DOV 216,303 [(+/-)-1-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-3-azabicyclo-[3.1.0] hexane hydrochloride] is the prototype of a class of compounds referred to as "triple" reuptake inhibitors. DOV 216,303 were licensed from Wyeth in 1998. This compound inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5-HT), and dopamine (DA), the three neurotransmitters most closely linked to major depressive disorder. In August 2004, DOV entered into a development and commercialization partnership for the triple reuptake inhibitors (DOV 21,947 and DOV 216,303) with Merck for depression.

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.

Brivanib is a pyrrolotriazine-based compound and an inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) with potential antineoplastic activity. It specifically targets and strongly binds to human VEGFR-2, a tyrosine kinase receptor and pro-angiogenic growth factor expressed almost exclusively on vascular endothelial cells. Blockade of VEGFR-2 by this agent may lead to an inhibition of VEGF-stimulated endothelial cell migration and proliferation, thereby inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. Brivanib has a moderate potency compared to VEGFR-2 against VEGFR-1 and FGFR-1 as well. Brivanib is suggested to be efficient in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As first-line and as second-line therapy brivanib demonstrated promising antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with advanced, unresectable HCC in phase II clinical trials. On 3 march 2011, orphan designation was granted by the European Commission to Bristol-Myers Squibb for brivanib alaninate for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.[

Ravuconazole is a triazole with antifungal properties that inhibits cytochrome P450 sterol 14a-demethylase, an enzyme involved in sterol synthesis, resulting in lysis of the fungal cell wall and fungal cell death. It was investigated for the treatment of aspergillosis, candidiasis, and onychomycosis, but these studies were discontinued. Ravuconazole is now in phase II clinical trials to investigate efficacy in preventing fungal infections in patients undergoing chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.

Zosuquidar (LY-335979) is an experimental antineoplastic drug. It is is a potent modulator of P-glycoprotein-mediated multi-drug resistance with Ki of 60 nM. Zosuqidar was initially characterized by Syntex Corporation, which was acquired by Roche in 1990. Roche licensed the drug to Eli Lilly in 1997. It was granted orphan drug status by the FDA in 2006 for AML. Zosuquidar Trihydrochloride had been in phase III clinical trials by Kanisa Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia. However, this research has been discontinued.

Omidenepag isopropyl, a prodrug, is hydrolyzed in the eye to the active form (Omidenepag) which functions as a selective, nonprostaglandin, prostanoid EP2 agonist, has been developed by Ube Industries and Santen Pharmaceutical as an ophthalmic solution (EYBELIS®) for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Omidenepag isopropyl increases the outfow of aqueous humor via both the uveoscleral outfow and the trabecular outfow pathways, resulting in potent and stable reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP). In September 2018, omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution 0.002% was approved in Japan for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. On September 22, 2022, the FDA approved Santen’s Omlonti (omidenepag isopropyl), for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Mobocertinib (EXKIVITY™) is a first-in-class EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of EGFR exon 20 insertion (EGFRex20ins) -positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Mobocertinib is a kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) that irreversibly binds to and inhibits EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations at lower concentrations than wild type (WT) EGFR. Two pharmacologically-active metabolites (AP32960 and AP32914) with similar inhibitory profiles to mobocertinib have been identified in the plasma after oral administration of mobocertinib. In vitro, mobocertinib also inhibited the activity of other EGFR family members (HER2 and HER4) and one additional kinase (BLK) at clinically relevant concentrations (IC50 values <2 nM). Based on efficacy in patients whose disease had progressed on or after platinum-based therapy in a phase I/II trial, mobocertinib was recently granted accelerated approval in the USA in this indication. The drug is also being assessed for marketing approval in various other countries and territories including the EU and China.

Umbralisib (Ukoniq, TG Therapeutics) is an orally available PI3K delta inhibitor, targeting the delta isoform with nanomolar potency and several fold selectivity over the alpha, beta, and gamma isoforms of PI3K. The delta isoform of PI3K is strongly expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin and is believed to be important in the proliferation and survival of B-cell lymphocytes. On February 5, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to umbralisib for the following indications: adult patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) who have received at least one prior anti-CD20-based regimen; adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) who have received at least three prior lines of systemic therapy. However, on June 1, 2022, the FDA withdrew its approval for the cancer medicine Ukoniq due to safety concerns.

Rifamycin SV is a derivative of antibiotic rifamycin B (the natural fermentation product of S. mediterranei broths). The primary target of rifampicin on whole bacteria is the synthesis of RNA. Rifamycin belongs to the ansamycin class of antibacterial drugs and acts by inhibiting the beta subunit of the bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, blocking one of the steps in DNA transcription. This results in inhibition of bacterial synthesis and consequently growth of bacteria. Rifampicin exhibits bactericidal activity on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and on mycobacteria. Rifamycin SV MMX® (AEMCOLO), a non-absorbable rifamycin antibiotic formulated using the multi-matrix system, was designed to exhibit its pharmacological action on the distal small intestine and colon. AEMCOLO is indicated for the treatment of travelers’ diarrhea (TD) caused by non-invasive strains of Escherichia coli in adults.

Betrixaban is an anticoagulant drug which acts as a direct factor Xa inhibitor. Betrixaban is now being developed by Portola Pharmaceuticals. Oral, once-daily Factor Xa inhibitor anticoagulant that directly inhibits the activity of Factor Xa, an important validated target in the blood coagulation pathway, to prevent life-threatening thrombosis. U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track designation to betrixaban for extended-duration prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE; blood clots) in acute medically ill patients (i.e., those who are hospitalized for serious medical conditions, such as heart failure, stroke, infection and pulmonary disease). Has the potential to become the first oral Factor Xa inhibitor anticoagulant approved for hospital-to-home prevention of VTE in acute medically ill patients.
