VILANTEROL α-PHENYL CINNAMATE (GW642444H), originally developed by GlaxoSmithKline, is a long-acting β2 adrenoceptor agonist for once daily treatment of COPD and asthma. Phase III clinical trials are ongoing. GW642444H is Vilanterol a-phenylcinnimate salt. In clinical studies the study drug may been given as a dry powder in the form of either the ‘H’ salt (with the excipient lactose), or in the form of the ‘M’ salt (with the excipients lactose and cellobiose octaacetate). Its pharmacological effect is attributable to stimulation of intracellular adenylyl cyclase which catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increases in cyclic AMP are associated with relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of release of hypersensitivity mediators from mast cells in the lungs.

Ioforminol is a triiodobenzenedicarboxamide derivative patented by Ge Healthcare A/S as diagnostic agent for X-ray imaging. The toxicity and biodistribution properties of Ioforminol are similar to those of other radiographic contrast media. However, the osmolality of Ioforminol solutions is considerably lower than that of other dimeric radiographic contrast media, thus allowing for an iso-osmolar formulation containing a high concentration of electrolytes. Ioforminol has been used in trials studying the diagnostic of Cardio Renal Safety in High-risk Elderly Subjects Undergoing a Coronary CATH

PF-04457845 is a fatty acid amide hydrolase 1 inhibitor developed by Pfizer for the treatment of inflammatory and noninflammatory pain disorders. The drug was tested in phase II in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, but found to have the same effect as placebo. It was also assessed in phase II clinical trial for its effect on marijuana withdrawal and Tourette syndrome.

Gluceptate sodium also known as sodium glucoheptonate (H-Quest A300) is a non-toxic, a non-hazardous chelating agent, which forms stable complexes with di- and trivalent metal ions such as Ca2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Al3+, etc. This substance is highly compatible with strong alkaline mediums and can prevent the bacterial degradation of the solution. Gluceptate sodium has various applications in water treatment, agricultural, cosmetics, textile processing and in some others fields.

Nolpitantium (SR-140333) is a highly selective nonpeptide antagonist of neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor. Nolpitantium potently, selectively and competitively inhibited substance P binding to NK1 receptors from various animal species, including humans. In vitro, it was a potent antagonist in functional assays for NK1 receptors such as [Sar9, Met(O2)11]substance P-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation of rabbit pulmonary artery and contraction of guinea-pig ileum. Up to 1 mkM, Nolpitantium had no effect in bioassays for NK2 and NK3 receptors. The antagonism exerted by Nolpitantium toward NK1 receptors was apparently non-competitive, with pD2' values between 9.65 and 10.16 in the different assays. Nolpitantium also blocked in vitro [Sar9, Met(O2)11]substance P-induced release of acetylcholine from rat striatum. In vivo, Nolpitantium exerted highly potent antagonism toward [Sar9, Met(O2)11]substance P-induced hypotension in dogs, bronchoconstriction in guinea-pig) and plasma extravasation in rats. Nolpitantium was found to be effective in the modulation of the inflammatory response and airway remodeling in mice. Nolpitantium is reported to cause antagonism of the SP-induced relaxations of human isolated intralobar pulmonary arterial rings. Nolpitantium also blocked the activation of rat thalamic neurons after nociceptive stimulation. Nolpitantium has been shown to reduce the severity of inflammation in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis in the rat colon. Nolpitantium inhibited mustard oil-induced plasma protein extravasations in the dorsal skin of the rat hind paw. Nolpitantium had been in some phase II clinical trials but further studies were discontinued.

Motolimod (VTX-2337) is a small molecule, selective Toll-like receptor (TLR) 8 agonist has been used in trials studying phase II for the treatment of peritoneal carcinoma, Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, B-cell lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck among others. Motolimod is designed to mobilize a patient's immune system by directly activating myeloid dendritic cells, monocytes, and natural killer cells. This activation results in the production of a high level of mediators known to orchestrate the integration of both the innate and adaptive anti-tumor responses to a number of cancers.

EC17 (also known as Folate-FITC) is conjugate consisting of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugated with folate with potential antineoplastic activity. EC17 binds to folate receptors, which are overexpressed on the surfaces of many cancer cells including kidney and ovarian cancer cells. Once bound to the cancer cell through the folate moiety of the conjugate, circulating anti-fluorescein antibodies recognize and bind to the FITC moiety, resulting in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. EC17 is participating in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of patients with endometrial cancer, endometriosis, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma. In January 2018, On Target Laboratories initiated a phase III trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EC17 injection for patients with ovarian cancer.

E-6201 and discovered that the compound inhibits lipopolysaccharide-activated TNF-alpha reporter activity in THP-1-33 cells and selectively inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK)-1 and MEK kinase-1 in cell-free biochemical assays. In addition, E-6201 showed inhibitory activity in several other cell-based systems: 1) phosphorylation of c-jun N-terminal kinase and p38 MAPKs; 2) nuclear factor-kappaB and activated protein-1 activation in various cell types; 3) interleukin (IL)-2 production from human lymphocytes; 4) hyperproliferation of human keratinocytes; 5) IL-8 production from human keratinocytes; and 6) proinflammatory cytokine production from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Based on this data, E-6201 may be beneficial for treatment of inflammatory and hyperproliferative diseases such as psoriasis through its anti-inflammatory activities on immune cells and anti-hyperproliferative activities on keratinocytes. E-6201 exhibits anti-tumor efficacy against TNBC in vitro and anti-metastasis efficacy against triple-negative breast cancer in vivo.
