of blood vessels induced by endothelin -1. Iganidipin is also used for treat Angina pectoris and Hypertension.

(+)-Fadrozole (FAD-286) is an aldosterone synthase inhibitor. The drug was tested in vivo in preclinical models of hypertension, heart failure and was shown to reduce retinal neovascularization in rats with oxygen-induced retinopathy.

Chlorogenic acid is the ester of caffeic acid and (-)-quinic acid. Chlorogenic acid is a naturally occurring plant metabolite and can be found with the related compounds cryptochlorgenic acid and neochlorogenic acid in the leaves of Hibiscus sabdariffa, coffee, potato, eggplant, peaches, and prunes. Chlorogenic acid has been investigated as a dietary supplement to improve glucose intolerant hypoglycemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It has also been identified as a potential anticancer agent by reducing the expression of HIF-1a and Sphingosine Kinase-1. Chlorogenic acid was also identified as a neuraminidase blocker effective against influenza A virus (H1N1 and H3N2).

Pterostilbene is a naturally derived compound found primarily in blueberries and Pterocarpus marsupium heartwood. The multiple benefits of pterostilbene in the treatment and prevention of human disease have been attributed to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties leading to improved function of normal cells and inhibition of malignant cells. The antioxidant activity of pterostilbene has been implicated in anti-carcinogenesis, modulation of neurological disease, anti-inflammation, attenuation of vascular disease, and amelioration of diabetes. Pterostilbene increases LDL and reduces blood pressure in adults. Low doses of pterostilbene seem to hold some benefit for cognition.

Arctigenin is a plant lignan extracted from Arctium lappa that has been shown to have estrogenic properties. In ER-positive MCF-7 cells, arctigenin efficiently inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced cell migration and invasion. Arctigenin confers anti-metastatic effects by inhibiting MMP-9 and uPA via the Akt, NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways on breast cancer, regardless of ER expression. Intake of arctigenin could be an effective supplement for breast cancer patients. Arctigenin is a phenylpropanoid dibenzylbutyrolactone lignan compound possessing antitumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-influenza, antioxidant, antibacterial, and hypoglycaemic activities. Arctigenin exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against CCRF-CEM cells after 72 h treatment with IC50 values of 1.21 ± 0.15 um. It arrested CCRF-CEM cells in the S phase. It induced apoptosis in CCRF-CEM cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Arctigenin is a good candidate for the development of novel agents against T-cell lymphoma. Arctigenin has been found to act as an agonist of adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1). Arctigenin is an antagonist of MR and effectively decreases the Na/K-ATPase 1 gene expression, thus highlighting its potential as an anti-hypertensive drug lead compound.

Monatepil is a calcium antagonist that, as do existing calcium antagonists, inhibits the influx of extracellular Ca 2 + through voltage-dependent Ca 2 + channels. It is a new type of antihypertensive agent. Its unique chemical structure was specially designed with intrinsic calcium antagonist and a1 -adrenoceptor-blocking moieties, creating a dual mechanism of action. Positive effects on plasma lipid metabolism are derived from the a1 -adrenoceptor-blocking activity and the antiatherosclerotic effect derives from the calcium antagonist properties. The novel structure of monatepil produces a slow onset of action and a long-lasting antihypertensive effect in experimental animals.
