Oxyfedrine, an amino ketone derivative and partial agonist at beta receptors, has been shown to have potent antianginal properties and to increase coronary blood flow in normal and ischemic myocardial regions.

Dipyrone, also known as Metamizole (INN), is an ampyrone sulfonate analgesic, antispasmodic and antipyretic. It was withdrawn from US market in 1977 on the basis of reports of agranulocytosis. Depyrone is still used to treat severe and diffucult for relieving pains of different origin; headache, tooth-ache, pains in the joints, muscles, following traumas and operations, gall and kidney colics, neurites, neuralgias, traumatic cerebrasthenia; inflammation of upper respiratory ways of microbial or virus origin; chorea; febrile states. Mechanism of action of dipyrone is complex. It is believed that dipyrone exerts its action by inhibiting COX-3, and activates opioid and cannabioid systems either itself, or by products of its metabolic degradation.

Mitiglinide is a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes currently marked under tradename Glufast. Glufast® is available as the tablet for oral use, containing 5 mg or 10 mg of Mitiglinide calcium hydrate. The recommended dose is 10 mg three times daily just before each meal (within 5 minutes). Mitiglinide was approved by Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA) on January 29, 2004, and is currently co-marketed in Japan by Kissei and Takeda. Mitiglinide is a rapid-acting insulin secretion-stimulating agent, its belongs to the meglitinide (glinide) class of blood glucose-lowering drugs. Mitiglinide is thought to stimulate insulin secretion by closing the ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels in pancreatic beta-cells.

Ramosetron (INN) is a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist for the treatment of nausea, vomiting. And "diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome in males" (IBS-D). Ramosetron is licensed for use in India, Japan (Iribo) and selected Southeast Asian countries. In animal studies, ramosetron reduced defecation induced by corticotrophin-releasing hormone and had inhibitory effects on colonic nociception. In two randomized controlled studies including 957 patients with IBS-D, ramosetron increased monthly responder rates of patient-reported global assessment of IBS symptom relief compared with placebo. Ramosetron was also as effective as mebeverine in male patients with IBS-D. In a recent randomized controlled trial with 343 male patients with IBS-D, ramosetron has proved effective in improving stool consistency, relieving abdominal pain/discomfort, and improving health-related quality of life. Regarding safety, ramosetron is associated with a lower incidence of constipation compared with other 5-HT3 receptor antagonists and has not been associated with ischemic colitis.

Amrubicin is a totally synthetic 9-aminoanthracycline anticancer drug, which is approved in Japan for the treatment of small cell and non-small cell lung cancer. Upon administration amrubicin is reduced to its C-13 hydroxy metabolite, amrubicinol. The cytotoxicity of amrubicinol in vitro is 10 to 100 times greater than that of amrubicin. Thus, the anticancer activity of amrubicin is considered to derive from this active metabolite. The mechanism of action of the drug is related to the inhibition of topoisomerase II by stabilizing the cleavable complex.

Faldaprevir is a potent hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor developed by Boehringer-Ingelheim for the treatment of hepatitis C. Faldaprevir in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, or interferon-free treatment with faldaprevir in combination with deleobuvir plus ribavirin provides high sustained virological response rates for HCV genotype 1 infection. The most common adverse events were gastrointestinal disorders, rash, and photosensitivity. The interferon-free combination of faldaprevir and deleobuvir with ribavirin was effective for HCV genotype 1 infection, although further improvements will still be needed. Boehringer announced in 2014 that it would not pursue approval of the drug any more because of better HCV treatments having become available.

BENFURODIL, a 5-benzofuran derivative, is an arterioleptic drug used in the treatment of different arteriopathies.

Meprylcaine (also known as Epirocaine and Oracaine) is a local anesthetic with stimulant properties that is structurally related to dimethocaine. Meprylcaine has a relatively potent inhibitory action on the monoamine transporter and inhibits the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. Oracaine is commonly used as the hydrochloride salt and is compatible with the known vasoconstrictors. It has a slightly more rapid onset than procaine with a slight increase in potency. The earliest symptoms of a toxic overdose are stimulation to the central nervous system, thus following the same symptoms as procaine. Not more than 400 mg. (20 ml. of a 2 per cent solution) should be used at any one time for the ambulatory patient. Oracaine, like metycaine, may be used for patients sensitive to the para-aminobenzoic acid derivatives. Oracaine hydrochloride is used at present mainly by the dental profession and in dermatologic surgery.

Neticonazole is an antifungal drug. It is especially active against Candida glabrata, Trichophyton, Microsporum, Aspergillus and Fonsecaea spp. Clinical experience demonstrated neticonazole as a safe and effective treatment of mycoses like trichophytosis, candidiasis, and different types of tinea.

Safrazine (Safra) is a non-selective, irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) of the hydrazine class that was introduced as an antidepressant in the 1960s. Safrazine and electroconvulsive therapy were shown to be effective in the treatment of antidepressant-resistant depressions (ARD) but had the drawbacks of the high incidence of moderate or severe adverse reactions and high relapse rates, respectively. The use of safrazine was discontinued.
