Arzoxifene (LY353381) is a synthetic, nonsteroidal ligand termed selective estrogen receptor modulator. Arzoxifene has antiestrogenic effects on the breast and endometrium, but pro-estrogenic effects on bone and lipids. Arzoxifene has been studied in the treatment of various hormone-responsive neoplasms. Its development has been discontinued.

Remikiren (Ro 42-5892) is a very potent renin inhibitor in vitro and in vivo. Clinical results show that remikiren is a potent orally active renin inhibitor inducing a long lasting blood pressure decrease. Remikiren development has been discontinued.

Camylofin is an antimuscarinic. This medication is used as antispasmodic in biliary colic, renal and ureteric colic, dysmenorrhoea, peptic ulcer and chronic enterocolitis. It is used to treat stomach ache in infants and children. Camylofin should be the first choice and may be preferred over other drugs for cervical dilatation and acceleration of active phase of labor.

Aprindine is a class Ib antiarrhythmic agent. It is not approved in USA, but is available in European countries, where it is used to treat supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Aprindine acts by blocking sodium voltage channels and disrupting interactions between calmodulin and prosphodiesterase.

Dapoxetine hydrochloride is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs). In addition, dapoxetine inhibits voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels in a dose-, time-, use-, and state (open)-dependent manner, independent of serotonin reuptake inhibition. Dapoxetine is indicated for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in men 18 to 64 years of age, who have all of the following: persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, on, or shortly after penetration and before the patient wishes; and marked personal distress or interpersonal difficulty as a consequence of PE; and poor control over ejaculation. The mechanism of action of dapoxetine in premature ejaculation is presumed to be linked to the inhibition of neuronal reuptake of serotonin and the subsequent potentiation of the neurotransmitter's action at pre- and post-synaptic receptors. The most common effects when taking dapoxetine are nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, and insomnia.

Rufloxacin (MF-934) is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug. It acts as a DNA gyrase inhibitor. Rufloxacin shows in vitro antibacterial activity against E. coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Proteus and Staphylococcus spp. Lower in vitro activity was observed with Pseudomonas, Serratia, Enterobacter and the streptococci group D. Rufloxacin is indicated for the treatment of lower respiratory tract and urinary tract infections caused by germs sensitive to rufloxacin.

Ramatroban is a dual antagonist of thromboxane A2 receptor and PGD2 receptor. The drug was developed by Bayer and tested for the treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis. In Japan ramatroban reached final approval and is being marketed under the name Baynas. In vitro studies have shown that the drug effectively inhibits smooth muscle cells contraction.

Lazabemide is a reversible and selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) that was under clinical development against Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and as an aid to smoking cessation. The development of the drug was discontinued due to liver toxicity.

Benzilonium is an antispasmodic and antimuscarinic drug. Benzilonium bromide is a quarternary antimuscarinic agent with minimal passage of the blood-brain barrier.

Tedisamil is an antiarrhythmic with additional anti-ischaemic properties, which acts via potassium channel blockade. This drug can be categorised as a class III antiarrhythmic agent due to its effects of action potential and QT interval prolongation in these patients. Although tedisamil has been shown to be an effective anti-ischaemic agent, with Phase III trials for angina pectoris now completed, the company are now pursuing the use of tedisamil for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, for which tedisamil is still in Phase II/III clinical trials. The FDA’s Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee voted not to recommend approval for Solvay Pharmaceuticals’ investigational anti-arrhythmic drug Pulzium (Tedisamil) and asked the company to give the FDA more information.
