Oximonam (also known as SQ 82,291) was developed as a monobactam antibiotic that had shown good activity against different bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae and Haemophilus influenzae and was no activity at all against staphylococci and against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Mofegiline (MDL 72,974A or (E)-2-(4-fluorophenethyl)-3-fluoroallylamine, hydrochloride), is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, mofegiline inhibits semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase activity from human serum and saphenous vein. In phase II studies, MDL 72,974A is proving to be a useful adjunct to conventional therapy of Parkinson's disease. It seems mofegiline development was discontinued.

Conorphone (TR5109) is an opioid of mixed agonist-antagonist analgesic class. In animal models, conorphone demonstrated an analgesic activity in the same range as morphine, and lack of addiction liability. Conoprphone was evaluated in a clinical trial for postoperative pain in the oral surgery model and in patients with postepisiotomy pain. The 40 mg dose of conorphone resulted in a significant incidence of side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.

Traxoprodil (CP-101,606) is a potent, selective N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (NR2B subunit) antagonist under development by Pfizer for its potential as a neuroprotectant in head injury and neurodegenerative disease. It is in phase II trials in the US and in phase I in Japan for the potential treatment of head injury, such as, Depressive Disorder, Major and Parkinson's Disease. CP-101,606 does not protect against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in cultured cerebellar neurons, up to a dose of 10 uM. These results are consistent with CP-101,606 being a potent NMDA antagonist, selective for the type of NMDA receptor associated with the hippocampus. Some further investigation revealed that CP-101,606 was associated with a dose-related dissociation and amnesia. These results support the hypothesis that glutamate antagonists may be useful antidyskinetic agents. However, future studies will have to determine if the benefits of dyskinesia suppression can be achieved without adverse cognitive effects.

Stercuronium is a conessine derivative patented by Koninklijke Nederlandsche Gist-en Spiritusfabriek N. V. as a competitive neuromuscular blocking agent with antimuscarinic activity. In preclinical models, Stercuronium produced significantly greater inhibition (P < 0.05) of the bradycardia than of the vasodepressor response produced by carbachol. In guinea-pig atria, the negative chronotropic response to carbachol was inhibited to a similar degree to the negative inotropic response by Stercuronium, whereas in bladder and ileum Stercuronium was 17 fold less active as an antimuscarinic drug. The affinity of Stercuronium for the prejunctional muscarinic receptor on sympathetic nerve endings in the rabbit ear artery was similar to that for the muscarinic receptor mediating negative inotropic responses to carbachol in the rabbit left atrium. Unfortunately, in clinical trials Stercuronium producing marked tachycardia in some patients when used as a muscle relaxant.

Triciribine is a purine analogue which inhibits DNA and protein synthesis, it is a synthetic tricyclic nucleoside which acts as a specific inhibitor of the Akt signaling pathway. It selectively inhibits the phosphorylation and activation of Akt1, -2 and -3 but does not inhibit Akt kinase activity nor known upstream Akt activators such as PI 3-Kinase and PDK1. It inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis preferentially in cells that express aberrant Akt1. In whole cells triciribine is phosphorylated by adenosine kinase which may be necessary for its activity. Triciribine is a cancer drug which was first synthesised in the 1970s and trialled clinically in the 1980s and 1990s without success. Following the discovery in the early 2000s that the drug would be effective against tumours with hyperactivated Akt, it is now again under consideration in a variety of cancers. As PTX-200, the drug is currently in two early stage clinical trials in breast cancer and ovarian cancer being conducted by the small molecule drug development company Prescient Therapeutics.

Ciladopa, is a troponylpiperazine derivative and dopamine agonist that has been shown to influence dopaminergic mechanisms in animals. Preclinical pharmacological studies have suggested that it has antiparkinsonian activity similar to that of bromocriptine but without many of the troublesome side effects. Unfortunately in some clinical trials no significant differences was found among the treatment groups and placebo.

Torcitabine is the beta-L-enantiomer of the natural nucleoside D-cytidine. The drug was under development as an antiviral agent for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Torcitabine has poor oral bioavailability, but its 3’,5’-derivative ester (val-L-dC) and the 3’-monovaline ester, valtorcitabine dihydrochloride, have excellent oral bioavailability and consequently the torcitabine prodrug, valtorcitabine, has replaced torcitabine in clinical development. Torcitabine is active against hepadnaviruses, specifically human hepatitis B virus (HBV), duck hepatitis virus (DHBV) and woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV). Torcitabine triphosphate is a selective inhibitor of the polymerase enzyme of HBV.

Atrasentan (ABT-627, A-127722) is a selective endothelin A receptor antagonist. Atrasentan is being developed by AbbVie as an oral treatment for diabetic nephropathies.Abbott Laboratories was conducting clinical development of atrasentan for the treatment of certain cancers, including phase II trials for prostate cancer. However, no recent development has been reported for cancer indications and development is presumed to be discontinued.

Remogliflozin is the active component of the pro-drug remogliflozin etabonate, which is used the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ("NASH") and type 2 diabetes. Remogliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose transport proteins (SGLT), is selective for SGLT2, which is responsible for glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Blocking this transporter causes blood glucose to be eliminated through the urine.
