DDP-225 (also known as MCI-225), a thienopyrimidine analog, is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor with serotonin receptor antagonism. It shows antidepressant-like properties in animal models. MCI-225 could be useful in the treatment of attentional deficits and related cognitive dysfunctions in psychiatric disorders.

Voruciclib (also known as P1446A-05) is a flavone-based, potent and selective CDK 4/6 inhibitor with activity in multiple BRAF-mutant and wild type cell lines. It is currently in clinical trials in combination with BRAF inhibitor (PLX4032) to treat advanced BRAF-mutant melanoma. Voruciclib has significant inhibitory activity against cutaneous and uveal melanoma. Mechanistic studies revealed that P1446A-05 inhibits phosphorylation targets of CDK members, and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis irrespective of melanoma genotype or phenotype. Voruciclib Hydrochloride is in phase I clinical trials by Piramal Life Sciences for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and malignant melanoma.

N,N-Dimethyl-5-Methoxytryptamine (aka 5-MeO-DMT) is a psychedelic of the tryptamine class. It is found in a wide variety of plant species, and a single psychoactive toad species, the Colorado River toad. Like its close relatives DMT and bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), it has been used as an entheogen in South America. It can also be found in the dart poison traditionally used by the Yanoama Indians of Upper Orinoco. It acts as a non-selective serotonin (5-HT) agonist. -MeO-DMT is O-demethylated by polymorphic cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) to an active metabolite, bufotenine. 5-MeO-DMT is classified as a controlled substance in China, Australia, Sweden, Turkey, and the USA.

Ataciguat is a novel anthranilic acid derivative that belongs to a new structural class of sGC activators which are capable of activating the oxidized form of sGC. Ataciguat, a nitric oxide-independent soluble guanylate cyclase activator, is being developed by Sanofi (previously sanofi-aventis), in collaboration with Mayo Clinic and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. Ataciguat is in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of aortic valve stenosis. It had been used to treat neuropathic pain and peripheral arterial disease, but this research has been discontinued.
