Carfluzepic Acid is benzodiazepine derivative with tranquilizing, anticonvulsant, and anxiolytic activity patented by pharmaceutical company C. M. Industries S. A.

LCQ908 (Pradigastat) is a diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT-1) inhibitor. DGAT-1 is one of the two DGAT enzymes that catalyse the formation of triglycerides from diacylglycerol and acyl- coenzyme A. DGAT-1 catalyses the final committed step in processing dietary fatty acids into triglycerides carried on chylomicrons for transport around the body. Pradigastat may decrease the level of triglycerides in the blood and is intended for the first line treatment of FCS. It is administered orally at 10-40mg daily in addition to a low fat diet. Pradigastat is also in phase II clinical trials for type 2 diabetes and severe hypertriglyceridaemia (familial hyperchylomicronaemia phenotypes I and V). Pradigastat is a designated orphan drug in the EU. In a phase III clinical trial.

Esoxybutynin is (S)-enantiomer of oxybutynin. Esoxybutynin exerts antimuscarinic properties. Racemic oxybutynin is used clinically to treat urinary incontinence. Sepracor was developing (S)-oxybutynin, a single-isomer version of Alza's Ditropan (racemic oxybutynin), a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, as a potential treatment for urinary incontinence.

LADARIXIN is a dual inhibitor of chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. It inhibits human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) migration to chemokine CXCL8 in vitro and prevents PMN infiltration and tissue damage in several models of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in vivo. It is under development for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.

Chlorogenic acid is the ester of caffeic acid and (-)-quinic acid. Chlorogenic acid is a naturally occurring plant metabolite and can be found with the related compounds cryptochlorgenic acid and neochlorogenic acid in the leaves of Hibiscus sabdariffa, coffee, potato, eggplant, peaches, and prunes. Chlorogenic acid has been investigated as a dietary supplement to improve glucose intolerant hypoglycemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It has also been identified as a potential anticancer agent by reducing the expression of HIF-1a and Sphingosine Kinase-1. Chlorogenic acid was also identified as a neuraminidase blocker effective against influenza A virus (H1N1 and H3N2).

Pentopril (CGS 13945) is a member of a series of l-glutarylindoline-2(S)-carboxylic acid derivatives. Pentopril was evaluated as an inhibitor of a cell-free preparation of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) isolated from rabbit lung. Intravenous administration of incremental doses of pentopril to anesthetized normotensive rats produced a dose-related inhibition of angiotensin I (AI) pressor responses. The onset of inhibition of the A1 pressor response was rapid, and substantial inhibition occurred at 5 min after administration of the ACE inhibitors. Pentopril hydrolyzed in vivo to the biologically active free-acid form of CGS 13934. It was well tolerated in normal volunteers and hypertensive patients. Pentopril was developed for the treatment of both hypertension and congestive heart failure. Pentopril produced little clinical improvement and no biochemical improvement in a patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Bridgewater, NJ), was developing a novel prostaglandin analog, AR-102, that had 150-fold greater selectivity and 30-fold greater potency at the FP receptor than latanoprost. In preclinical studies, the drug has shown greater IOP-lowering efficacy and alonger duration of action than latanoprost and betterocular tolerability than travoprost. AR-102 was in early-stage clinical development for glaucoma, which was discontinued later..

VTP-194204 (NRX 194204, IRX4204) is a second-generation retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonist that has no cross-reactivity with retinoic acid receptors, farnesoid X receptor, liver X receptors or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor PPARγ. Rexinoid NRX 194204 selectively binds to and activates RXRs. Because RXRs can form heterodimers with several nuclear receptors (NRs), RXR activation by this agent may result in a broad range of gene expression depending on the effector DNA response elements activated. Rexinoid NRX 194204 may inhibit the tumour-necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated release of nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin 6 (IL6) and may inhibit tumour cell proliferation. This agent appears to be less toxic than RAR-selective ligands. VTP-194204 (IRX-4204) is in phase II clinical trials by Io Therapeutics for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is also in preclinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune diseases and multiple sclerosis.
