Potassium cation K-42 is a radioactive tracer. It was used to study K exchanges across the myocardial cell wall and measuring uptake of isotope by the myocardium, to measure of potassium ion influx in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and other researches related to K-transport in vivo and in vitro.

Sumanirole is a novel dopamine agonist with high affinity and efficacy at D2 dopamine receptors and has a substantial degree of selectivity for the D2 receptor over other dopamine receptor subtypes. It had been in clinical trials for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and restless leg syndrome but these studies were terminated for the efficacy reason.

Caloxetate Trisodium is triazaundecanedioic acid derivative patented by German pharmaceutical company as liver-specific magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.

Pumosetrag is a novel, orally active and selective 5-HT 3 agonist. It is a partial agonist in rats and guinea-pig and a full agonist in the mouse, suggesting important species differences in 5-HT3 receptor structure. Pumosetrag had been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and irritable bowel syndrome. No serious adverse events were reported. Diarrhea was not more common on the drug and only one subject experienced pruritus. All researches on this drug candidate are discontinued.

LY2886721 is a BACE inhibitor used for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease. LY2886721 did not inhibit other aspartyl proteases such as cathepsin D, pepsin, and renin, and reduced Aβ in a dose-dependent manner in HEK293Swe cells and in primary neurons from PDAPP transgenic mice. LY2886721 was the first BACE inhibitor to reach Phase 2 clinical research. Lilly completed six Phase 1 studies of LY2886721’s safety, tolerability, and pharmacology in a total of 150 healthy volunteers and people with Alzheimer’s disease at doses of 1–70 mg. Single and multiple ascending oral dosing was accompanied by repeat CSF sampling in the hours and days thereafter. This was done to assess CSF penetration and target engagement by way of measuring levels of the drug, BACE1 substrate, and BACE1 cleavage products. The compound lowered CSF Aβ40, Aβ42, and sAPPβ concentrations while increasing sAPPα, consistent with expectations for BACE1 inhibition. Fourteen days of daily dosing reduced BACE1 activity by 50–75 percent, and CSF Aβ42 by 72 percent. No safety concerns were apparent in dosing up to six weeks

BGT 226 is an orally available, small molecule, the dual inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and phosphatidylinositol 3'kinase (PI3K), developed by Novartis for the treatment of solid tumors, including advanced breast cancer. A phase I/II trial was completed in the US, Canada, and Spain, and a phase I trial was completed in Japan. However, development appears to have been discontinued.

Ritobegron (KUC 7483) is a selective β3-adrenoceptor agonist that was developed for oral treatment of overactive bladder. It is the prodrug of the active compound KUC-7322. Phase I studies have investigated the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic effects of ritobegron in healthy individuals and patients with spinal cord injury. Ritobegron exhibits a high selectivity for the bladder versus other organs, and decreased intravesical pressure with minimal effects on the cardiovascular system in rats. When administered in combination with organic anion transporter (OAT) inhibitors such as probenecid (primarily used in treating gout and hyperuricemia), the plasma concentration of the active compound KUC-7322 may increase.

(-)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-n-propylpiperidine ((-)-3-PPP, also known as preclamol) has a dual action towards to dopamine D2 autoreceptor: it activates it and also acts concomitantly as an antagonist at postsynaptic DA receptors. It was shown, that (-)-3PPP/preclamol was a safe drug for study in the treatment of schizophrenia and may have antipsychotic efficacy. Besides, the motor effects of the drug were evaluated in nine patients with Parkinson's disease using a double-blind, placebo-controlled design. However, the small number of patients manifesting a clinically significant response and the frequently inconsistent effects could indicate that this class of agents may have relatively limited clinical utility.
