IPROXAMINE is a peripheral vasodilator.

Omtriptolide (previously known as PG490-88 or F60008), an immunosuppressant that has been shown to be the safe and potent antitumor agent and it has been approved entry into Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of prostate cancer in the USA. In addition, the drug is participating in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of myeloid leukemia. Experiments on animals have shown omtriptolide was highly effective in the prevention of murine graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The immunosuppressive effect of the drug was mediated by inhibition of alloreactive T cell expansion through interleukin-2 production. However, this study was discontinued. Recently published article has shown omtriptolide possesses the potential as a prophylactic agent to prevent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced lung injury.

Cariporide is a selective sodium-hydrogen antiporter inhibitor patented by a pharmaceutical company Hoechst A.-G. for treatment myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The sodium-hydrogen exchanger is an important player in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The accumulation of hydrogen ions in the myocyte cytosol; during ischemia creates a proton gradient that promotes the efflux of hydrogen ions in exchange for the influx of sodium ions. This sodium buildup can secondary activates the sodium-calcium exchanger to operate in the reverse mode, resulting in a net calcium accumulation in myocyte cytosol, which leads to dysfunction and cell death. By inhibiting sodium-hydrogen exchange, Cariporide can prevent the accumulation of calcium in the cytosol, therefore reduce the infarct size. In clinical trials, Cariporide shows a statistically significant decline in myocardial infarction but increases mortality. Due to the increase in mortality, cariporide did not pass clinical trials.

Elgodipine (IQB-875, CAS 119413-55-7) is a phenyldihydropyridine derivative acting as a calcium channel antagonist. Elgodipine inhibited both T- and L-type calcium channels in a concentration-dependent manner. Elgodipine was in clinical trials for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases however its development has been discontinued.

Mitemcinal (GM-611), an erythromycin-derived prokinetic agent, was developed by Chuga as an agonist of the motilin receptor. Mitemcinal acts by a novel mechanism whereby it stimulates and promotes peristalsis in the stomach and other segments of the gastrointestinal tract. This drug was studied as a potential treatment for gastric motility disorder, as well as reflux esophagitis, non-ulcer dyspepsia, and diabetic gastroparesis. Mitemcinal was involved in phase II clinical trials in Patients with diabetic gastroparesis. Although gastroparetic symptoms improved with both mitemcinal and placebo, the prominent placebo effect was not statistically exceeded by mitemcinal. That is why the development of this drug has stalled. In addition, mitemcinal has been studied in phase II for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, but this study was also discontinued.

Atiprosin (AY-28,228), an octahydro-pyrazino-pyrido-indole drug, possesses the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist activity and exerts antihypertensive effects. Atiprosin has never been marketed

Risotilide is a Class III antiarrhythmic agent that inhibits the voltage-dependent potassium channel. Risotilide prolongs cardiac action potentials and refractory periods. It was shown to reduce ventricular vulnerability in a study on arrhythmogenic effects of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in the intact heart in cats. Phase I and II trials have been conducted, but development of this drug has been discontinued.

Remogliflozin is the active component of the pro-drug remogliflozin etabonate, which is used the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ("NASH") and type 2 diabetes. Remogliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose transport proteins (SGLT), is selective for SGLT2, which is responsible for glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Blocking this transporter causes blood glucose to be eliminated through the urine.

Dexclamol is a sedative agent. It was found to potentiate the anesthetic actions of halothane. In potentiating the effects of halothane, dexclamol behaved both qualitatively and quantitatively in a manner similar to droperidol. Dexclamol, however, was approximately 37 times less potent than droperidol in antagonizing the vasopressor effects of epinephrine. The neuroleptic agent (+)-dexclamol, but not (-)-dexclamol, affects central dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) turnover and indicates a stereochemical specificity with respect to antagonism of central DA and NE receptors. Dexclamol was as effective as droperidol at the same dose in inducing neurolepsy and in supplementing nitrous oxide anaesthesia. Changes in heart rate, respiratory rate and rectal temperature in the animals treated with dexclamol were not different from those observed in the animals treated with droperidol.
