Guanoclor is an anti-hypertensive agent developed by Pfizer Ltd. (U.K.). It seems to be effective in various types of hypertension (unknown aetiology, renal, and malignant). It affects both systolic blood-pressure and diastolic blood-pressure. It is an adrenergic neurone-blocking agent, which also interferes with noradrenaline synthesis by inhibition of the enzyme dopamine beta-hydroxylase. Clinical use of the compound was first reported by Lawrie et al. (1964), who achieved satisfactory blood-pressure control in 60% of their cases with guanoclor alone, and in a further 18% with the addition of a thiazide diuretic. They also noted a significant reduction in urinary noradrenaline levels during guanoclor administration. Guanochlor has an affinity for the Na+/H+ exchanger ranging between 0.5 uM and 6 uM in different systems and is more potent than amiloride in all systems studied. It is suggested that guanochlor recognizes a binding site on the Na+/H+ exchanger that is distinct from the amiloride binding site.
Sultamicillin is the mutual prodrug of sulbactam and ampicillin. It is the tosylate salt of the double ester of sulbactam plus ampicillin. Sulbactam is a semisynthetic ß-lactamase inhibitor which, in combination with ampicillin, extends the antibacterial activity of the latter to include some ß-lactamase-producing strains of bacteria that would otherwise be resistant. The combination of sulbactam plus ampicillin for parenteral use has previously been shown to be clinically and bacteriologically effective in a variety of infections. Sultamicillin is marketed under a trade name Unasyn among others.
Tenidap ([Z]-5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-3-[hydroxy-2-thienylmethylene]-2-oxo-1H-indole-1-carboxamide) is an oxindole derivative, a COX/5-LOX inhibitor and cytokine-modulating anti-inflammatory drug candidate that was under development by Pfizer as a promising potential treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Tenidap shows potent inhibition of cyclooxygenase in vitro, that is of several magnitudes greater than 5-lipoxygenase inhibition. Lipoxygenase inhibition, however, has been difficult to document in vivo because Tenidap is highly protein bound and free drug concentrations are below those necessary for 5-lipoxygenase inhibition. However, several in-vitro activities distinguish Tenidap from conventional cyclooxygenase inhibitors. As shown with stimulated human neutrophils, tenidap inhibits activation of collagenase, lysosomal enzyme secretion, and superoxide generation, as well as aggregation and adhesion to endothelium. Furthermore, unlike Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), it lowers circulating C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations by a magnitude equivalent to hydroxychloroquine and auranofin. This result suggests an effect on the synthesis and/or release of the cytokines known to induce the acute-phase protein response-namely, IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-alpha. Tenidap, like existing second-line drugs, lowers serum IL-6 concentrations, a property not shared by NSAIDs The cytokine inhibitory effect also includes reduced in-vitro concentrations of TNF-alpha and IL-1 from both RA synovium and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. There is no immunosuppressive effect of Tenidap in either animal or clinical studies. In clinical studies. The comparisons between tenidap and other second-line agents show that Tenidap produced a faster reduction in CRP than Auranofin. The rate of withdrawal because of inefficacy was similar (18-20%) in Auranofin and Tenidap groups. The quality of life using the arthritis impact measurement scales has also been assessed Scores were better with tenidap than with NSAID monotherapy, but equivalent to the second line plus NSAID combinations. Tenidap is registered in the United States, Netherlands, and Italy but is not marketed because marketing approval was rejected by the FDA in 1996 due to liver and kidney toxicity, which was attributed to metabolites of the drug with a thiophene moiety that caused oxidative damage.

Boldenone (INN, BAN), also known as Δ1-testosterone, 1-dihydrotestosterone, or androsta-1,4-dien-3-one-17β-ol (train name Equipoise) is a long-acting injectable anabolic agent for horses, supplied in a vial providing 50 mg boldenone undecylenate per mL in sesame oil with 3% (w/v) benzyl alcohol as a preservative. The activity of boldenone is mainly anabolic, with a low androgenic potency. Boldenone will increase nitrogen retention, protein synthesis increases appetite and stimulates the release of erythropoietin in the kidneys. Boldenone was synthesized in an attempt to create a long-acting injectable methandrostenolone (Dianabol), for androgen deficiency disorders. Boldenone acts similar to methandrostenolone with fewer adverse androgenic effects. Although commonly compared to nandrolone, boldenone lacks progesterone receptor interaction and all the associated progestogenic side effects. Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate Injection) is recommended as an aid for treating debilitated horses when an improvement in weight, haircoat or general physical condition is desired. Debilitation often follows disease or may occur following overwork and overexertion. Boldenone improves the general state of debilitated horses, thus aiding in correcting weight losses and improving appetite. It is not a substitute for a well-balanced diet. Optimal results can be expected only when good management and feeding practices are utilized. Boldenone should be considered only as adjunctive therapy to other specific and supportive therapy for diseases, surgical cases, and traumatic injuries.

Oxantel is a narrow-spectrum anthelmintic effective against whipworms in dogs and cats. It is ineffective against other roundworms, flukes, tapeworms or external parasites. Oxantel acts on the nervous system of the worms as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. Oxantel, a cholinergic anthelmintic and fumarate reductase inhibitor, significantly inhibited biofilm formation by P. gingivalis and disrupted established biofilms at concentrations below its MIC against planktonic cells. Oxantel was more effective against P. gingivalis in biofilm than metronidazole, a commonly used antibiotic for periodontitis. When oxantel was administrated to human beings for the treatment of trichuriasis, no drug reaction or side effects were reported, and the results of hematologic, biochemical and urinary examinations didn’t reveal any significant drug-related changes.

Trimazosin was originated by Pfizer and was licensed to Bristol-Myers Squibb worldwide except for Canada, Mexico and the USA. Trimazosin is a quinazoline antihypertensive agent structurally related to the selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor blocker prazosin. Trimazosin is an alpha adrenergic receptor antagonist. Compared with prazosin, trimazosin was a less potent but more efficacious hypotensive agent. At doses which caused equal or even greater hypotensive effects than those caused by prazosin, trimazosin caused less inhibition of pressor responses to phenylephrine. When administered during a maximum hypotensive response to prazosin, trimazosin caused an additional fall in pressure. Trimazosin is an effective antihypertensive when given by itself or in combination with a diuretic. Its ability to induce vasodilation without concomitant sodium retention or stimulation of the renin axis may be an important factor in its effectiveness. Trimazosin has the potential to cause sustained improvement in left ventricular function, both at rest and during exercise, in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF).
