Rilmenidine (brand names Albarel, Hyperium, Iterium and Tenaxum) is an imidazoline derivative used for the treatment of hypertension. Rilmenidine, an oxazoline compound with antihypertensive properties, acts on both medullary and peripheral vasomotor structures. Rilmenidine shows greater selectivity for imidazoline receptors than for cerebral alpha2-adrenergic receptors, distinguishing it from reference alpha2-agonists. Rilmenidine is as effective in monotherapy as all other first line classes of drugs, including diuretics, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and calcium antagonists. It is well tolerated and can be taken in combination for greater efficacy. Sedation and dry mouth are not prominent side effects and withdrawal hypertension is not seen when treatment is stopped abruptly. In addition to a reduction in blood pressure, Rilmenidine has been shown to improve glucose tolerance, lipid risk factors, and insulin sensitivity.

Tetrydamine is a member of the indazol class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. Tetrydamine lavage reduced or eliminated all inflammation symptoms like burning, leucorrhea, etc. and resulted very well tolerated in vulvovaginitis, symptomatic bacterial vaginosis and cervicitis treatment.

Metyridine has been shown to possess anthelmintic activity, particularly for the nematodes of the alimentary canal. Methyridine is able to pass freely through most of the barriers, which maintain body integrity. It produces neuromuscular block of the decamethonium type. There appears to be sufficient difference between the sensitivity of nematode and vertebrate nervous systems to this drug to allow a wide safety margin for its use in animals. Signs of toxicity, principally dullness and lassitude, may be produced by overdosage of the drug. When given subcutaneously methyridine may cause local pain, and swelling.

Hydroxynaphthoic acid is a salt part of discontinued drug Bephenium hydroxynaphthoate. It was also shown to have anti-diabetic effect in mice, acting as a chemical chaperone and reducing ER stress.

Gilutensin is a drug that was developed for the treatment of hypotensive circulatory disorders. As there is no information available on the drug since 1970, its development is supposed to be terminated in early phase.

Etafenone is an antiarrhythmic and coronary vasodilator drug. Etafenone exerts negative inotropic action on myocardium. It is able to block calcium channels. As a coronary vasodilator which produces a decrease in the heart rate and myocardial oxygen consumption, etafenone has been used in the therapy of ischemic heart disease.

Bucindolol is a third-generation, non-selective β-adrenergic receptor blocker, that acts on both β-1 and β-2 receptors. Bucindolol’s additional α-1 antagonistic activity contributes to its mild vasodilator effect. It was rejected by the FDA for the heart failure, because of the unreviewed submissions deal with comparative effectiveness, clinical pharmacology, some aspects of pharmacogenetic data, and toxicology/metabolism. In addition, bucindolol is in the phase II of clinical trial for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.

Chlormidazole was the first azole introduced the treatment of topical mycosis. It demonstrated inhibitory activity against many fungi and some gram-positive cocci. It is used for the treatment of fungal and bacterial infections of nails and skin, including interdigital and periungual mycoses. Possible side effects are: local skin irritation, burning, itching.

Vincamine is the major alkaloid of Vinca minor. Although vincamine has been used therapeutically for almost three decades, the exact mechanisms of action and its effects are still unknown. Vincamine is a peripheral vasodilator that increases blood flow to the brain. Vincamine is beneficial to the nervous system's cells feeding and protecting processes and is utilized as an adjuvant in case of cerebrovascular insufficiency, age-related psycho-behavioral disorders, post concussion syndrome in head trauma, in case of post-stroke sequels. Vincamine may be used as a dietary nootropic supplement.

Trichlormethine is a nitrogen mustard vesicant that has application in chemical warfare and has been used as a cytostatic alkylating agent in leukemia and lymphoma therapy. Trichlormethine was tested for carcinogenicity by subcutaneous injection in mice and rats. The study in mice was inadequate for evaluation. In rats, trichlormethine induced a high incidence of sarcomas (mostly spindle-cell type) in animals of each sex at the site of subcutaneous injection, as well as a few intestinal adenocarcinomas; neither tumor type was seen in controls. Trichlormethine caused vomiting, anorexia and blood-containing feces in dogs a few hours after a single intravenous injection of 1 mg/kg BW. Decreased peripheral lymphocyte counts were observed in rabbits injected intravenously and in mice injected subcutaneously with trichlormethine. Trichlormethine was tested for carcinogenicity by subcutaneous injection in mice and rats. ln rats, trichlormethine induced a high incidence of sarcomas (mostly spindle-cell type) in animals of each sex at the site of subcutaneous injection, as well as a few intestinal adenocarcinomas; neither tumor type was seen in controls. Trichlormethine is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
