ETRYPTAMINE (MONASE®), similar to the hallucinogenic tryptamines, is an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase, introduced for use as an antidepressant. It was withdrawn from the market due to problems with agranulocytosis and other side effects. However, it's activity is still under scientific investigation.

Guanethidine belongs to the general class of medicines called antihypertensives. It was used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is believed to act mainly by preventing the release of norepinephrine at nerve endings and causes depletion of norepinephrine in peripheral sympathetic nerve terminals as well as in tissues. It is taken up by norepinephrine transporters. It becomes concentrated in NE transmitter vesicles, replacing NE in these vesicles.

Piminodine is an analog of pethidine. It was used in medicine for obstetric analgesia and in dental procedures briefly during the 1960s and 1970s, but has largely fallen out of clinical use. Piminodine produces analgesia, sedation and euphoria and has typical side effects associated with opioids, including potentially serious respiratory depression, which can be life-threatening. Piminodine was more potent than desipramine and protriptyline under similar conditions. Compared to meperidine, piminodine is more potent and gives smoother duration. Piminodine can be addictive. Piminodine is currently a Schedule II controlled substance in the United States.

Dimetindene (trade name Fenistil; other name dimethindene maleate) is a potent antipruritic antihistamine, characterized by the small size of its effective dose and its rapidity of action. Dimetindene is an antihistamine/anticholinergic that is a selective H1 antagonist. Its effect sets in after 20 to 60 minutes and lasts several hours. Dimetindene drops as well as Dimetindene syrup is particularly indicated in pediatric practice. Dimetindene is indicated as symptomatic treatment of allergic reactions: urticaria, allergies of the upper respiratory tract such as hay fever and perennial rhinitis, food, and drug allergies; pruritus of various origins, except pruritus due to cholestasis; insect bites. Dimetindene is also indicated for pruritus in eruptive skin diseases such as chicken-pox. Dimetindene can be as an adjuvant in eczema and other pruriginous dermatoses of allergic origin.

Lucanthone is a thioxanthenone DNA intercalator. It inhibits topoisomerases and the dual function base excision repair enzyme apurinic endonuclease 1. Lucanthone has been devised for the treatment of schistosomiasis. It is also an antitumor agent. Lucanthone was being developed by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of malignant brain tumours.

Isoxsuprine (used as isoxsuprine hydrochloride) is a drug used as a vasodilator in humans (under the trade name Duvadilan) and equines. Isoxsuprine is a β2 adrenoreceptor agonist that causes direct relaxation of uterine and vascular smooth muscle via β2 receptors. Isoxsuprine it is used in humans for treatment of premature labor, i.e. a tocolytic, and as a vasodilator for the treatment of cerebral vascular insufficiency, Raynaud's phenomenon, and other conditions. Isoxsuprine may increase the heart rate, cause changes in blood pressure, and irritate the GI tract. It should, therefore, be used with caution if combined with other drugs that affect blood pressure, such as sedatives and anesthetic drugs. Isoxsuprine is most commonly used to treat hoof-related problems in the horse, most commonly for laminitis and navicular disease, as its effects as a vasodilator are thought to increase circulation within the hoof to help counteract the problems associated with these conditions.

Ergonovine (also known as ergometrine) is the active water soluble component of ergot of rye. Ergonovine is being used as a maleate salt to prevent or treate postpartum haemorrhage and postabortion haemorrhage. Ergonovine stimulates alpha-adrenergic and serotonin receptors, thus activating contractions of uterine and vascular smooth muscle. Ergonovine may have depressant effect on CNS system as it binds to dopamine receptors.
