Ciglitazone, 5-[4-(1-methylcyclohexylmethoxy) benzyl]-thiazolidine-2,4-dione, is a hypoglycemic agent and a thiazolidenedione derivative. Ciglitazone binds to the PPAR gamma receptor and possesses agonist activity. This drug was in clinical trials in Japan for the treatment Diabetes mellitus, but that study has been discontinued. Ciglitazone was able to decrease the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in an in vitro human granulosa cell model. That result together with the pivotal role of VEGF in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome suggests that ciglitazone may have a high potential as a therapeutic agent.

Methoxyphedrine (para-methoxymethcathinone, 4-methoxymethcathinone, bk-PMMA, PMMC, Methedrone, 4-MeOMC) is a phenethylamine, amphetamine, and cathinone derivative that acts as a triple reuptake/release/reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor and used as a recreational drug. Methedrone has been found to be a potent serotonin transporter (SERT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET) inhibitor, but a weak dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor. Methedrone induces the transportation mediated release of NE, DA, and 5-HT from cells preloaded with monoamines making it a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine (SNDRA) releasing agent, also known as triple releasing agent (TRA), which is a common characteristic among drugs of abuse. The health risks associated with Methedrone are unknown but are expected to be similar to other cathinones. The deaths of two young men in southeast Sweden in 2009 were attributed to Methedrone overdose.

Epolamine (N-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine) is a strong base used to salify organic acids of pharmaceutical interest in order to improve their solubility in water. Diclofenac epolamine (Flector) is an example of the epolamine salt of a drug.

AZD-3293 camsylate wider known as Lanabecestat camsylate, a salt of Lanabecestat, a drug that was invented for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Lanabecestat inhibits beta-secretase 1 cleaving enzyme (BACE1) thus preventing the buildup of beta-amyloid and help stop the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The drug was in phase III clinical trials, but studies were discontinued because of recommendations by an independent data monitoring committee (IDMC). IDMC concluded that all trials, in early Alzheimer’s disease, and in mild Alzheimer’s disease dementia, were not likely to meet their primary endpoints upon completion and therefore should be stopped for futility.

Naprodoxime is an antidepressant, antiaggressive agent.

Troxacitabine is a synthetic nucleoside analogue. It is a poor substrate for nucleoside transporters and gains entry into cells by passive diffusion. Intracellular conversion to its active triphosphate form is via deoxycytidine kinase. Incorporation of this metabolite into DNA results in immediate chain termination and apoptosis induction. It is the first nucleoside analog with anticancer activity that has an unnatural stereochemical configuration. The dose-limiting adverse reactions were stomatitis and hand–foot syndrome.

AST-1306, also known as Allitinib, is an orally active potent, selective, irreversible inhibitor of the HER family of receptor tyrosine kinases. AST-1306 inhibits the enzymatic activities of wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ErbB2 as well as EGFR resistant mutant in both cell-free and cell-based systems. AST1306 potently suppressed tumor growth in ErbB2-overexpressing adenocarcinoma xenograft and FVB-2/N(neu) transgenic breast cancer mouse models. Allitinib is in Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Serious adverse effects detected were: diarrhea, dehydration and hyperbilirubinemia.

Flupranone was invented as an antihypertensive agent that has never been marketed. Information about the current use of this drug is not available.

Tinazoline is an imidazole derivative patented by Ciba-Geigy A.-G. as vasoconstrictors, particularly as nasal decongestants in the treatment of common cold. Tinazoline showing potent and long-acting vasoconstrictor activity on several vascular beds in dogs, guinea-pigs, cats, and rabbits. The vasoconstrictor effect has been shown in animals to be due to a stimulation of the 1-adrenoceptors and the compound does not exhibit any B-adrenoceptor agonist activity.
