Omtriptolide (previously known as PG490-88 or F60008), an immunosuppressant that has been shown to be the safe and potent antitumor agent and it has been approved entry into Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of prostate cancer in the USA. In addition, the drug is participating in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of myeloid leukemia. Experiments on animals have shown omtriptolide was highly effective in the prevention of murine graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The immunosuppressive effect of the drug was mediated by inhibition of alloreactive T cell expansion through interleukin-2 production. However, this study was discontinued. Recently published article has shown omtriptolide possesses the potential as a prophylactic agent to prevent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced lung injury.

Raxatrigine also known as GSK1014802 and CNV-1014802, is a novel analgesic under development by Convergence Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of lumbosacral radiculopathy (sciatica) and trigeminal neuralgia (TGN). It is a novel state dependent small molecule sodium channel blocker that preferentially inhibits the Nav 1.7 ion channel, a therapeutic target implicated by genetics in human pain conditions. Raxatrigine is thought to penetrate the central nervous system and block Nav channels in a novel manner. CNV1014802 was granted orphan drug designation in 2013 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

Nastorazepide (Z-360) is a selective, orally available, gastrin/cholecystokinin 2 (CCK-2) receptor antagonist with potential antineoplastic activity. Z-360 binds to the gastrin/CCK-2 receptor, thereby preventing receptor activation by gastrin, a peptide hormone frequently associated with the proliferation of gastrointestinal and pancreatic tumor cells. It is currently under development as a therapeutic drug for pancreatic cancer, gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcers. The most commonly reported adverse events were nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and fatigue.

Filgotinib (GLPG0634) is a highly selective JAK1 inhibitor. GLPG0634 is a promising drug candidate for the future treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. It is in phase III clinical trials (initiated mid-2016) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Most common adverse events observed were infections, gastrointestinal disorders and nervous system disorders.

The BET-bromodomain inhibitor OTX015 (MK-8628) was initially developed by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, but then was licensed by OncoEthix, privately held biotechnology company. OTX015 is a selective bromodomains: BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 inhibitor and inhibits their binding to AcH4. Bromodomains have an important role in the targeting of chromatin-modifying enzymes to specific sites, including methyltransferases, HATs and transcription factors and regulate diverse biological processes from cell proliferation and differentiation to energy homeostasis and neurological processes. OTX015 has potent antiproliferative activity accompanied by c-MYC down-regulation in several tumor types, and has demonstrated synergism with the mTOR inhibitor everolimus in different models. Oral administration of OTX-015 markedly inhibited tumor growth and reduced tumor volume. OTX015 is currently in Phase 1b studies for the treatment of hematological malignancies and advanced solid tumors such as Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Castrate-resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma. In addition, OTX015 was in phase II for the treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme, but there were not detected clinical activity of the drug in the treatment populations and trial was closed.
