Delprostenate is a synthetic analogue of PGF2-alpha, which is the naturally occurring prostaglandin used in medicine to induce labor and as an abortifacient. It is a useful synchronizer for the sheep.

Ioglucomide is triiodoanilide derivative patented by Mallinckrodt, Inc. as nonionic x-ray contrast media for myelography. In preclinical studies the efficacy of ioglucomide and metrizamide were comparable. However, acute toxicity after intravenous injection or installation into cerebrospinal fluid was significantly less for ioglucomide. Also, in contrast to metrizamide, ioglucomide produced no evidence of any type of convulsive activity after subarachnoid administration.

FLUDOREX is an antiemetic and anorexic agent.

Rifamides (NSC-143418) are drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis. They also have immunosuppressive activity, the exact mechanism of which is still unknown, although the ability of rifamides to inhibit tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced NF-kB activation may be associated with it. A variety of rifamide analogues exist, such as rifamycin B, rifapentine, rifamycin SV, rifabutin and rifampicin.

Elafibranor (GFT505) is an agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ. GFT505 has an active metabolite, GFT1007, and both have potent agonist activity for PPAR-a and to a lesser extent for PPAR-d. Elafibranor improves insulin sensitivity, glucose homeostasis, and lipid metabolism and reduces inflammation. Elafibranor (GFT505) reverses nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to prevent fibrosis progression. With an outstanding safety and tolerance profile, elafibranor provides NASH patients with needed cardio-protective benefits. Elafibranor is currently being evaluated in the clinical Phase 3 study RESOLVE-IT. The safety profile of GFT505 from the completed clinical trials appears satisfactory with no indication of PPAR-g agonist effects such as edema or body weight gain.

Odalprofen was used as an analgesic. Information about the current use of this compound is not available.

Hydroxypethidine, an opioid analgesic is an opioid receptor agonist. Hydroxypethidine is under the control of narcotic drugs according to US Single Convention 1961.

Froxiprost (ONO-995), a synthetic analog of dinoprost, is a prostanoid receptor agonist. Froxiprost is active in contracting the uterine smooth muscle and is used as a pharmacological tool.

Dichloroxylenol is a bactericide, preservative and deodorant. It is often used in the preparation of antiseptic and deodorant lotions and bath preparations. Dichloroxylenol also showed slightly greater activity against S. aureus Oxoid 701/1 Lot 610254 than against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi, indicating a probable role for cell wall in the susceptibility of bacteria to dichloroxylenol. The efficacy of either povidone-iodine (Betadine) or dichloroxylenol (Septocid) intrauterine infusions on the treatment of endometritis and/or cervicitis in cows was examined. The recovery and conception rates obtained after Betadine treatment were better than those obtained after Septocid. Moreover, healthy cows and those inseminated before post-partum day 180, having no more than 4-7 previous services, responded well to either Betadine or Septocid treatment.
