8-Hydroxy-7-iodo-5-quinolinesulfonic acid (Ferron) showed fungistatic effect for Candida and for M. canis and T. mentagrophytes. Resotren is a chemical combination of chloroquine and iodohydroxyquinoline and, taken by mouth, is poorly absorbed and reaches the lower bowel in considerable concentration. Resotren is effective in both intestinal and extra-intestinal amoebiasis. Al-Ferron timed spectrophotometry assay is a basic method in the study on the formation of polynuclear hydroxyl aluminum species and their transformation laws in aqueous systems.

Tiapamil (also known as Ro 11-1781) is a dithiane derivative patented by Hoffmann-La Roche, F., und Co., A.-G. as calcium-channel antagonist useful for myocardial infarction treatment. Tiapamil, like verapamil, inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner Ca2+-induced contractions in isolated, K+-depolarized preparations of rat renal artery, dog coronary artery and rabbit main pulmonary artery. The inhibitory effects of Tiapamil can be overcome by raising the Ca2+ concentration of the bath fluid. In the rabbit main pulmonary artery, Tiapamil reduces 45Ca influx into the K+-depolarized vascular smooth muscle cells. Tiapamil inhibits the slow potentials in partially depolarized guinea-pig papillary muscles. Tiapamil decreases contractile force in isolated guinea-pig atria and papillary muscles, as well as in isolated cat hearts. Tiapamil also reduces heart rate and increases coronary flow in these preparations. Tiapamil doubled coronary artery blood flow in the coronary sinus blood without producing major changes in blood pressure and heart rate in anesthetized dogs. Tiapamil did not affect contractions of isolated guinea-pig ileum, rat stomach strips or rat vas deferens in response to various stimulants. Tiapamil have no major effects on renal water and electrolyte excretion, on autonomic nerves and receptors, on pain perception and on the central nervous system. Acute, subacute, and chronic toxicity studies demonstrate low toxicity for Tiapamil with no tendency for accumulation. In clinical trials, Tiapamil effectively lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure, but have no effects on heart rate

Ciclafrine is azaspiroalkane derivative patented by pharmaceutical company Goedecke A.-G. for the low blood pressure treatment

Pranidipine is the calcium channel blocker. Pranidipine did not affect the sensitivity of the contractile proteins to calcium. Pranidipine also did not alter cyclic GMP-induced relaxation in alpha-toxin-skinned vascular preparations. Pranidipine also prolonged glyceryl trinitrate-induced relaxation in the endothelium denuded rat aorta. Pranidipine enhances cyclic GMP-independent NO-induced relaxation of smooth muscle by a mechanism other than through NO-induced hyperpolarization. These effects were in direct contrast to amlodipine, another new 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonist. Pranidipine increased blood velocity and probably blood flow in the optic nerve head, choroid, and retina of rabbits. Pranidipine was not detrimental to global cardiac function in animals with dilated cardiomyopathy. Pranidipine enhances relaxation produced by endothelium-derived relaxing factor in carotid artery. Pranidipine was investigated as pharmacological agent for the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension.

Cronidipine (LF 2.0254) is a calcium channel blocker. LF 2.0254 inhibited in a time-dependent fashion K(+)- and Ca2(+)-induced contractions of rabbit aorta with respective IC50 of 2.7 nM and 1.7 nM. Cronidipine had a long-lasting antihypertensive action in spontaneously hypertensive rats and was able to decrease blood pressure and increase heart rate and plasma renin activity in hypertensive dogs.

Fluzinamide (AHR-8559), an anticonvulsant agent that was studied in patients with refractory partial seizures. However, information about the further development of this drug is not available.

LAVOLTIDINE, also known as loxtidine, is a highly potent and selective histamine H2-receptor antagonist. It is a member of triazoles. It produces gastric carcinoid tumors in rodents that is why its clinical development was discontinued.

There is no much available information related to the biological and pharmacological application of imidoline, but this compound has been found to be as potent as chlorpromazine in increasing striatal DOPA accumulation and prolactin secretion in vivo. Imidoline exhibited only weak inhibitory activity towards dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase and 3H-spiroperidol binding to striatal membranes in vitro. A proposed active conformation involves intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the protonated dimethylamino group and the oxygen of the imidazolidinone ring. The spatial relationship between the amine nitrogen and phenyl ring in this conformation allows proper fit of imidoline with key dimensions described for the dopamine receptor.
