Estrone, one of the major mammalian estrogens, is an aromatized C18 steroid with a 3-hydroxyl group and a 17-ketone. It is produced in vivo from androstenedione or from testosterone via estradiol. It is produced primarily in the ovaries, placenta, and in peripheral tissues (especially adipose tissue) through conversion of adrostenedione. Estrone may be further metabolized to 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone, which may be reduced to estriol by estradiol dehydrogenase. Estrogens enter the cells of responsive tissues (e.g. female organs, breasts, hypothalamus, pituitary) where they interact with estrogen receptors. Hormone-bound estrogen receptors dimerize, translocate to the nucleus of cells and bind to estrogen response elements (ERE) of genes. Binding to ERE alters the transcription rate of affected genes. Estrogens increase the hepatic synthesis of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), and other serum proteins and suppress follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) release from the anterior pituitary. Estrone dl-Form is a derivative of estrone. As early as 1935 extensive research programs directed toward the total synthesis of the female sex hormone estrone were well under way. These studies have since been continued with increasing interest in laboratories all over the world. In 1942 Bachmann, Kushner and Stevenson succeeded in synthesizing a stereoisomer of the hormone,''estrone a." Using essentially the same synthetic scheme as Bachmann, et al., Anner and Miescher were able to isolate additional stereoisomers including dl-estrone (Estrone, (+-)-Isomer) . Six of the eight possible racemic forms, estrone, a-f, have now been reported. Dl-Estrone (Estrone, (+-)-Isomer) is less active than Estrone.

D-Psicose (akaD-allulose) is a low energy monosaccharide found throughout nature in small quantities. t is a c-3 epimer of D-fructose and has 50% the sweetness of sucrose. Possible health benefits include improved insulin resistance, antioxidant enhancement and formation, and hypoglycemic controls. The use US-FDA lists psicose as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and has approved its use as a food additive in a wide variety of products. Psicose is not generally metabolized and does not raise blood sugar levels above baseline after consumption. In addition, to use as a low-calorie sweetener, psicose has also been formally investigated as a dietary supplement to control obesity and pre-diabetic insulin insensitivities. Furthermore, D-psicose has shown the ability to inhibit the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells in vitro.

Idalopirdine (Lu AE58054) is a Serotonin 6 receptor (5-HT6) antagonist. Idalopirdine exrets good oral bioavailability and robust efficacy in a rat model of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. In rats idalopirdine potentiates the effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil on two pharmacodynamic biomarkers associated with cognition, i.e. neuronal oscillations and extracellular ACh levels in the hippocampus. Such potentiation could contribute to the procognitive effects of idalopirdine observed in donepezil-treated Alzheimer's disease patients. The compound is being developed by Lundbeck as an adjunctive therapy with acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil, and is in phase III development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in multiple countries worldwide. A phase II trial for the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia was conducted; however no recent reports of development for idalopirdine have been identified.

Furfenorex (unde brand name Frugalan), was used against obesity as an appetite suppressant. One of its metabolite was metamphetamine, which lead to the abuse to the drug. That is why this drug is no longer marketed

Tesofensine (also known as NS-2330) is a novel triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor with intrinsic inhibitory activity on norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5-HT), and dopamine (DA) transporter function. It was development by NeuroSearch as a potential therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's diseases, but these efforts have been discontinued. In phase II clinical trials with tesofensine in obese individuals, dose-related reductions in body weight, body fat and waist circumference, as well as improvements in other obesity-related endocrine factors were observed and the FDA recently endorsed the phase III trial program for this agent.
