Profadol is a pyrrolidine derivative patented in the 1960s by pharmaceutical company Parke-Davis as opioid analgesic. Profadol acts as a mixed agonist-antagonist of the μ-opioid receptor and in preclinical studies, Profadol precipitates abstinence in morphine-dependent monkeys and can reverse pethidine- induced narcosis in nondependent monkeys. In morphine-dependent human subjects, Profadol was also found to pre¬cipitate acute abstinence syndromes, with a potency 40 to 50 times less than that of nalorphine. Profadol, unlike other morphine-antagonists, does not produce nalorphine-like subjective effects. Over a fourfold range of doses, this drug was found to produce subjective effects indistinguishable from those of morphine. Also unlike other morphine-antagonists, profadol is quite active on the "classical" rodent tests for analgesia. It is about 1.3 times as potent as pethidine on the mouse hot-plate test, and about four times as potent on the rat tail-pressure test.

Clonitazene is a synthetic opioid analgesic, structurally related to etonitazene. In the USA clonitazene is a schedule I narcotic controlled substance.

E-7090 is a novel selective inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptors, that displays potent anti-tumor activity. It is a promising candidate as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of tumors harboring FGFR genetic abnormalities. E-7090 is an orally available and selective inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activities of FGFR1, -2, and -3. In kinetic analyses E-7090 associated more rapidly with FGFR1 than did the type II FGFR1 inhibitor ponatinib, and E-7090 dissociated more slowly from FGFR1, with a relatively longer residence time, than did the type I FGFR1 inhibitor AZD4547, suggesting that its kinetics are more similar to the type V inhibitors, such as lenvatinib. E-7090 showed selective antiproliferative activity against cancer cell lines harboring FGFR genetic abnormalities and decreased tumor size in a mouse xenograft model using cell lines with dysregulated FGFR. Furthermore, E-7090 administration significantly prolonged the survival of mice with metastasized tumors in the lung. It is being investigated in a Phase I clinical trial for treatment of patients with solid tumors.

Ethomoxane is antagonist of alpha-adrenoreceptor exerting antihypertensive properties.

Ipatasertib, an investigational Akt inhibitor, is currently in clinical development based on its potential to specifically target Akt in tumors with activated Akt signaling. Preclinical data have shown that ipatasertib selectively decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis in tumor cell lines characterized by activated Akt. Ipatasertib is advancing in clinical development including three Phase 2 trials in patients with breast cancer, gastric cancer and prostate cancer. The most commonly reported adverse events associated with Ipatasertib were Grade 1-2 diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, decreased appetite and rash.

Cabiotraxetan is a therapeutic carrier for radiolabel Yttrium, that can be used as diagnostic agent.

HCI-2084 (wider known as TP-0903) is developing by Tolero Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of different cancers. HCI-2084 is a small molecule AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor. AXL is involved in maintaining a mesenchymal phenotype in cancer cells that enhanced cell survival in stressed environments, and increased resistance to targeted therapies compared to epithelial cells. AXL overexpression has been observed in multiple tumor types that have acquired resistance to various agents. TP-0903 is participating in phase I/II clinical trial in patients with previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This study will investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of TP-0903. Besides, phase I is currently being conducted in patients with advanced solid tumors in the presence of TP-0903. In addition, TP-0903 was investigated in neuroblastoma (NB) cells, where this drug makes NB cells more vulnerable to the conventional chemotherapeutics.

Desomorphine is the common name for 4,5--epoxy-17- methylmorphinan-3-ol or dihydrodesoxymorphine-D. It is an opioid analogue and morphine derivative in which the 6-hydroxyl group and the double bond at carbons 7 and 8 of morphine are reduced. Desomorphine can cross the blood–brain barrier, binding to opioid receptors, similar to the pharmacokinetic distribution of all phenanthrene-structured alkaloids. Taking Desomorphine causes euphoria as well as sedative and analgesic relief. In addition to its faster onset than other powerful painkillers drugs such as morphine, desomorphine also initiates less sedative effects and seems to have favorable postoperative results, such as reduced need for catheterization, less dizziness, and decreased vomiting incidence. In comparison with Morphine, Desomorphine is faster reduced. It follows that it has to be taken it more frequently to get the same effects. Furthermore, it causes side effects such as respiratory and gastrointestinal problems and increased blood pressure. In addition, Desomorphine’s withdrawal symptoms are up to three times longer than Morphine’s. This leads to the conclusion that Desomorphine is more addictive. At present, desomorphine is classified as a narcotic drug (DEA code number 9055) in Schedule I of the U.S. Controlled Substances Act and is listed as a controlled substance under the international Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961.
