Biapenem (INN) is a carbapenem antibiotic. It has in vitro activity against anaerobes. Approved in Japan in 2001. Biapenem is a carbopenems antibiotic which suppresses bacterial growth by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for bacterial cell wall synthesis, and shows broad-spectrum antibacterial activity both against gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. Biapenem is stable to dehaloperoxidase-I (DHP-I) and can not be administered together with DHP-I inhibitor. This product is applicable to the treatment of a variety of infections caused by sensitive bacteria: septicemia, pneumonia, lung abscess, secondary infections resulting from chronic respiratory disease, cystitis, pyelonephritis, peritonitis, appendagitis, etc. Biapenem is generally well tolerated. The most common adverse events in clinical trials were skin eruptions/rashes, nausea and diarrhoea.

Ambroxol, a substituted benzylamine, is an active metabolite of bromhexine, which is itself a synthetic derivative of vasicine, the active principle extracted from the plant species Adhatoda vasica. Ambroxol is an expectorant exerting mucokinetic properties, mucociliary activity, stimulation of surfactant production, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative actions and the local anaesthetic effect. Ambroxol was discovered at and has been manufactured by Dr. Karl Thomae GmbH, a division of Boehringer Ingelheim. The ambroxol patent is expired and the drug is available as a generic product from many different companies. Ambroxol was originally developed by Boehringer Ingelheim as a OTC therapy for respiratory disorders related to excessive mucus. Ambroxol's indication is secretolytic therapy in acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases associated with abnormal mucus secretion and impaired mucus transport. Boehringer Ingelheim markets the product under various brand names such as Mucosolvan® and Lasolvan®. Ambroxol was identified and found to be a pH-dependent, mixed-type inhibitor of glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Its inhibitory activity was maximal at neutral pH, found in the endoplasmic reticulum, and undetectable at the acidic pH of lysosomes. The pH dependence of Ambroxol to bind and stabilize the enzyme was confirmed. Ambroxol increases both the lysosomal fraction and the enzymatic activity of several mutant GCase variants. This profile of Ambroxol would allow to bind and stabilize GCase in the endoplasmic reticulum (thus preventing its degradation within endoplasmic reticulum), but without affecting GCase in the lysosomes (thus allowing it to degrade glucosylceramide). Indeed, studies showed that Ambroxol treatment significantly increased N370S and F213I mutant GCase activity and protein levels in fibroblasts originally obtained from Gaucher patients. Gaucher's disease is caused by the deficiency of glucocerebrosidase; ambroxol is a chaperone that acts by binding to and stabilising glucocerebrosidase. Zywie (formerly ExSAR Corporation) and Belrose Pharma are developing ambroxol hydrochloride (BEL 0218) for the treatment of type III Gaucher's disease. .

Zatebradine is a bradycardic compound that blocks hyperpolarization-activated inward current (If) through cyclic nucleotide-gated cation (HCN) channels in sinoatrial node cells. Additionally, it can block voltage-gated outward K+ (IK) currents and related neuronal hyperpolarization-activated inward current (Ih) channels but exhibits little or no activity for L-type Ca2+ (ICa) currents. When assessed through telemetric ECG recording in mice, zatebradine reduced heart rate from 600 to 200 beats per minute with an ED50 value of 1.8 mg/kg and induced increasing arrhythmia at concentrations >10 mg/kg.

Zamifenacin, also known as UK-76654, a selective muscarinic M3 receptor antagonist, was studied in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This drug participated in clinical trials for the IBS phase III in the USA and phase II in the UK, but these studies were discontinued.

Calmatel contains piketoprofen and belongs to the group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This medicine is indicated in adolescents over 12 years and adults for local pain relief and mild and occasional inflammation caused by: small contusions, bruises, strains; torticollis or other contractures; lumbago; minor sprains caused because of a twist.

Copper oleate is a pesticide and insecticide compound. Its use was calcelled by EPA in 1991.

Thioproperazine is a potent neuroleptic with antipsychotic properties. Thioproperazine has a marked cataleptic and antiapomorphine activity associated with relatively slight sedative, hypothermic and spasmolytic effects. It is virtually without antiserotonin and hypotensive action and has no antihistaminic property. It is used for the treatment of all types of acute and chronic schizophrenia, including those which did not respond to the usual neuroleptics; manic syndromes. Overdosage may result in severe extrapyramidal symptoms with dysphagia, marked sialorrhea, persistent and rapidly increasing hyperthermia, pulmonary syndrome, state of shock with pallor and profuse sweating, which may be followed by collapse and coma.

Trengestone is a steroid substance, a retroprogesterone. It has a strong progestogenic action and stimulating effect on the hypotalamo-hypophyseal system. It does not possess a direct oestrogenic or androgenic action. It indirectly stimulates the oestrogen productivity in the ovary via the central nervous system. The mechanism of action for induction of ovulation is not clear. It is indicated for the treatment of normooestrogenic anovulation. Ovulation occurs after trengestone administration either immediately ater termination of treatment or much later. Another indication for its administration are other functional disorders of the cycle and treatment of imminent abortion. Side-effects are: mastalgia, headache and fatigue.

22,23-dihydro-avermectin B1a is a major form of Ivermectin mixture (more than 90%). It is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic (worms), microfilaricide (heartworms), and miticide (mites) drug, used for horses, cattle, pigs, household pets. Ivermectin used in humans, especially for river blindness. Ivermectin binds selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate muscle and nerve cells of the microfilaria.

Indobufen inhibits platelet aggregation by reversibly inhibiting the platelet cyclooxygenase enzyme thereby suppressing thromboxane synthesis. Indobufen under brand name ibustrin is used in Italy for the following conditions: cerebrovascular insufficiency, atherosclerosis of peripheral and cerebral vessels, thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, and diabetes mellitus. In addition, this drug has been investigated in the phase II clinical trial for the prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation. After oral administration, it is quickly and completely absorbed.
