Methaqualone is a depressant that modulates the activity of the GABA receptors in the brain and nervous system. It promotes relaxation, sleepiness and sometimes a feeling of euphoria. It causes a drop in blood pressure and slows the pulse rate. These properties are the reason why it was initially thought to be a useful sedative and anxiolytic. Common side effects of Methaqualone include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fatigue, itching, rashes, sweating, dry mouth, tingling sensation in arms and legs, seizures and its depressant effects include reduced heart rate and respiration. The drug became banned in many countries and was withdrawn from many markets in the early 1980s.

Denatonium, usually available as denatonium benzoate (trade names Bitrex) is the most bitter chemical compound known, with bitterness thresholds of 0.05 ppm for the benzoate and 0.01 ppm for the saccharide. Scientists at Macfarlan Smith, Ltd. of Edinburgh, Scotland discovered Bitrex during research on derivatives of the anesthetic lidocaine. The extremely bitter taste proved effective in reducing ingestion by humans and animals. Denatonium is commonly included in placebo medications used in clinical trials to match the bitter taste of certain medications. Denatonium activates bitter taste receptor, mainly, TAS2R4, TAS2R8, TAS2R10, TAS2R13 on many cell types and plays important roles in chemical release, ciliary beating and smooth muscle relaxation through intracellular Ca(2+)-dependent pathways.

Isoetharine is a beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, which was developed by Max Bockmuhl, Gustav Erhart and Leonhard Stein at the Hochst laboratories of I.G. Farbenindustrie in 1934. By binding to beta-2 adrenergic receptors on bronchial cell membranes, isoetharine increases the level of cAMP and thus stimulates the relaxation of smooth-muscle cells, stabilizes mast cells and inhibits histamine release. Isoetharine was approved by FDA for the symptomatic relief of bronchiospasms in patients with chronic bronchitis or emphysema (aerosol and solution for inhalation), however, later on the drug was discontinued.
