CMX-2043 is a is an α-lipoic acid analog developed by Ischemix LLC for reduction of cellular injury and organ damage due to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). CMX-2043 was more effective than lipoic acid in antioxidant effect, activation of insulin receptor kinase, soluble tyrosine kinase, and Akt phosphorylation, and activated insulin-like growth factor 1 as effectively as lipoic acid. In a rat model of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, treatment with CMX-2043 reduced myocardial IRI as measured by the myocardial infarction/area at risk ratio, and reduced the incidence of arrhythmia. In a 360-patient Phase 2 trial, CMX-2043 demonstrated safety but did not meet pre-specified endpoints regarding prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury or cardiac injury in cardiac catheterization lab subjects, and no further development of the drug was reported.

Cyproconazole is an azole fungicide, introduced to the market by Sandoz (now Syngenta). It is used to control a wide range of fungi on cereal crops, coffee, sugar beet, fruit trees, grapes, including rust on cereal crops, powdery mildew on cereal crops, fruit tree and grapes, and scab on apple. The cyproconazole structure exists in four stereoisomeric forms as two diastereoisomeric pairs of enantiomers. Cyproconazole is a 1:1 mixture of the two diastereomeric pairs, each of which is a 1:1 mixture of the enantiomers (i.e., all four stereoisomers are present in similar amounts). Cyproconazole inhibits the fungal enzyme eburicol 14-alpha-demethylase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of sterol, a component of a fungal cell wall.

Carnosol is an ortho-diphenolic diterpene with an abietane carbon skeleton with hydroxyl groups at positions C-11 and C-12 and a lactone moiety across the B ring. Carnosol is the product of oxidative degradation of carnosic acid. Carnosol is a naturally occurring phytopolyphenol found in rosemary that functions as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticarcinogen. Carnosol has been shown to inhibit inductions of COX-2 by blocking PKC signaling. Carnosol is an inhibitor of AR and ER α. Several pre-clinical studies have suggested that carnosol selectively targets tumorigenic cell as opposed to non-tumorigenic cells and is safe and tolerable in animals. Carnosol has been shown to elicit chemopreventive effects by (1) blocking the bioactivation of carcinogens, (2) enhancing antioxidant and/or detoxification enzyme activities, (3) suppressing tumor-promoting inflammation, (4) inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis selectively in cancer cells, and (5) blocking tumor angiogenesis and invasion.

Caffeine N-Acetyl-L-Tryptophan is Caffeine salt which can be used as a stimulant for the nervous system and as a vasodilator.

AT13148, being developed by Astex Pharmaceuticals and its collaborators, is an orally active small molecule inhibitor of Rho activated kinases (ROCK) 1 and 2 and of protein kinase (PK) A and is currently in phase 1 clinical studies under Cancer Research UK’s Clinical Development Program (CDP). AT13148 is currently being tested in a phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors.

INT-131, a novel, non-thiazolidinedione (TZD), selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma modulator and partial agonist, which was investigated in phase II of clinical trial for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin dependent diabetes) and Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing Remitting. The concept of selective modulation involves targeting and activating specific genes to minimize side effects while maintaining therapeutic benefits. In vitro, INT-131 attenuated adipogenic properties, indicating moderate PPAR gamma activation/cofactor recruitment compared with the full agonistic properties of TZD compounds.
