Enbucrilate (also known as n-butyl-cyanoacrylate, n-BCA) is an adhesive substance, which is used under different trade names (Histoacryl, 3M Liquid Bandage, etc) as an OTC medication for strong and secure wound closure. In 2000 FDA approved enbucrilate (TRUFILL n-BCA Liquid Embolic System) for presurgical embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations.

Butamirate (or brospamin) is a medicine used for the symptomatic treatment of non-productive (dry) cough. Butamirate is centrally acting cough suppressant which is neither chemically nor pharmacologically related to opium alkaloids. In addition to its antitussive effect, Butamirate also decreases the airway resistance. Butamirate is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration. Maximum concentration is reached within 9 hours with sustain release tablet. Butamirate is extremely protein bound and Plasma elimination half-life is about 13 hours. Butamirate is indicated in acute cough of any etiology, pre and post operative cough sedation for surgical procedure and bronchoscopy. Butamirate is well tolerated. In rare cases, skin rash, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness have been reported.They disappear after reduction of the dosage or discontinuation of the drug.

Bunazosin (E-643) is a quinazoline derivative with a1-adrenoceptor blocking activity. It has been clinically used both as a systemic antihypertensive as well as an ocular hypotensive drug. The major adverse effect associated with the use of bunazosin is orthostatic hypotension or its consequences (e.g. dizziness). Others adverse effects include headache, sweating, nausea, dry mouth, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation. The effects of Bunazosin may be enhanced by diuretics and other antihypertensive agents and decreased by Rifampicin.

Dichlorvos is a synthetic organic chemical used as an insecticide. Dichlorvos does not occur naturally in the environment, but is manufactured by industry. Dichlorvos is sold under many trade names including Vapona®, Atgard®, Nuvan®, and Task®. It is also used as an insecticide for slow release on pest-strips for pest control in homes.  Dichlorvos is used as an anthelmintic (worming agent) for dogs, swine, and horses, as a botacide (agent that kills fly larvae) for horses, and in flea collars for dogs. In 1995, EPA proposed cancellation of dichlorvos for all home uses, and for many commercial and industrial uses.

Nordazepam (INN; marketed under brand names Nordaz, Stilny, Madar, Vegesan, and Calmday) is a 1,4-benzodiazepine derivative with amnesic, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, and sedative properties. Nordazepam is an active metabolite of diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, clorazepate, prazepam, pinazepam, and medazepam, used primarily in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Nordazepam is a partial agonist at the GABAA receptor, which makes it less potent than other benzodiazepines, particularly in its amnesic and muscle-relaxing effects. Nordazepam’s elimination half-life is between 36 and 200 hours, with wide variation among individuals; factors such as age and gender are known to impact it. The variation of reported half-life are attributed to differences in nordazepam metabolism and that of its metabolites as nordazepam is hydroxylated to active metabolites such as oxazepam, before finally being glucuronidated and excreted in the urine. Common side effects of nordazepam include somnolence, which is more common in elderly patients and/or people on high-dose regimens. Hypotonia, which is much less common, is also associated with high doses and/or old age.

Buparvaquone is a second-generation hydroxynaphtaquinone with novel features that make it an effective compound for the therapy and prophylaxis of all forms of theileriosis. It has shown promising activities against Leishmania spp. and Neospora caninum infection. In combination with arteether it is effective against Babesia equi. Buparvaquone directly inhibits the respiration of Theileria parasites. Due to the inhibiting effects of theileriosis on the immune system, vaccination should be delayed until the animal has recovered from theileriosis. Localised, painless, oedematous swelling may occasionally be seen at the injection site.

Sivelestat is a neutrophil elastase inhibitor approved in Japan and the Republic of Korea for acute lung injury, including acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Sivelestat is marketed as Elaspol in Japan. Sivelestat competitively inhibited human neutrophil elastase (IC50 = 0.044 uM, Ki = 0.2 uM). It also inhibited leukocyte elastase obtained from rabbit, rat, hamster and mouse.

Temocillin was marketed by Beecham Pharmaceuticals in the UK in the 1980s but achieved little commercial success and was withdrawn, though it remained available via the manufacturer’s medical department. Presently licensed to Eumedica, temocillin is being re-launched in the UK and Belgium for treating UTI, sepsis, and respiratory infections by ESBL (Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases) and AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae. It acts by inhibiting the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls. It irreversibly binds to the active site of specific transpeptidases and carboxypeptidases known as Penicillin Binding Proteins (PBP), preventing peptidoglycan production.

Levomethadyl acetate (LAAM) is a synthetic opioid agonist with actions qualitatively similar to morphine (a prototypic mu agonist) and affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and smooth muscle. Principal actions include analgesia and sedation. Tolerance to these effects develops with repeated use. An abstinence syndrome generally occurs upon cessation of chronic administration similar to that observed with other opiates, but with slower onset, more prolonged course, and less severe symptoms. LAAM exerts its clinical effects in the treatment of opiate abuse through two mechanisms. First, LAAM cross-substitutes for opiates of the morphinetype, suppressing symptoms of withdrawal in opiate-dependent individuals. Second, chronic oral administration of LAAM can produce sufficient tolerance to block the subjective “high” of usual doses of parenterally administered opiates. Since the introduction of levomethadyl in 1995, the manufacturer has received increasing reports of severe cardiac-related adverse events, including QT interval prolongation, Torsades de Pointes and cardiac arrest. Other cardiac-related adverse events have also been reported, including arrhythmias, syncope, and angina. These events led to the removal of levomethadyl from the European market in March 2001. A very small number of patients may benefit from levomethadyl, but the risk of continued distribution and use no longer outweighs the overall benefits.

Lenperone (AHR 2277), or 4’-fluoro-4 [4-(p-fluorobenzoyl) piperidino] butyrophenone hydrochloride, is an antipsychotic compound which has been shown in preliminary experiments to possess those features essential for neuroleptic activity. Dopamine antagonist.
