Sulazepam is a desmethylbenzodiazepine. It is the thioamide derivative of diazepam. It has sedative, muscle relaxant, hypnotic, anticonvulsant and anxiolytic properties like those of other benzodiazepines. Sulazepam in vivo in experimental animals undergoes enzymic desulfonation, demethylation, and [3C] hydroxylation, with the formation of basic metabolites: diazepam, desmethyldiazepam, and oxazepam.

Setipafant [BN 50727], triazolothienodiazepine, is a synthetic platelet activating factor antagonist that was under development with Beaufour-Ipsen for the treatment of diarrhoea, inflammatory bowel diseases, peptic ulcer and ulcerative colitis. The research has been discontinued.

Fandofloxacin is a difluoroquinolone derivative. This compound possesses an antibacterial spectrum comparable to those of rufloxacin and ciprofloxacin in vivo. Fandofloxacin showed a rapid and nearly complete absorption, and a long residence time in the body. Because it has been reported that the in vivo antibacterial activity of Fandofloxacin is comparable or superior to other quinolones, despite the fact that its in vitro activity is significantly lower than that of the other compounds, the pharmacokinetics of this antibiotic may be responsible, at least in part, for the enhanced in vivo antibacterial activity of Fandofloxacin. Fandofloxacin is an inhibitor of bacterial DNA gyrase. The toxicities and adverse effects of Fandofloxacin observed in various toxicology studies and clinical trials were less than those of commercially available drugs. It has been in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of Urinary tract infections. However, this research has been discontinued in 2008.

Dazmegrel [UK 38485] is a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor which was undergoing development in the treatment of thrombosis, ischaemic heart disease, arrhythmias and asthma. Pfizer were conducting phase II studies in Denmark and the UK, phase I studies in Germany and Italy, and preclinical studies in France. Later this research was discontinued.

Information related to the biological and/or pharmacological activity of glyoctamide is absence. Only one mention exists, describing, that this compound was developed as the antidiabetic agent by Hoechst Roussel Pharm. Inc
