Anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid. It is used as a diluent in pharmaceutical industry, in some toothpastes as a polishing agent. Calcium phosphate is generally recognized as safe by FDA. Dibasic calcium phosphate is ised as a supplement to treat conditions associated with calcium deficit, such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and a certain muscle disease (latent tetany)

Bibrocathol (trade names Noviform and Posiformin) is a well-established topical antiseptic for the treatment of acute eyelid diseases like blepharitis. Eye ointments containing 2 or 5 % bibrocathol and the excipients liquid paraffin, white soft paraffin, and lanolin have been marketed since 1967 for the treatment of eye irritation, chronic blepharitis, and uninfected corneal injuries. Reports of clinical experience with bibrocathol for inflammation of the edge of the palpebra exist since the beginning of the 20th century. Until recently, no controlled, randomized clinical studies according to the guidelines for Good Clinical Practice for Trials on Medical Products for Human Use (GCP) as defined by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) have been performed with bibrocathol 2 % ointment, as these were not required for marketing authorization in the 1960s. A first double-blind, prospective, controlled, GCP-compliant clinical study was recently performed to assess the efficacy of bibrocathol 5 % (Noviform®) in acute blepharitis. It demonstrated superior efficacy of bibrocathol 5 % ointment as compared to an ointment vehicle (placebo) after 2 weeks of treatment as assessed by a combined measure of slit-lamp examination results and patients’ subjective complaints.

GSK-2269557 (nemiralisib), a PI3Kδ inhibitor, is in development as an anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of inflammatory airways disease. Studies in moderate or severe stable COPD patients have shown an acceptable safety and tolerability profile when GSK-2269557 was administered via inhalation. Cough was the most commonly reported adverse event.

Batefenterol, previously known as GSK961081, a bifunctional muscarinic (M2 and M3 receptors) antagonist β2-agonist that is developed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The drug has successfully completed phase II clinical trials with clinically significant improvements in lung function. No new or unexpected safety signals were observed in this COPD population. The conclusion from the trial was following that batefenterol 300 µg might represent the optimal dose for Phase III studies.

Tazadolene was developed as a novel non-opioid analgesic with antidepressant properties. Experiments on rodents have revealed that unique analgesia properties of tazadolene was due to the ability of this compound to activate both serotonergic and alpha 2 adrenergic antinociceptive systems. Information about the current use of this drug is not available.

Esreboxetine (PNU-165442G) is the (S,S)-(+)-enantiomer of antidepressant reboxetine, a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The (S,S)-enantiomer is a more potent inhibitor of norepinephrine transporter than (R,R)-enantiomer. Esreboxetine was being developed by Pfizer, primarily for the treatment of fibromyalgia.

Carsatrin (also known as RWJ 24517) is purinylpiperazine derivative patented by Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp. as cardiotonic and antiarrhythmic. Carsatrin acts as positive inotropic agent that increases twitch tension and prolongs the action potential (AP) duration of ventricular muscle without affecting the Na+,K+-ATPase, adenylyl cyclase, phosphodiesterase isozymes, or cardiac myofilaments. Carsatrin’s positive inotropic effect can be prevented by tetrodotoxin but not by the adrenergic antagonists timolol, yohimbine, or prazosin

Ciprefadol is an opioid analgesic drug. It binds with a high affinity to mu (Ki 4.2 nM) and kappa (Ki 2.5 nM) opioid receptors. In vivo, ciprefadol displays mixed antagonist/agonist activity in the mouse writhing and the rat tail heat tests: in low doses, the compound inhibits the analgesic effect of morphine, while at higher doses it displays analgesic effect. Chronic administration of ciprefadol to rhesus monkeys produced a marked physical dependence more severe than that of morphine, and its effect was consistent with what would be expected of a potent, long-lasting morphine-like agonist.

Vatalanib a potent oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor with a selective range of molecular targets, has been extensively investigated and has shown promising results in patients with solid tumors in early trials. Vatalanib selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase domains of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinases (important enzymes in the formation of new blood vessels that contribute to tumor growth and metastasis), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, and c-KIT. The adverse effects of vatalanib appear similar to those of other VEGF inhibitors. In the CONFIRM trials, the most common side effects were high blood pressure, gastrointestinal upset (diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting), fatigue, and dizziness.
