Nalorphine has a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist properties. Nalorphine inhibits the cholinesterases of mouse brain, bovine erythrocytes and horse serum. It acts on mu-, k- and sigma-opioid receptors. Nalorfin by virtue of the agonistic effect has an analgesic effect but to a much lesser extent than morphine. Initially, before the appearance of a "pure" morphine-naloxone antagonist, nalorphine was used as an antidote for severe respiratory depression and other body function disorders caused by acute poisoning in case of an overdose of morphine, promedol, fentanyl or other narcotic analgesics, or with increased sensitivity to them. At present, nalorphine is practically not used for this purpose. It was replaced by naloxone. Large doses of nalorphine can cause nausea, cramps, drowsiness, headache, mental stimulation.

CHLORMERODRIN, an isourea derivative, is an organomercury compound that was previously used as a diuretic. Its radiolabelled (197Hg, 203Hg) forms were used as diagnostics in renal imaging and brain scans.

Bromodiphenhydramine also known as bromazine, is an antihistamine and anticholinergic agent, which was used to under brand name ambordyl. Ambordyfor was indicated for the treatment of allergic symptoms, but that usage, was discontinued. It was shown, that bromodiphenhydramine competed with free histamine for binding at HA-receptor sites and lead to a reduction of the negative symptoms brought on by histamine HA-receptor binding.

Dimethisoquin (also known as Quinisocaine and QUOTANE) is a topical anesthetic used as an antipruritic. It was shown that dimethisoquin inhibits nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (alpha4/beta4 and alpha4/beta2) with the maximum inhibition potency occurring for the α4β4 subtype.

Iopanoic acid is a representative iodinated ionic monomeric contrast medium.

THIOCARBARSONE is an arsenical amoebicide.

Phenacemide, also known as phenylacetylurea, is an anticonvulsant of the ureide (acetylurea) class. Phenacemide was introduced in 1949 for the treatment of epilepsy, but was eventually withdrawn from the market because of its severe side effects, which includes personality changes, blood, renal and skin disorders.

Gallamine triethiodide is a synthetic nondepolarizing blocking drug, which is allosteric antagonist of muscarinic M2 acetylcholine receptor and inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. It was used under brand name flaxedil to stabilize muscle contractions during surgical procedures. However, this usage was discontinued. It was shown, that gallamine caused tachycardia by depressing the vagus nerve and, occasionally, hypertension and increased cardiac output.

Dyphylline is 7-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-theophylline, a white, extremely bitter, amorphous powder that is freely soluble in water and soluble in alcohol. Dyphylline is stable in gastrointestinal fluids over a wide range of pH. Dyphylline is a xanthine derivative with pharmacologic actions similar to theophylline and other members of this class of drugs. Its primary action is that of bronchodilation, but it also exhibits peripheral vasodilatory and other smooth muscle relaxant activity to a lesser degree. The bronchodilatory action of dyphylline, as with other xanthines, is thought to be mediated through competitive inhibition of phosphodiesterase with a resulting increase in cyclic AMP producing relaxation of the bronchial smooth muscle. Dyphylline exerts its bronchodilatory effects directly and, unlike theophylline, is excreted unchanged by the kidneys without being metabolized by the liver. Because of this, dyphylline pharmacokinetics and plasma levels are not influenced by various factors that affect liver function and hepatic enzyme activity, such as smoking, age, congestive heart failure, or concomitant use of drugs which affect liver function.

Methantheline is a synthetic quarternary ammonium antimuscarinic used to relieve cramps or spasms of the stomach, intestines, and bladder. It is indicated for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease, irritable bowel syndrome, pancreatitis, gastritis, biliary dyskinesia, pylorosplasm, and reflex neurogenic bladder in children. It can be used together with antacids or other medicines, such as H2-receptor antagonists, in the treatment of peptic ulcer. Methantheline bromide (diethyl-methyl [2-(9 xanthenyl carbonyloxy) ethyl] ammonium bromide) is marketed to treat neurogenic bladder instability. In comparison with atropine, it influences the parasympathetic nervous transmission more by ganglionic rather than peripheral muscarinic receptor blockade. Methantheline inhibits the muscarinic actions of acetylcholine on structures innervated by postganglionic cholinergic nerves as well as on smooth muscles that respond to acetylcholine but lack cholinergic innervation. Clinical effects after single therapeutic doses of 50-100 mg last for about 6 hours which is longer than after atropine. The drug relaxes smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal and urogenital tract. Furthermore, it inhibits bronchial, salivary and sweat glands secretion, lowers the production of gastric juice and disturbs accommodation. A recent randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study using a new commercial preparation of methantheline bromide (Vagantin, Germany) demonstrated significant sweat reduction and was evaluated as is an effective and safe treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis.
