Picodralazine is a peripheral vasodilator, sympatholytic agent exerting antihypertensive properties.

Amygdalin is a naturally occurring cyanogenic glycoside derived from nuts, plants, and the pits of certain fruits, primarily apricots. Bitter almonds containing amygdalin are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to remove “blood stasis” and to treat abscesses. Amygdalin was first used as a cancer treatment in Russia in 1845, and in the United States in the 1920s. Laetrile is another name for the natural product amygdalin. Hydrogen cyanide is thought to be the main anticancer compound formed from laetrile (Amygdalin) via in situ release. Cyanide from the hydrolysis of amygdalin is believed to be cytotoxic with actions selective against cancerous cells, but results from animal studies were mostly negative. Other animal studies suggest it may help to relieve pain due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. One study suggested amygdalin can inhibit tumor growth, but subsequent tests were unable to confirm this observation. Laetrile (Amygdalin) has shown little anticancer activity in animal studies and no anticancer activity in human clinical trials. In 1970, an IND application to study laetrile was filed by the McNaughton Foundation (San Ysidro, California). This request was initially approved but later rejected because preclinical evidence in animals showed that laetrile was not likely to be effective as an anticancer agent. The side effects associated with laetrile toxicity mirror the symptoms of cyanide poisoning, including liver damage, difficulty walking (caused by damaged nerves), fever, coma, and death. Laetrile (Amygdalin) is not approved for use in the United States.

Spiperone (Spiroperidol; brand name: Spiropitan (JP)) is a typical antipsychotic and research chemical belonging to the butyrophenone chemical class. Spiperone is selective D2 dopamine receptor antagonist; α1B-adrenoceptor antagonist; mixed 5-HT2A/5-HT1 serotonin receptor antagonist. Additionally, spiperone was identified by compound screening to be an activator of Ca2+ activated Cl− channels (CaCCs), thus a potential target for therapy of cystic fibrosis. Spiperone is widely used as a pharmacological tool for studying neurotransmitter receptors.

Sulfamonomethoxine is a long-acting sulfonamide antibiotic. It is active against Streptococcus spp. (Including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus spp.), Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., some strains of Proteus spp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitides. Sulfamonomethoxine also active against Chlamydia spp., Toxoplasma gondii, Plasmodium. Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, it penetrates the BBB. The relatively low toxicity. Sulfamonomethoxine is a competitive inhibitor of dihydropteroate synthetase used to block the synthesis of folic acid. By preventing the production of folate in bacteria, the sulfonamide antibiotics ultimately suppress bacterial DNA replication.

Zipeprol is disubstituted piperazine that is marketed as a non-opioid antitussive in Europe, Asia, and South America. Zipeprol is not available in the United States or Canada and has been discontinued in Europe. Zipeprol is still available in some countries in Asia and South America. Zipeprol was demonstrated to have anticough effects in animal models, to be active as a blocker of histamine and cholinergic function, to be a potent local anesthetic and to possess bronchiospasmolytic actions. it had no remarkable cardiovascular or gastrointestinal actions in the rat or dog in comparison to codeine.

Isoxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with long half-life. The major oxidative excretion product of isoxicam is the hydroxymethlyisoxazole metabolite, minor metabolites are open-ring sulfonamide and N-methylsaccharin. Isoxicam Is effective and well tolerated in all the major rheumatic diseases.

Zofenoprilat arginine is an Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. Its proline nucleus has phenylmercapto and mercaptomethylpropionyl additions, and is combined with a molecule of arginine in salt form. It was developed as antihypertensive agent.

Zinterol (MJ-9184-1) is an beta-adregenrgic agonist demostrated activity toward beta1-3 receptors. Oral zinterol caused a fast-appearing and long-lasting bronchodilator effect in patients with with stable chronic obstructive lung disease, however it seems development of zinterol was discontitued.

Zomebazam is is a pyrazolodiazepinone derivative drug. It is anxiolytic, nootropic drug. Zomebazam is the mother compound of razobazam. It is structurally related to zometapine.

Zylofuramine is a psychomotor stimulant. It intended for use as an appetite suppressant and for the treatment of senile dementia in the elderly, but there is little information about it and it does not appear to have ever been marketed.
