Levonadifloxacin is the S-(-) isomer of the benzoquinolizine fluoroquinolone nadifloxacin and is two- to four-fold more active than the racemic mixture. Levonadifloxacin is a potent antibacterial agent against Gram-positive bacteria especially against methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus. It also possesses potent bactericidal activity against other resistant variants like quinolone-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin and glycopeptide intermediate Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Intravenous dosage form developed to treat complicated skin and skin structure infections and has recently completed Phase III studies in India and Phase I studies in USA.

Corticosterone is an adrenocortical steroid, the major glucocorticoid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid. Corticosterone is of minor importance in humans but is known, that it has a profound effect on the structure and function of the hippocampus. Brain corticosterone may involve memory storage and emotional stress might cause increases in plasma corticosterone.

Levomoprolol (L-moprolol) is a beta-adrenergic blocker which was introduced as an oral medication for treatment of systemic hypertension. It was found to be effective in 2% eyedrops in reducing the intraocular pressure in glaucoma. Observations on glaucoma patients treated with the eyedrop for 1.5 to 2.5 years was without undesirable side effects. L-moprolol and dipivefrin had an equivalent effect in lowering the intraocular pressure. The association of the two drugs caused a further reduction of intraocular pressure.

Desomorphine is the common name for 4,5--epoxy-17- methylmorphinan-3-ol or dihydrodesoxymorphine-D. It is an opioid analogue and morphine derivative in which the 6-hydroxyl group and the double bond at carbons 7 and 8 of morphine are reduced. Desomorphine can cross the blood–brain barrier, binding to opioid receptors, similar to the pharmacokinetic distribution of all phenanthrene-structured alkaloids. Taking Desomorphine causes euphoria as well as sedative and analgesic relief. In addition to its faster onset than other powerful painkillers drugs such as morphine, desomorphine also initiates less sedative effects and seems to have favorable postoperative results, such as reduced need for catheterization, less dizziness, and decreased vomiting incidence. In comparison with Morphine, Desomorphine is faster reduced. It follows that it has to be taken it more frequently to get the same effects. Furthermore, it causes side effects such as respiratory and gastrointestinal problems and increased blood pressure. In addition, Desomorphine’s withdrawal symptoms are up to three times longer than Morphine’s. This leads to the conclusion that Desomorphine is more addictive. At present, desomorphine is classified as a narcotic drug (DEA code number 9055) in Schedule I of the U.S. Controlled Substances Act and is listed as a controlled substance under the international Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961.

Guamecycline, a tetracycline derivative was studied in patients with broncho-pulmonary diseases and for the treatment of acute pneumopathies. However, information about the current use of this compound is not available.

Rotraxate (also known as TEI 5103 or TG 51) is an anti-ulcerative agent. Experiments on rodents have shown that only the oral and gastric route of administration lead to the anti-ulcer effect. This drug increased gastric mucosal blood flow and possibly promoted the healing process of peptic ulcers. However, the further development of this drug was discontinued.

The nitrofuran derivative, nifurprazine, is a topical antibacterial agent used mainly for the treatment of animal diseases. It is a trypanocidal drug. Nifurprazine proved to be the most promising derivative since it was redox-cycled by both T. cruzi LipDH and TR and had pronounced antiparasitic effects in cultures of T. cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei.
