Edivoxetine (LY-2216684) is a highly selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. It is under development as adjunctive or monotherapy of disorders believed to be associated with alterations in norepinephrine transmission within the central nervous system. Currently, edivoxetine is being studied in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Edivoxetine development in the treatment of major depressive disorder has been discontinued.

An orally bioavailable imidazopyridazine and inhibitor of Janus kinase 2 mutant V617F (JAK2V617F), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, gandotinib selectively and competitively inhibits the activation of JAK2V617F, which may result in the inhibition of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and the induction of apoptosis in JAK2V617F-expressing tumor cells. Gandotinib is in phase II clinical trials by Lilly for the treatment of myeloproliferative disorders.

Cyclophenazine is an antagonist of dopamine receptors, discovered by Eli Lilly. The drug is claimed to possess tranquilizing, anti-emetic action, and is able to potentiate the action of anticholinergic compounds in inhibiting the gastric secretion.

LY-3000328 is a Cathepsin S inhibitor with excellent in vitro potency and selectivity against other cysteine proteases. LY-3000328 is currently in clinical trials. Cathepsin S (Cat S) plays an important role in many pathological conditions, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Inhibition of Cathepsin S may provide a new treatment for AAA.

LY2811376 is a non-peptide inhibitor of BACE1 selective over BACE2. It showed robust central reduction of amyloid-β in humans.

Merestinib (LY2801653) is a small molecule that has been shown in vitro to be a reversible type II ATP-competitive slowoff inhibitor of MET tyrosine kinase with a dissociation constant (Ki) of 2 nM, a pharmacodynamic residence time (Koff) of 0.00132 min−1 and a half-life (t1/2) of 525 min. Preclinical testing also has shown merestinib to inhibit several other receptor tyrosine oncokinases including MST1R, FLT3, AXL, MERTK, TEK, ROS1, NTRK1/2/3, and DDR1/2 and the serine/threonine kinases MKNK1/2. Merestinib is being investigated in a phase II clinical trials in patients with biliary tract cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and solid tumours.

LY2300559 is a dual metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2) positive allosteric modulator and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLTR1) antagonist. Eli Lilly was developing LY2300559 for the prevention of migraine. LY2300559 development has been discontinued.

Taladegib (LY2940680) is an orally bioavailable small molecule antagonist of the Hedgehog (Hh)-ligand cell surface receptor smoothened (Smo) with potential antineoplastic activity. Taladegib inhibits signaling that is mediated by the Hh pathway protein Smo, which may result in a suppression of the Hh signaling pathway and may lead to the inhibition of the proliferation of tumor cells in which this pathway is abnormally activated. The Hh signaling pathway plays an important role in cellular growth, differentiation and repair; constitutive activation of this pathway is associated with uncontrolled cellular proliferation and has been observed in a variety of cancers. Taladegib has excellent pharmacokinetic properties in rodent and non-rodent species. Taladegib administrated orally treats Ptch+/- p53-/- transgenic mice which spontaneously develop medulloblastoma, produces remarkable efficacy and significantly improves their survival. Taladegib reveals rapid kinetics of anti-tumor activity through magnetic resonance imaging of these mice, and Taladegib induces Caspase-3 activity and reduces proliferation by immunohistochemistry analysis of medulloblastoma tumors. Taladegib inhibits Hh regulated gene expression in the subcutaneous xenograft tumor stroma and produces significant anti-tumor activity. Taladegib is currently in phase I clinical trials for ovarian cancer and solid tumours and in phase I/II for esophageal cancer. Ignyta exclusively licensed Taladegib from Eli Lilly and Company in November 2015.

LY2874455 is a pan-FGFR inhibitor that binds to the ATP-binding pocket of FGFR4 in a unique, chair-like conformation through a multitude of interactions. LY2874455 exhibits a potential clinical use for treating various forms of human malignancies.

LY2584702 is a potent, highly selective adenosine triphosphate (ATP) competitive inhibitor against p70 S6 kinase, a downstream component of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase signalling pathway which regulates cell proliferation and survival. LY2584702 underwent clinical trials against solid tumors both as a monotherapy and in combination with erlotinib or everolimus. No responses were observed for treatment as a single agent. LY2584702 was not well tolerated when administered with erlotinib, therefore this combination is not feasible. The combination with everolimus was better tolerated but yielded very limited clinical benefit.
