Cariprazine is an antipsychotic approved by FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. The drug has a unique clinical action which is explained by its ability to act on dopamine D3 receptors. Pharmacology studies revealed that cariprazine is a dual partial agonist of dopamine D2 and D3 receptors as well as serotonin 5HT1a, 2a and 2b receptors.

Ivabradine (CORLANOR®) is a hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel blocker that reduces the spontaneous pacemaker activity of the cardiac sinus node by selectively inhibiting the If-current, resulting in heart rate reduction at concentrations that do not affect other cardiac ionic currents. Specific heart-rate lowering with ivabradine (CORLANOR®) reduces myocardial oxygen demand, simultaneously improving oxygen supply. It has no negative inotropic or lusitropic effects, preserving ventricular contractility, and does not change any major electrophysiological parameters unrelated to heart rate.

Rolapitant (VARUBI) is neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist. Rolapitant does not have significant affinity for the NK2 or NK3 receptors. Drug is indicated in combination with other antiemetic agents in adults for the prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of emetogenic cancer chemotherapy, including, but not limited to, highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Most common adverse reactions are: neutropenia and hiccups at Cisplatin Based Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy; decreased appetite, neutropenia and dizziness at Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy and Combinations of Anthracycline and Cyclophosphamide. Inhibition of BCRP and P-gp by rolapitant can increase plasma concentrations of the concomitant drug and potential for adverse reactions. Strong CYP3A4 Inducers (e.g., rifampin) can significantly reduce plasma concentrations of rolapitant and decrease the efficacy of VARUBI.

Edoxaban (DU-176b, trade names Savaysa, Lixiana) is a selective factor Xa inhibitor reduces thrombin generation and thrombus formation and is an orally bioavailable anticoagulant drug. It was developed by Daiichi Sankyo to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism following 5-10 days of initial therapy with a parenteral anticoagulant.

Cangrelor is a P2Y12 inhibitor that has been approved as an antiplatelet drug. It is marketed in the US under the brand name Kengreal and in Europe as Kengrexal. Cangrelor is an intravenous, direct-acting reversible P2Y12 inhibitor for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Sacubitril is a prodrug neprilysin inhibitor used in combination with valsartan (sold under the brand name Entresto among others) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction. It was approved under the FDA's priority review process for use in heart failure on July 7, 2015. Sacubitril's active metabolite, LBQ657 inhibits neprilysin, a neutral endopeptidase that would typically cleave natiuretic peptides such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and c-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). ANP and BNP are released under atrial and ventricle stress, which activate downstream receptors leading to vasodilation, natriuresis and diuresis. Under normal conditions, neprilysin breaks down other vasodilating peptides and also vasoconstrictors such as angiotensin I and II, endothelin-1 and peptide amyloid beta-protein. Inhibition of neprilysin therefore leads to reduced breakdown and increased concentration of endogenous natriuretic peptides in addition to increased levels of vasoconstricting hormones such as angiotensin II.

Strong CYP3A4 Inducers (e.g., rifampin) can significantly reduce plasma concentrations of rolapitant and decrease the efficacy of VARUBI.

Avibactam (formerly NXL104, AVE1330A) is a synthetic non-β-lactam, covalent, slowly reversible β-lactamase inhibitor that inhibits the activities of Ambler class A and C β-lactamases and some Ambler class D enzymes. The combination of ceftazidime with avibactam exhibited broad-spectrum activity against Ambler class A- and class C-producing Enterobacteriaceae. AVYCAZ is a combination of ceftazidime, a cephalosporin, and avibactam indicated for the treatment of patients with the following infections caused by designated susceptible microorganisms: Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections, used in combination with metronidazole and Complicated Urinary Tract Infections, including Pyelonephritis.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (INTRAROSA™, prasterone) is a major C19 steroid produced from cholesterol by the adrenal cortex. It is also produced in small quantities in the testis and the ovary. Dehydroepiandrosterone (INTRAROSA, prasterone) is structurally similar to, and is a precursor of, androstenedione, testosterone, estradiol, estrone and estrogen. It indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia, a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, due to menopause. The mechanism of action of dehydroepiandrosterone (INTRAROSA, prasterone) in postmenopausal women with vulvar and vaginal atrophy is not fully established.

Olaparib is an oral inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase enzymes, including PARP1, PARP2, and PARP3 which are involved in normal cellular homeostasis, such as DNA transcription, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair. Olaparib has shown activity in ovarian and breast tumors with known BRCA mutations and was the first FDA approved drug in this class. Lynparza (olaparib) is indicated for treatment of gBRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer. Its use together with other chemotherapy medicines can lead to increased effects on the blood resulting in reduction in the numbers of white blood cells and platelets, and anaemia.
