Tetraethylammonium is an experimental drug with no approved indication or marketed formulation. Tetraethylammonium blocks of apamin-sensitive and insensitive Ca2(+)-activated K+ channels. It is a weak agonist of the nicotinic receptor. Tetraethylammonium produces transient reductions in blood pressure. Tetraethylammonium hydroxide is used as a soluble source of hydroxide ions and in the synthesis of ionic organic compounds.

Tubocurarine, a naturally occurring alkaloid, is used to treat smoking withdrawl syndrom. Tubocurarine, the chief alkaloid in tobacco products, binds stereo-selectively to nicotinic-cholinergic receptors at the autonomic ganglia, in the adrenal medulla, at neuromuscular junctions, and in the brain. Two types of central nervous system effects are believed to be the basis of Tubocurarine's positively reinforcing properties. A stimulating effect is exerted mainly in the cortex via the locus ceruleus and a reward effect is exerted in the limbic system. At low doses the stimulant effects predominate while at high doses the reward effects predominate. Intermittent intravenous administration of Tubocurarine activates neurohormonal pathways, releasing acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, vasopressin, beta-endorphin, growth hormone, and ACTH. Tubocurarine competes with acetylcholine for post-synaptic nicotinic NM receptors and blocks them.

Piperocaine (Metycaine) is a local anesthetic drug. It is an ester and primarily is a sodium channel blocker. Piperocaine can partially inhibit dopamine. It is known as a alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor. Used in the form of its hydrochloride as a local or spinal anesthetic and in dental anesthesia. Can cause toxic reactions. Piperocaine Hydrochloride is in the list of Bulk Drug Substances Nominated for Use in Compounding Under Section 503A, FDA Act. Piperocaine hydrochloride is a small, white odorless crystals or a white crystalline powder, stable in air, freely soluble in water, alcohol and chloroform.

Phenolphthalein is a chemical compound often used as an indicator in acid-base titrations. For this application, it turns colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. In medicine, phenolphtaleine was used as a laxative, but is now being removed from over-the-counter laxatives because of concerns over carcinogenicity. The mechanism of action of phenolphthalein is poorly understood. It is speculated that laxative effect of phenolphthalein in part to be mediated by the efflux of potassium from cells.

Tricaine (MS-222, Tricaine-S), a water-soluble local anesthetic, is used commonly for sedation, immobilization, and anesthesia of poikilothermic animals and has been accepted as a common anesthetic for use in the cold-blooded animals. It has long been recognized as a valuable tool for the proper handling of these animals during manual spawning (fish stripping), weighing, measuring, marking, surgical operations, transport, photography, and research. Tricaine was developed by Merck as a sulfonated analog of benzocaine with high solubility in water. The main advantage of Tricaine is the short duration of action and rapid metabolism. There are many reports describing the use of Tricaine for anesthetizing poikilothermic animals because it is a safe agent for immersion anesthesia even though the other anesthetics such as ether, ethanol, thiopental, halothane, isoflurane, barbiturates also could be used. Amphibians could be anesthetized easily by immersion methods with Tricaine because the amphibian skin is extremely permeable and water is absorbed through the skin rather than ingested. Tricaine has been administered as an injectable agent also.

Procaine is an anesthetic agent indicated for production of local or regional anesthesia, particularly for oral surgery. Procaine (like cocaine) has the advantage of constricting blood vessels which reduces bleeding, unlike other local anesthetics like lidocaine. Procaine is an ester anesthetic. It is metabolized in the plasma by the enzyme pseudocholinesterase through hydrolysis into para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), which is then excreted by the kidneys into the urine. Procaine acts mainly by inhibiting sodium influx through voltage gated sodium channels in the neuronal cell membrane of peripheral nerves. When the influx of sodium is interrupted, an action potential cannot arise and signal conduction is thus inhibited. The receptor site is thought to be located at the cytoplasmic (inner) portion of the sodium channel. Procaine has also been shown to bind or antagonize the function of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors as well as nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and the serotonin receptor-ion channel complex.
