Dextromethorphan is a non-narcotic morphine derivative widely used as an antitussive for almost 40 years. It has attracted attention due to its anticonvulsant and neuroprotective properties. It is a cough suppressant in many over-the-counter cold and cough medicines. In 2010, the FDA approved the combination product dextromethorphan/quinidine for the treatment of pseudobulbar affect. Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex by a direct action on the cough center in the medulla of the brain. Dextromethorphan shows high-affinity binding to several regions of the brain, including the medullary cough center. This compound is an NMDA receptor antagonist and acts as a non-competitive channel blocker. It is one of the widely used antitussives and is used to study the involvement of glutamate receptors in neurotoxicity. Dextromethorphan (DM) is a sigma-1 receptor agonist and an uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist. The mechanism by which dextromethorphan exerts therapeutic effects in patients with pseudobulbar affect is unknown. Dextromethorphan should not be taken with monoamine oxidase inhibitors due to the potential for serotonin syndrome. Dextromethorphan is extensively metabolized by CYP2D6 to dextrorphan, which is rapidly glucuronidated and unable to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Cutamesine, an agonsit of brain sigma 1 receptors, was developed by Santen Pharmaceutical for the treatment of cognitive diseases. The drug was tested in phase II in patients with major depressive disorders and for recovery of patients with stroke, however its development was terminated for the given conditions. Currently M's science corporation is developing cutamesine for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Retinitis pigmentosa as more suitable target diseases.

Esaprazole, also known as hexaprazole, was developed in the 1980s as a drug for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers. Esaprazole exerts a dose-dependent cytoprotective effect on the gastric mucosa in man. It was shown to have a dose-dependent antisecretory activity, which was particularly evident on secretion volume and acid output. Esaprazole completed phase II clinical trials with only a few minor side effects being reported, but was shown to be less effective than Cimetidine and Ranitidine at healing ulcers. Esaprazole is a weak sigma opioid receptor and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors M3 and M5 ligand. Esaprazole analogs with many compounds showing neuroprotective properties.
