Fanetizole is a derivative of 2-aminothiazole. It is an anti-inflammatory agent. This drug is reported to have some cyclooxygenase inhibiting activity. Production of superoxide in response to the chemotactic factor formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (f-Met-Leu-Phe) was markedly inhibited by fanetizole. Suppression of neutrophil production of toxic oxygen metabolites may partially explain the antiarthritic effect of fanetizole. Fanetizole was shown to restore depressed E-rosetting activity in adult thymectomized mice, as well as enhance in in vitro proliferation of murine thymic cells to mitogen and synergistically acted with the monokine interleukin-1. It displays anti-arthritic activity in viva in the rat adjuvant arthritis model, inhibiting the development of disease in the non-infected foot. This drug has less side effects than levamisole in animals.

Netazepide (YF476) is an orally active, benzodiazepine type, selective cholecystokinin B receptor (CCKBR; CCK2R; gastrin receptor) antagonist with potential gastric acid reducing and antiproliferative activity. Upon administration, netazepide, selectively binds to and blocks the CCKBR, thereby preventing the binding of gastrin and cholecystokinin. This may prevent gastric neuroendocrine enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell-induced secretion of histamine, ultimately preventing gastric acid secretion from adjacent parietal cells. In addition, YF476 may inhibit ECL cell proliferation and ECL-derived gastric carcinoids. Netazepide has been used in trials studying the prevention and treatment of dyspepsia, hypergastrinaemia, barrett's esophagus, ECL-cell hyperplasia, and rebound hyperacidity, among others. Netazepide once daily for 12 weeks reduced the number of tumours and size of the largest one in 16 patients with autoimmune chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), achlorhydria, hypergastrinaemia and multiple gastric neuroendocrine tumours (type 1 gastric NETs), and normalized circulating chromogranin A (CgA) produced by enterochromaffin-like cells, the source of the tumours.

Piridicillin is the semi-synthetic penicillin. It has exhibited broad-spectrum activity in vitro against gram-positive cocci, except penicillin G-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and against gram-negative bacilli. Piridicillin is reported to be more active in-vitro than piperacillin, azlocillin or ticarcillin against Ps. aeruginosa. It is unstable at alkaline pH and displays marked inoculum independence.

Hydroxytamoxifen (Afimoxifene) is an active metabolite of tamoxifen exerting estrogen receptor modulatory function. In addition, hydroxytamoxifen binds to regulates transcriptional activity of the estrogen-related receptor gamma. ASCEND Therapeutics, Inc. was developing TamoGel (4-hydroxytamoxifen gel) for a variety of estrogen-dependent conditions, including breast cancer, cyclic breast pain and gynecomastia.

Motrazepam (Ro06-9098) is a benzodiazepine derivative patented by a Swiss multinational healthcare company Hoffmann-La Roche as anticonvulsants, muscle relaxants, and sedative agent.

ROTAMICILLIN was developed as an antibiotic that has never been marketed.

Asulacrine, also known as CI-921, an inhibitor of topoisomerase II, participated in clinical trials phase II for the treatment of cancer. In spite of the positive and promising results, this drug showed the toxicity, phlebitis that blocks its implementation in the future.

Ibipinabant (IBI) is an orally active potent cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) antagonist. This drug was studied for the treatment of obesity and psychotic disorders. However, the development of the drug was discontinued in November 2008. Now, ibipinabant is only used for laboratory research, especially structure-activity relationship studies into novel CB1 antagonists.

Piperamide is substituted piperazine with a tertiary amine group. It was used as an anthelmintic agent. Initially, it was investigated because of its effectiveness against Trypanosoma. Piperamide distorts choroid plexus epithelial ultrastructure by engendering hydropic vacuoles.
