Distigmine is an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. Distigmine shows direct binding to muscarinic receptors in the rat bladder, and repeated oral administration of distigmine causes downregulation of muscarinic receptors in the rat bladder. The observed direct interaction of distigmine with the bladder muscarinic receptors may partly contribute to the therapeutic and/or side effects seen in the treatment of detrusor underactivity. It is usually used to treat myasthenia gravis, dysuria due to hypotonic bladder such as neurogenic bladder or after surgery. Common side effects are: nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, increased salivation, hypersecretion in respiratory tract, sweating, bradycardia, miosis, difficulty in breathing. Distigmine has a greater risk of causing cholinergic crisis because of accumulation of the drug being more likely than with neostigmine or pyridostigmine and so distigmine is rarely used as a treatment for myasthenia gravis, unlike pyridostigmine and neostigmine.

Temocapril is a prodrug-type angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor not approved for use in the United States but is approved in Japan and South Korea. Temocapril can also be used in hemodialysis patients without risk of serious accumulation.

Dibrompropamidine isetionate is an antiseptic. Ointment containing dibrompropamidine isetionate is used to treat minor eye or eyelid infections, such as conjunctivitis and blepharitis.

Thiamphenicol aminoacetate is an antibiotic. It is the methyl-sulfonyl analogue of chloramphenicol and has a similar spectrum of activity, but is 2.5 to 5 times as potent. It is used in many countries as a veterinary antibiotic, but is available in China, Morocco and Italy for use in humans. Thiamphenicol aminoacetate is reported as an ingredient of Urfamycin in Ecuador, Indonesia, Italy, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Japan. It is indicated for the treatment of GUT, hepatobiliary, respiratory tract, enteric tract infections, typhoid, paratyphoid fever and salmonellosis, brucellosis.

Clevudine (also known as L-FMAU) is a nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, which inhibits the DNA synthesis activity of the hepatitis B virus polymerase. The drug was approved in Korea and Philippines and is being marketed under the names Levovir and Revovir. The drug is indicated in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Upon administration, clevudine is metabolized to the active metabolite, clevudine triphosphate, which is responsible for the inhibition of viral polymerase.

Vindesine (desacetyl vinblastine amide sulfate) is a synthetic derivative of vinblastine. Vindesine acts by causing the arrest of cells in metaphase mitosis through its inhibition tubulin mitotic funcitoning. Vindesine is an anti-neoplastic drug for intravenous use which can be used alone or in combination with other oncolytic drugs. Information available at present suggests that Eldisine as a single agent may be useful for the treatment of: acute lymphoblastic leukaemia of childhood resistant to other drugs; blastic crises of chronic myeloid leukaemia; malignant melanoma unresponsive to other forms of therapy; advanced carcinoma of the breast, unresponsive to appropriate endocrine surgery and/or hormonal therapy. Adverse effects associated with the use of vindesine include cellulitis and phlebitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, chills, and fever. It may increase the neuropathy associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome. Vindesine may interact with mitomycin-C (brand name Mutamycin), causing acute bronchospasm within minutes or hours following administration. Phenytoin (brand name Dilantin) may also interact with vindesine, leading to decreased serum levels of phenytoin.

17α-Hydroxyprogesterone (17α-OHP), or hydroxyprogesterone (OHP), also known as 17α-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione is used under the brand name Gestageno, and has been marketed for clinical use in Argentina. It was indicated for female infertility, hypertrichosis, menstrual disorders, premature labour, threatened or recurrent miscarriage. It is used to properly regulate the menstrual cycle and treat unusual stopping of the menstrual periods (amenorrhea). To help a pregnancy occur during egg donor or infertility procedures in women who do not produce enough progesterone. To prevent estrogen from thickening the lining of the uterus (endometrial hyperplasia) in women around menopause who are being treated with estrogen for ovarian hormone therapy (OHT). To treat a condition called endometriosis, to help prevent endometrial hyperplasia, or to treat unusual and heavy bleeding of the uterus (dysfunctional uterine bleeding) by starting or stopping the menstrual cycle. 17α-OHP is an agonist of the progesterone receptor (PR) similarly to progesterone. In addition, it is an antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) as well as a partial agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), albeit with very low potency (EC50 >100-fold less relative to cortisol) at the latter site, also similarly to progesterone.

PHENOPERIDINE is an opioid analgesic partly metabolized to meperidine in the liver. It is derived from pethidine by replacing the N methyl by a phenyl propanol chain. It is reputed to be a typical morphine-like analgesic characterized by its high potency, rapid onset of action, the intensity of its peak effect and the short duration of its pharmacological effects. It is used in general anesthesia.

Cefsulodin is a third-generation of cephalosporin antibiotic with a narrow spectrum of activity. It has a specific activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cefsulodin’s targets are bacterial penicillin binding proteins. Drug is indicated for the treatment of infections of lower respiratory tract, skin and skin structures, urinary tract, bone and joint; treatment of gynecological infections; treatment of intra-abdominal infections; treatment of septicemia and CNS infections including meningitis caused by susceptible strains of specific microorganisms. Cefsulodin appears to be well tolerated and relatively free of any significant toxicity except for nausea and vomiting.

Iofetamine is a diagnostic compound that was used for brain-imaging. Iofetamine may cause different adverse reactions such as increase in systolic blood pressure by about 10 mm Hg, dizziness, hearing loss and allergy.
