Cyclobutoic acid is a synthetic analog of mevalonic acid, developed by the Italian company Farmitalia Carlo Erba SPA. The compound inhibited the incorporation of [14C] into CO2, fatty acids and cholesterol, and was used for the treatment of hepatic deficiency.

Sulfaloxic acid is a benzamide derivative patented by Chemische Fabrik von Heyden A.-G. as an antibacterial agent.

Tiomolibdic acid salt, Bis-choline tetrathiomolybdate (ATN-224, WTX-101), is under investigation as a therapy against different cancers and Wilson’s disease (WD). ATN-224 is a second-generation analog of ammonium tetrathiomolybdate. ATN-224 is a novel copper chelator. ATN-224 inhibits CuZn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) leading to antiangiogenic and antitumor effects. Strategically tailoring combination regimens that include ATN-224 and target ROS may be a viable approach to advance the treatment of melanoma. ATN-224 is in phase III clinical trial for the treatment of Hepatolenticular degeneration. WTX-101 is in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of Wilson's disease. Once daily WTX-101 treatment over 24 weeks improved neurologic disease, hepatic status and copper control in newly diagnosed WD patients. WTX-101 appears well tolerated. Drug-induced, paradoxical, neurological deterioration was not observed. This compound has received orphan drug designation in both the United States and the European Union. WTX-101 was originally discovered by University of Michigan and now is being developed by Wilson Therapeutics by acquisition.

Ursulcholic acid is a soluble form of ursodeoxycholic acid. It is an anticholinergic agent.

Olpadronate, a nitrogenated bisphosphonate that can inhibit bone resorption. Although it shares the therapeutic and pharmacological properties of pamidronate and alendronate, it has a greater dosage amplitude, more predictable effects, and greater digestive tolerability than other bisphosphates. Clinical trials have shown that the oral olpadronate was well tolerated and effective in the treatment of Paget's disease. In addition, the drug is ongoing in phase II clinical trials in the Netherlands. This clinical trial has to assess the efficacy of the intravenous drug in decreasing the average back pain intensity from baseline.

Trethocanic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid. It exerts a similar effect on the skin as salicylic acid. Trethocanic acid was used as antihypercholesterolaemic agent.

Lysergide (LSD) is a semi-synthetic hallucinogen and is one of the most potent drugs known. Recreational use became popular between the 1960s to 1980s, but is now less common. LSD was first synthesized by Albert Hoffman while working for Sandoz Laboratories in Basel in 1938. Some years later, during a re-evaluation of the compound, he accidentally ingested a small amount and described the first ‘trip’. During the 1950s and 1960s, Sandoz evaluated the drug for therapeutic purposes and marketed it under the name Delysid®. It was used for research into the chemical origins of mental illness. Recreational use started in the 1960s and is associated with the ‘psychedelic period’. LSD possesses a complex pharmacological profile that includes direct activation of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine receptors. In addition, one of its chief sites of action is that of compound-specific (“allosteric”) alterations in secondary messengers associated with 5HT2A and 5HT2C receptor activation and changes in gene expression. The hallucinogenic effects of LSD are likely due to agonism at 5HT2A and 5HT2C receptors. LSD is also an agonist at the majority of known serotonin receptors, including 5HT1A, 5HT1B, 5HT1D, 5HT5A, 5HT6 and 5HT7 receptors. During the 1960s, LSD was investigated for a variety of psychiatric indications, including the following: as an aid in treatment of schizophrenia; as a means of creating a "model psychosis"; as a direct antidepressant; and as an adjunct to psychotherapy. LSD is listed in Schedule I of the United Nations 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

Talaglumetad (also known as LY-544344) is a bicyclohexane derivative patented by Eli Lilly and Company as modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor. Talaglumetad acts as a prodrug of Eglumegad, a selective agonist of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2/3) and metabolized to release active compound by both human jejunal homogenates and rat liver homogenates. In experiments on mice, Talaglumetad was found to be as effective as diazepam for treating anxiety symptoms in several standard tests, but without producing any of the negative side effects of diazepam such as sedation and memory impairment.

Nafcaproic acid (DA-808) is a synthetic choleretic agent.
