Closantel is a synthetic anti parasitic agent which is highly effective against adults and larvae (6 to weeks old) of liver flukes (Fasciola hepatica), and against several important gastrointestinal roundworms (e.g. Bunostomum, Haemonchus, Oesophagostomum, Ostertagia - Teladorsagia, Strongyloides, Trichostrongylus), as well as against screwworms (maggots of Cochliomyia spp and Chrysomya spp), sheep nasal bots (Oestrus ovis), and sheep keds (Melophagus ovinus). The molecular mode of action closantel is not completely elucidated, but closantel decouples the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, which leads to the inhibition of ATP synthesis, this seems to occur through suppression of the activity of succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase, two enzymes involved in this process. Finally this all cause the death of the parasite. Recently it has been discovered that closantel also inhibits chitinase in Onchocerca volvulus, a filarial nematode causing river blindness in humans. Chitinase is an enzyme involved in larval molting. Its inhibition interrupts their development to adult worms. This drug possesses some side effects: hyper acute anaphylactic reactions in cattle; hypersensitivity reactions; overdoses can cause reduced visibility or blindness, anorexia, lack of coordination and general weakness.

Nafomine is the muscle relaxant. It was tested on lower extremity spasms in spinal cord injuries.

Butinoline (also known as azulone) was used as an antispasmodic drug to treat gastritis.

Nifenalol is the beta-receptor antagonist. It has optical isomers. The racemic mixture and the levo-isomer are active in antagonizing beta-receptors, but the dextro-isomer is inactive. The levo-isomer seems to be about twice as active in blocking beta-receptors as the racemate. Nifenalol is virtually devoid of local anesthetic properties in contrast to procaine, propranolol, and butidrine. Nifenalol exacerbated the fighting behavior in male mice by foot-shock. Nifenalol has been studied in patients with coronary artery disease. It afforded the coronary patient good protection against angina and ischemic changes in the EKG. It was further noted that nifenalol had no antiarrhythmic action and that it was devoid of evident side effects. Nifenalol possessed weak action against tremorine and oxotremorine induced tremor.

Conessine is a plant steroid alkaloid that acts as a potent and specific antagonist of histamine H3 receptors. Conessine displayed high affinity at both rat and human H3 receptors (pKi = 7.61 and 8.27) and generally high selectivity against other sites, including histamine receptors H1, H2, and H4. Conessine was found to efficiently penetrate the CNS and reach very high brain concentrations. Although the very slow CNS clearance and strong binding to adrenergic receptors discouraged focus on conessine itself for further development, its potency and novel steroid-based skeleton motivated further chemical investigation. Modification based on introducing diversity at the 3-nitrogen position generated a new series of H3 antagonists with higher in vitro potency, improved target selectivity, and more favorable drug-like properties. Conessine also has high affinity for the adrenergic receptors. Conessine has being shown to possess anti-malarial activity. In India conessine finds therapeutic use for treatment of dysentery and helminthic disorders.

Zaltidine (CP-57,361) is a guanidinothiazolylimidazole compound which is a highly specific H2-receptor antagonist. It potently inhibits gastric acid secretion. Zaltidine appears to be an effective treatment of duodenal ulcer in human studies. However, the incidence of hepatic damage (8%) seems higher than with commonly used H2-receptor antagonists.

Furegrelate (previously known as U-63557A), a selective orally active thromboxane synthase inhibitor, with potential for the treatment of various diseases including hypertension, thrombosis, and renal disorders, arrhythmias, but these studies were discontinued.

Talopram (Lu 3-010) is a selective inhibitor norepinephrine transporter belonging to the antidepressants of the thymoleptic group.

Levopropylcillin – is a penicillin derivative, L-enantiomer of antibiotic Propicillin. Levopropylcillin properties are similar to benzylpenicillin particularly used in streptococcal infections, not resistant to penicillinase. Levopropylcillin is acid resistant and can be used orally as the potassium salt.
