BGT 226 is an orally available, small molecule, the dual inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and phosphatidylinositol 3'kinase (PI3K), developed by Novartis for the treatment of solid tumors, including advanced breast cancer. A phase I/II trial was completed in the US, Canada, and Spain, and a phase I trial was completed in Japan. However, development appears to have been discontinued.

LCQ908 (Pradigastat) is a diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT-1) inhibitor. DGAT-1 is one of the two DGAT enzymes that catalyse the formation of triglycerides from diacylglycerol and acyl- coenzyme A. DGAT-1 catalyses the final committed step in processing dietary fatty acids into triglycerides carried on chylomicrons for transport around the body. Pradigastat may decrease the level of triglycerides in the blood and is intended for the first line treatment of FCS. It is administered orally at 10-40mg daily in addition to a low fat diet. Pradigastat is also in phase II clinical trials for type 2 diabetes and severe hypertriglyceridaemia (familial hyperchylomicronaemia phenotypes I and V). Pradigastat is a designated orphan drug in the EU. In a phase III clinical trial.

Buparlisib (NVP-BKM12), a dimorpholino pyrimidine derivative, is a selective pan class I phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) inhibitor for treating cancer. It penetrates the blood-brain barrier and has a potential as a glioma treatment. NVP-BKM120 inhibits PI3K activity by binding to the ATP binding cleft of this enzymes and was tested against class I PI3K and other kinases using an ATP depletion (Kinase-Glo) assay. The compound was shown to be active against P110 α, β, γ and δ. The inhibition of the PI3K signaling pathways leads to different forms of cell death on the basis of p53 statuses. Buparlisib demonstrated its activity in human glioblastoma (GBM) cells in vitro and in vivo and is in clinical trials for solid tumors including GBM.

Isamoltan (CGP 361A) is a β-adrenoceptor and serotonin 1B receptor antagonist. Isamoltane has reported activity as an anxiolytic in man. Isamoltan had been in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of anxiety. However, this research has been discontinued.

Dovitinib is an orally active small molecule that exhibits potent inhibitory activity against multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) involved in tumor growth and angiogenesis. Dovitinib strongly binds to fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) and inhibits its phosphorylation, which may result in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and the induction of tumor cell death. In addition, this agent may inhibit other members of the RTK superfamily, including the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor; fibroblast growth factor receptor 1; platelet-derived growth factor receptor type 3; FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3; stem cell factor receptor (c-KIT); and colony-stimulating factor receptor 1; this may result in an additional reduction in cellular proliferation and angiogenesis, and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. There are several ongoing Phase I/III clinical trials for dovitinib.

Vatalanib a potent oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor with a selective range of molecular targets, has been extensively investigated and has shown promising results in patients with solid tumors in early trials. Vatalanib selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase domains of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinases (important enzymes in the formation of new blood vessels that contribute to tumor growth and metastasis), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, and c-KIT. The adverse effects of vatalanib appear similar to those of other VEGF inhibitors. In the CONFIRM trials, the most common side effects were high blood pressure, gastrointestinal upset (diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting), fatigue, and dizziness.

Batelapine (or CGS 13429), an antipsychotic drug, that was undergoing preclinical development, but the further studied were discontinued

Omigapil (CGP 3466 or TCH346) is a structurally related analog of R-(-)-deprenyl that exhibits virtually no monoamine oxidase type B inhibiting activity but is neuroprotective in the picomolar concentration range. It binds to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and at subnanomolar concentrations prevent the S-nitrosylation of GAPDH, inhibit GAPDH-Siah binding and prevent the nuclear translocation of GAPDH. Omigapil demonstrated promising potential in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and motoneuron disease in animal models, however, it did not show efficacy in clinical trials. Omigapil is in development for the treatment of congenital muscular dystrophy.

IRALUKAST, a leukotriene D4 analog, has potent peptido-leukotriene antagonist activity. It was under clinical development and in phase II clinical trials as a potential treatment for asthma.

Dactolisib is a dual inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (P13K) and the downstream mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) by binding to the ATP-binding cleft of these enzymes (inhibitor of PI3K/Akt/mTOR cascade). It is being investigated as a possible anti-cancer cancer agent and drug against Influenza virus infections. Frequently reported adverse events included nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fatigue/asthenia, anaemia, and anorexia.
