Iloperidone, also known as Fanapt, Fanapta, and previously known as Zomaril, is an atypical antipsychotic for the treatment of schizophrenia. Iloperidone shows high affinity and maximal receptor occupancy for dopamine D2 receptors in the caudate nucleus and putamen of the brains of schizophrenic patients. The improvement in cognition is attributed to iloperidone's high affinity for α adrenergic receptors. Iloperidone also binds with high affinity to serotonin 5-HT2a and dopamine 3 receptors. Iloperidone binds with moderate affinity to dopamine D4, serotonin 5-HT6 and 5-HT7, and norepinephrine NEα1 receptors. Furthermore, iloperidone binds with weak affinity to serotonin 5-HT1A, dopamine D1, and histamine H1 receptors. Iloperidone is indicated for the treatment of acute schizophrenia.

Bepotastine is a non-sedating, selective antagonist of the histamine 1 (H1) receptor. It belongs to the second-generation piperidine chemical class. It is a mast cell stabilizer and suppresses the migration of eosinophils into inflamed tissues. Bepotastine was approved in Japan for use in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and uriticaria/puritus in July 2000 and January 2002, respectively, and is marketed by Tanabe Seiyaku Co., Ltd. under the brand name Talion. It is available in oral and opthalmic dosage forms in Japan. The opthalmic solution is FDA approved since Sept 8, 2009 and is under the brand name Bepreve.

Asenapine is an antipsychotic drug. The mechanism of action of asenapine, as with other drugs having efficacy in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is unknown. Asenapine exhibits high affinity for serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, 5-HT5, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors, dopamine D2, D3, D4, and D1 receptors, α1 and α2-adrenergic receptors, and histamine H1 receptors, and moderate affinity for H2 receptors. In in vitro assays asenapine acts as an antagonist at these receptors. It has been suggested that the efficacy of asenapine in schizophrenia is mediated through a combination of antagonist activity at D2 and 5-HT2A receptors. Asenapine is approved by the FDA for the acute treatment of schizophrenia in adults and for the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder, with or without psychotic features, in adults.

DEGARELIX (FIRMAGON®) is a synthetic linear decapeptide amide containing seven unnatural amino acids, five of which are D-amino acids. It is a GnRH receptor antagonist. It binds reversibly to the pituitary GnRH receptors, thereby reducing the release of gonadotropins and consequently testosterone. DEGARELIX (FIRMAGON®) is effective in achieving and maintaining testosterone suppression below the castration level of 50 ng/dL and is indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced prostate cancer.

Methylnaltrexone, is a peripherally acting μ-opioid receptor antagonist that acts on the gastrointestinal tract to inhibit the opioid-induced decrease in gastric motility and transit time. It is used to treat opiate-induced constipation in adults with chronic non-cancer pain and in adults with advanced illness who are receiving palliative care.

Fesoterodine (trade name Toviaz) is a prodrug of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, which is also the active metabolite of tolterodine. Fesoterodine and its active metabolites are nonsubtype selective, competitive antagonists of human muscarinic receptors, but 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine has greater potency than the parent compound. A prodrug approach was necessary for systemic bioavailability of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine after oral administration. Fesoterodine was originated by Schwarz Pharma (later a subsidiary of UCB) and is being developed by Pfizer for the treatment of overactive bladder and urinary urge incontinence. The agent is launched in several countries for the treatment of overactive bladder, including the US, Japan, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Alvimopan (LY246736, ADL 8-2698, trade name Entereg) is a potent, peripherally selective mu-opioid receptor antagonist. Alvimopan was developed by Adolor Corporation (now Cubist Pharmaceuticals) and GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of postoperative ileus. Postoperative ileus is the impairment of gastrointestinal motility after intra-abdominal surgery or other non-abdominal surgeries. This may potentially delay gastrointestinal recovery and hospital discharge until its resolution. Morphine and other mu-opioid receptor agonists are universally used for the treatment of acute postsurgical pain; however, they are known to have an inhibitory effect on gastrointestinal motility and may prolong the duration of postoperative ileus. Following oral administration, alvimopan antagonizes the peripheral effects of opioids on gastrointestinal motility and secretion by competitively binding to gastrointestinal tract mu-opioid receptors.

Plerixafor is a bicyclam molecule, which has been identified as a specific antagonist of CXCR4. It had originally been developed as an inhibitor of T-tropic human immunodeficiency virus, but later demonstrated to be an effective mobilizer of hematopoietic stem cells. Plerixafor was approved by FDA for autologous transplantation (in combination with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma under the name Mozobil.

Silodosin is a selective antagonsit of alpha-1a adrenergic receptor which was developed by Kissei Pharmaceutical. The drug was approved by FDA under the name Rapaflo for the treatment of signs and symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Nebivolol is a competitive and highly selective beta-1 receptor antagonist with mild vasodilating properties, possibly due to an interaction with the L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway. In preclinical studies, nebivolol has been shown to induce endothelium-dependent arterial relaxation in a dose dependent manner, by stimulation of the release of endothelial nitric oxide. Nitric oxide acts to relax vascular smooth muscle cells and inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Activation of β1-receptors by epinephrine increases the heart rate and the blood pressure, and the heart consumes more oxygen. Nebivolol blocks these receptors which reverses the effects of epinephrine, lowering the heart rate and blood pressure. In addition, beta blockers prevent the release of renin, which is a hormone produced by the kidneys which leads to constriction of blood vessels. At high enough concentrations, this drug may also bind beta 2 receptors. Marketed under the brand name BYSTOLIC, Nebivolol is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
