Camobucol is a novel, orally active, phenolic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound with antirheumatic properties. Camobucol exhibited potent antioxidant activity toward lipid peroxides in vitro and displayed enhanced cellular uptake relative to a structurally related drug, probucol. This resulted in potent inhibition of cellular levels of reactive oxygen species in multiple cell types. Camobucol selectively inhibited tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-inducible levels of the redox-sensitive genes, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, with less inhibition of E-selectin, and no effect on intracellular adhesion molecule-1 expression in endothelial cells. In addition, Camobucol inhibited cytokine-induced levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8 from endothelial cells and human fibroblast-like synoviocytes as well as lipopolysaccharide-induced release of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Camobucol did not inhibit TNF-alpha-induced nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of the kappa-enhancer in B cells (NF-kappaB), suggesting that the mechanism of action is independent of this redox-sensitive transcription factor.

Propetandrol is a pregnanediol derivative patented by Schering A.-G. as long-acting anabolic androgen. Propetandrol is potent in the prevention of tissue calcification and skeletal lesions.

Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (or 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)), a synthetic, psychoactive drug also known as ecstasy that was used as a recreational drug. This drug acts as both a stimulant and psychedelic and exerts its effects in the brain on neurons that use the chemicals serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine to communicate with other neurons. In spite of the presence of this compound in the List of control and forbidden compounds, it was studied in psychotherapy for patients with chronic, treatment-resistant posttraumatic stress disorder. Initial results showed efficacy for the treatment approach, although further studies are needed.

Bromacrylide is an acrylamide-based alkylating agent with antineoplastic activity. Bromacrylide after oral or intraperitoneal administration decrease tumor growth in animal models. Unfortunately, Bromacrylide demonstrates severe toxicity, including severe bone marrow suppression and weight loss.

Lurtotecan is a semisynthetic analog of camptothecin with antineoplastic activity. It is an inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I. Liposomal formulation of lurtotecan was being studied in the treatment of cancer. Lurtotecan development has been discontinued.

Mitoflaxone, also known as flavone acetic acid is a synthetic flavonoid that has been studied as an antitumor agent. Mitoflaxone was involved in phase II clinical trials in Europe for patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma and for patients with advanced malignant melanoma. Despite the promising preclinical activity, this drug didn’t demonstrate any clinical activity. Further studies of the drug were suspended.

Ethyl cartrizoate has been used in diagnostics as a bronchographic agent.

Azimexon, a synthetic derivative of the 2-cyanaziridines, possesses the immunorestorative properties that were shown for patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Besides, azimexon had a role in managing cancer-associated dysregulation of the immune response. It was studied in clinical trials phase I to determine the drug's tolerable dose, toxicity, and effects on immune and nonimmune host defense parameters.

Iclazepam (also known as Clazepam) was used as a tranquilliser.

Clocoumarol is a synthetic antagonist of vitamin K, developed in the 1970s. Clocoumarol exhibits strong anticoagulant properties in rat and rabbit.
