Mazapertine (RWJ-37796) is an arylpiperazine antipsychotic with high affinity to dopamine D2 and D3, serotonin 5-HT1A and alpha 1A-adrenergic receptors. It was being studied in the treatment of schizophrenia.

Etorphine was the first potent opiate agonist employed primarily for use in non-domestic and wild species. Etorphine was 500 times as potent as morphine, with a very rapid onset and short duration of action. In morphine-dependent subjects, etorphine suppressed abstinence but for a shorter period than morphine. Etorphine is a full opiate agonist and binds to multiple opiate sites in the central nervous system. It is believed to produce its clinical effects through binding the µ-, δ-, and κ- opiate sites. It has a potent effect on depressing the respiratory centers of the CNS thus resulting in apnea being commonly seen in immobilized animals. Etorphine revolutionized the ability of biologists and veterinarians to safely capture and restrain many species that previously could not be handled. Etorphine is not currently commercially available due to lack of production by the manufacturer.

Volinanserin (MDL-100,907) is a highly selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist. It is widely used in scientific research to investigate the function of the 5-HT2A receptor. Volinanserin is also being trialed as a potential antipsychotic, antidepressant and treatment for insomnia. Volinanserin (M-100907) was in phase III trials for chronic schizophrenia. In August 1999, development was discontinued for acute schizophrenia (schizoaffective disorder) on the basis of poor results. M-100907 is also active in animal models involving blockade of NMDA glutamatergic channel receptors, an effect known to resemble some behavioral symptoms of schizophrenia in man. M-100907 is also claimed in other patents for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders, for the treatment of various developmental neurological disorders such as autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Cloperidone is a quinazolinedione derivative with sedative and antihypertensive properties. Cloperidone was discovered in 1965 by Miles Laboratories. The activity of the compound was demonstrated by behavioral observations in dogs and cats, by rotarod and activity cage experiments in mice and in other models.

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.

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