Tropantiol is a chelating agent. It was used in diagnosis or exclusion of Parkinsonian syndrome with or without dopaminergic deficit.

Etoxadrol is an NMDA receptor antagonist. It exerts phencyclidine-like properties. Etoxadrol has anticonvulsant and anesthetic activity. Intravenous etoxadrol was clinically tested as an anesthetic.

Sameridine was developed as a compound with both local anesthetic and opioid properties (partial micro-opioid receptor agonist). This drug participated in clinical trials when administered intrathecally to provide anesthesia for surgery and extended postoperative analgesia. However, further development of this drug was discontinued.

SPK-843 is a water-soluble partricin derivative patented by SPA Societa Prodotti Antibiotici S.p.A. and developed by Aparts and Kaken for the potential treatment of systemic fungal infections. In preclinical models, SPK-843 shows in vitro inhibitory activity comparable to or better than that of Amphotericin B against Candida spp., Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus spp. SPK-843 exhibits dose-dependent efficacy on murine pulmonary aspergillosis models. SPK-843 doses of higher than 1.0 mg/kg of body weight exhibit no renal toxicities and a tendency toward better survival prolongation than the estimated maximum tolerated doses of amphotericin B (Fungizone) and liposomal amphotericin B.

Evenamide (NW-3509) is a blocker of voltage-gated sodium channels. Evenamide modulates sustained repetitive firing, without inducing impairment of normal neuronal excitability. It normalizes glutamate release induced by aberrant sodium channel activity. The potential benefits of the compound have been demonstrated in numerous preclinical models predictive of efficacy in psychiatric diseases, including models of psychosis such as amphetamine-induced hyperactivity, sensorimotor gating and information processing deficits (pre-pulse inhibition impairment induced by different stimuli), mania and depression. Evenamide is being evaluated in a Phase II trial as add-on treatment to 5HT2/D2 blocking antipsychotics in schizophrenic patients.
