Levormeloxifene (INN) is an experimental selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that was being developed as an alternative to estrogen replacement therapy for the treatment and prevention of postmenopausal bone loss. Levormeloxifene is the levorotatory enantiomer of non-hormonal, non-steroidal oral contraceptive -- ormeloxifene (trade names Novex-DS, Centron, and Sevista). The development of Levormeloxifene was stopped because of a high incidence of gynecologic adverse events during clinical trials.

Oxyfedrine, an amino ketone derivative and partial agonist at beta receptors, has been shown to have potent antianginal properties and to increase coronary blood flow in normal and ischemic myocardial regions.

Meptazinol is a unique opioid analgesic. Binding studies suggest a relative selectivity for mu-1 opioid receptor sites. Meptid is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, including post-operative pain, obstetric pain and the pain of renal colic. The most commonly reported adverse reactions after treatment with meptazinol are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhoea and increased sweating, constipation, abdominal pain, rash, vertigo, headache, drowsiness, somnolence and dyspepsia.

Sediel (generic name: tandospirone citrate, marketed as Sediel in Japan) is a new type of antianxiety drug developed independently by Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals. It acts selectively on only the serotonin nerves in the brain that play an important part in the formation of anxiety and depression, and demonstrates antianxiety and anti-depression effects. Since it does not act on the other nerves that are so extensive in the brain, there is virtually no hypnotic or sedative effect, and the drug displays virtually no drug-dependence or side effects such as drowsiness and dizziness. Sediel has been on sale in Japan since December 1996, and is recognized for recognized as effective in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorders. Tandospirone acts as a potent and selective 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist. It was also investigated the usefulness of 5-HT1A agonists for enhancing some types of cognitive performance and possibly social and work function in patients with schizophrenia, and related to this was discovered, that tandospirone in combination with atypical antipsychotic drugs can improve cognitive function in Schizophrenia.

Xamoterol (ICI 118,587) is a partial agonist of beta1-adrenoceptors. Xamoterol acts on the cardiac beta 1-adrenergic receptor, modifies the response of the heart to variations in sympathetic activity. At rest, it produces modest improvements in cardiac contractility, relaxation, and filling without increase in myocardial oxygen demand. The improvements are maintained during exercise although the attendant tachycardia is attenuated. The beneficial effects of xamoterol on both systolic and diastolic function suggested that it would be effective in patients with mild-to-moderate heart failure, and this was demonstrated in small placebo-controlled studies where effort tolerance and symptoms were improved. Xamoterol produced improvements in exercise capacity, clinical signs, symptoms and quality of life with a low incidence of adverse experiences. Xamoterol is effective as monotherapy in heart failure.
