ABT-510 is an anti-angiogenesis compound that was under development by Abbott for the treatment of solid tumours, lymphoma and melanoma. It is a synthetic peptide that mimics the anti-angiogenic activity of the endogenous protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1). ABT-510 inhibits the actions of several pro-angiogenic growth factors important to tumor neovascularization; these pro-angiogenic growth factors include vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and interleukin 8 (IL-8).

LAUROLINIUM, a quaternary ammonium compound, is a cationic antimicrobial agent. It has a broad spectrum of activity against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, fungi, and protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. It is suitable for use in the treatment of local infections, for the sterilization of skin areas and for general antiseptic purposes.

Metenkephalin (Met-enkephalin) is an endogenous opioid peptide that acts as an agonist at μ-opioid receptors (μORs) and δ-opioid receptors (δORs). Met-enkephalin exhibits neuromodulatory, antinociceptive/analgesic, antidepressant, and gastrointestinal motility modulating activities. Like other endogenous opioids, met-enkephalin modulates expression of opioid receptors and plays a role in reward/reinforcement signaling. Met-enkephalin is also involved in exercise-induced reversal of neuropathic pain and in animals undergoing the forced swim test, decreases immobility time. Met-enkephalin inhibits gastrointestinal muscle contractility, inhibiting motility and gastric emptying. Additionally, analogs of this peptide display anticancer and antiepileptic/anticonvulsant activities.

Prazarelix is gonadorelin (GnRH) antagonist. It is primarily used in assisted reproduction to control ovulation. The drug works by blocking the action of GnRH upon the pituitary, thus rapidly suppressing the production and action of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

Lutrelin is an agonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor exerting antineoplastic properties.

Sotrastaurin, an orally-active, first-in-class immunomodulator, is under development by Novartis for the treatment of uveal melanoma and diffuse-large B-cell lymphoma. Sotrastaurin is a low molecular mass synthetic compound that potently inhibits the PKC α, β and the θ isoforms resulting in selective NF-κB inactivation. Sotrastaurin is a potent and selective pan-PKC inhibitor, mostly for PKCθ with Ki of 0.22 nM in a cell-free assay. Inhibition of PKC beta in B-cells results in prevention of NF-kB-mediated signaling and down regulation of NF-kB target genes. This may eventually lead to an induction of G1 cell cycle arrest and tumor cell apoptosis in susceptible tumor cells. This agent may act synergistically with other chemotherapeutic agents. PKC, a family of serine/threonine protein kinases overexpressed in certain types of cancer cells, is involved in cell differentiation, mitogenesis, inflammation, and the activation and survival of lymphocytes. Sotrastaurin is currently in phase II trials by Novartis for the treatment of large B-cell lymphoma and uveal melanoma. Sotrastaurin was in Phase II of clinical development for the prevention of acute rejection after solid organ transplantation and psoriasis, but this reseach had being discontinued.

Seglitide (previously known as L363,586 or MK-678), a cyclic, hexapeptide analog of somatostatin-14, is a somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) agonist. This compound was studied in Alzheimer's disease. Besides, it possessed inhibitory actions on rat growth hormone (GH) release and thus could have a role in the treatment of acromegaly. Intravenous and intranasal administration of seglitide to diabetic subjects was effective in reducing both fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia. Thus, this compound could be useful in the control of unstable diabetes. In addition, preclinical studies have shown that seglitide had potential as a treatment for diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. However, the further studied of this compound were discontinued.

Delmitide is the decapeptide with antiinflammatory activity. It is the first low molecular weight compound inhibiting TNF production at a translational level. Also, delmitide inhibits production of IFN-gamma, IL-12 and IL-2. It targets TRAF6/IRAK4/MyD88 complex and inhibits phosphorylation of SAPKs (p38 and JNK). Delmitide inhibits AP1 and NFkB activation. Delmitide was developed for the potential treatment of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis; phase II trials for both these indications commenced in October 2001. Phase I trial in chemotherapy-induced diarrhea and the gastrointestinal complications of HIV were also initiated. However, no recent development has been reported.

Edifolone (SC-35135) is a structurally unique class Ia antiarrhythmic agent. It acts as a sodium channel antagonist. Edifolone development has been discontinued.
