Rislenemdaz, also known as MK-0657 or CERC‐30, is an orally active, selective NMDA receptor subunit 2B (NR2B) antagonist which was a study for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and major depressive disorder (MDD). The data from the phase I clinical trials have shown that drug was not effective in improving motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson disease. In case of using this drug to treat MDD, in spite of the Missing Primary Endpoint in phase II clinical trials, it was shown, that MK-0657 had possessed a potential clinical meaningfulness, that is why it was suggested to continue studying it for MDD patients.

Iodohippuric acid I-125 (I-I25 Hippuran) is radioisotope that was used as a renogram probe in nefhrography in 1960s-1970s. It is an analog of I-131 labeled I(131) hippuran which has been recognized as the radiopharmaceutical standard for the measurement of effective renal plasma flow in subjects with renal failure but which use has been compromised by the suboptimal imaging characteristics of the 364-keV photon of 131I and the delivery of relatively high radiation doses to kidneys and thyroid in patients with impaired renal function. It was shown that radiation risk was rendered to a minimum with the use of the "cocktail" of 169U-EDTA and 125I-hippuran.

Pfizer was developing PF-04991532, a potent and selective hepatoselective glucokinase activator. PF-04991532 ameliorates hyperglycemia without causing hepatic steatosis in diabetic rats. F-04991532 reduced plasma glucose concentrations independent of changes in insulin concentrations in a dose-dependent manner both acutely and after 28 days of sub-chronic treatment. PF-04991532 may offer glycemic control without inducing hepatic steatosis supporting the evaluation of tissue specific activators in clinical trials. In 2012, Pfizer discontinued the development of the compound.

Lomibuvir (VCH-222) is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of non-nucleoside polymerase of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, with an IC50 range of 0.94-1.2 μM. Lomibuvir was generated from ViroChem's research programme investigating HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitors. In phase 1 and 2 clinical studies, Lomibuvir demonstrated effective antiviral efficacy, with substantial reductions in plasma HCV RNA in patients chronically infected with genotype 1 HCV. On 15 May 2014 Vertex Pharmaceuticals completes a phase II trial in Hepatitis C (treatment-naive, combination therapy) in USA, Canada, Germany, Poland and United Kingdom (NCT01516918). On 26 Jul 2016 Trek Therapeutics acquires lomibuvir from Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

AT7519M or AT7519, a small molecule inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 1, 2, 4, 5, and 9, participated in phase II clinical trials in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). As a result, in CLL, some patients had tumor reductions, but the objective response rate (ORR) was low. In MCL, activity was noted with ORR of 27%. In addition, AT7519M was studied in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma, to understand whether the drug alone or in combination with bortezomib were effective treatments. Recent experiments also have shown that AT7519 is a promising drug for the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma patients with MYCN amplification. It is known, that MYCN-dependent neuroblastomas have low cure rates with current multimodal treatment.

Bioresmethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. It is the (+)-trans isomer of resmethrin which itself contains a minimum of 30% bioresmethrin. Bioresmethrin is the [1R, trans] isomer of resmethrin and has greater insecticidal activity than the racemic mixture. Bioresmethrin is a potent contact insecticide effective against a wide range of household insects, plant pests, grain pests and insects found in animal housing. It exhibits a high order of insecticidal activity, which when coupled with its excellent toxicological properties, makes it potentially one of the safest and most useful insecticides now being produced.

MLN8054 is a reversible, ATP competitive inhibitor of recombinant Aurora A, developed by Millennium Pharmaceuticals. MLN8054 was tested in phase I clinical trials against advanced solid tumors. Reversible somnolence probably due to off-target inhibition of alpha-1 subunit of GABA-A receptor was dose limiting and prevented achievement of plasma concentrations predicted necessary for target modulation.

Asapiprant, also known as S-555739, a selective Prostaglandin D2 receptor 1 antagonist, participated in phase III of clinical trials in Japan and in phase II of trials in the USA for patients with Allergic rhinitis.
