Raxatrigine also known as GSK1014802 and CNV-1014802, is a novel analgesic under development by Convergence Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of lumbosacral radiculopathy (sciatica) and trigeminal neuralgia (TGN). It is a novel state dependent small molecule sodium channel blocker that preferentially inhibits the Nav 1.7 ion channel, a therapeutic target implicated by genetics in human pain conditions. Raxatrigine is thought to penetrate the central nervous system and block Nav channels in a novel manner. CNV1014802 was granted orphan drug designation in 2013 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

ARN-810 (GDC-0810) is a novel, orally bioavailable, estrogen receptor antagonist that induces proteasomal estrogen receptor degradation in breast cancer cell lines at picomolar concentrations and tumor regression in tamoxifen-sensitive and resistant BC xenograft models. Results from a first-in-human phase I/IIa study of ARN-810 indicate that it is tolerable and may benefit some postmenopausal women with advanced estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Development of ARN-810 was discontinued.

Chlorogenic acid is the ester of caffeic acid and (-)-quinic acid. Chlorogenic acid is a naturally occurring plant metabolite and can be found with the related compounds cryptochlorgenic acid and neochlorogenic acid in the leaves of Hibiscus sabdariffa, coffee, potato, eggplant, peaches, and prunes. Chlorogenic acid has been investigated as a dietary supplement to improve glucose intolerant hypoglycemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It has also been identified as a potential anticancer agent by reducing the expression of HIF-1a and Sphingosine Kinase-1. Chlorogenic acid was also identified as a neuraminidase blocker effective against influenza A virus (H1N1 and H3N2).

Filgotinib (GLPG0634) is a highly selective JAK1 inhibitor. GLPG0634 is a promising drug candidate for the future treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. It is in phase III clinical trials (initiated mid-2016) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Most common adverse events observed were infections, gastrointestinal disorders and nervous system disorders.

Q203 (6-chloro-2-ethyl-N-(4-(4-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)piperidin-1-yl)benzyl)imidazo [1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide) is an an imidazopyridine antitubercular compound. Q203 targets the cytochrome b subunit (QcrB) of the cytochrome bc1 complex. This complex is an essential component of the respiratory electron transport chain of ATP synthesis. Q203 inhibited the growth of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tuberculosis clinical isolates in culture broth medium in the low nanomolar range and was efficacious in a mouse model of tuberculosis at a dose less than 1 mg per kg body weight, which highlights the potency of this compound. In addition, Q203 displays pharmacokinetic and safety profiles compatible with once-daily dosing. Q203 is a promising new clinical candidate for the treatment of tuberculosis.

Ravuconazole is a triazole with antifungal properties that inhibits cytochrome P450 sterol 14a-demethylase, an enzyme involved in sterol synthesis, resulting in lysis of the fungal cell wall and fungal cell death. It was investigated for the treatment of aspergillosis, candidiasis, and onychomycosis, but these studies were discontinued. Ravuconazole is now in phase II clinical trials to investigate efficacy in preventing fungal infections in patients undergoing chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.

Sapanisertib is an oral dual inhibitor of mTORC1/mTORC2, discovered by Intellikine for the treatment of cancer. The drug is being tested in phase II of clinical trials for different cancers among which are sarcoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, etc. The drug is currently developed by Takeda with breast cancer, renal cancer and endometrial cancer being the main target indications.
