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.

Maroxepin is a tetracyclic compound antagonizing activity of dopamine receptors. Maroxepin has a potent central nervous action and a strong sedative potential. Maroxepin exerts both antipsychotic and antidepressant properties.

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.

Axitirome (also known as CGS 26214), a thyroid hormone receptor β selective agonist and an LDL receptor function stimulant, has a cholesterol-lowering activity. This drug was in phase I clinical trials for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, but studies were discontinued because of the unexpected side effects.

Midafotel (CPPene; SDZ EAA 494) is a selective competitive antagonist at the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of glutamate receptor. It was originally designed as a potential therapy for excitotoxicity, epilepsy or neuropathic pain. Midafotel had been in phase III clinical trials by Novartis for the treatment of brain injury. However, this research has been discontinued.

Oxindanac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and is a weak cyclooxygenase inhibitor possessed antipyretic activity. This drug is used as a veterinary inflammatory drug. In addition, oxindanac was studied in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of rheumatic disorders. However, this study was discontinued.

Pyroxamide is a potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Pyroxamide induced terminal differentiation in murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells and inhibited the growth by cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells. An accumulation of acetylated histones and increased levels of p21/WAF1 expression were detected in cancer cells and in prostate xenografts treated with Pyroxamide.

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.

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.

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.
