METHOPHOLINE, an isoquinoline derivative, is an opioid analgesic drug. Its (R)-enatiomer is approximately six times more potent than codeine, and (S)-enantiomer is inactive. METHOPHOLINE was withdrawn from the market for reasons of safety.

DODICIN (Tego-51), one of the amphoteric surfactants based on the dodecyl-di( aminoethyl)-glycine, has been considered as an effctive disinfectant having a broad specturn of antimicrobial activity. Tego-51 disinfectant was effective for the disinfection of commonly isolated bacteria and yeast from hospital. It may be recommended that Tego-51 should be used at concentration greater than 0.1% for the effective disinfection of skin, instruments and hospital floors.

Zamifenacin, also known as UK-76654, a selective muscarinic M3 receptor antagonist, was studied in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This drug participated in clinical trials for the IBS phase III in the USA and phase II in the UK, but these studies were discontinued.

Enilconazole is a synthetic broad-spectrum antimycotic with a high activity against most of the common dermatophytes and various other fungi and yeasts. It is a selective inhibitor of ergosterol biosynthesis, an essential component of the cell membrane of fungi and yeasts. This results in irreversible changes which are the origin of the fungicidal effect. Enilconazole is marketed under the brand name Imaverol among others. Imaverol concentrated solution is a synthetic antimycotic with a potent antifungal action against dermatophytes such as: Trichophyton verrucosum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton equinum, and Microsporum canis in horses and dogs.

Ethyl fumarate is an anti-psoriatic agent. Its salts are used for the treatment of severe psoriasis (Fumaderm formulation). The mechanism of its action is unknown.

Fenoterol is a beta2-adrenoreceptor agonist, used as a bronchodilator for the treatment and prevention of bronchospasms, associated with asthma and chronic obstructive airway disease, including bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema. Fenoterol is also used for tocolysis during premature labor. Marketing of fenoterol for treatment of asthma was suspended in Australia and New Zealand because of an increased risk of deaths, most likely due to excessive self-administration of the drug.

Viminol is an opioid analgesic developed by the company Zambon. It is marketed under tradename Dividol for the treatment of pain due to various causes, including the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis, neuritic pain, vascular pain, visceral pain, neoplastic pain, and pain due to other sources. In vivo studies demonstrated that the analgesic effects of viminol depend on the stereo configuration: the R,R-enantiomer exhibit agonistic activity, while the S,S-enantiomer produce the opposite effect.

Ethybenzatropine (Ponalid) is an anticholinergic and antihistaminergic drug. It was used as an antiparkinsonian agent. A significant increase in the duration of action of levodopa-induced improvement in parkinsonian symptoms was observed following the administration of ethybenzatropine. Ethybenzatropine also improved, or tended to improve the duration and seventy of onset and end-of-dose levodopa-induced dyskinesias. Thus when levodopa is administered together with etybenzatropine, its length of action on parkinsonian symptoms is prolonged.

Gilutensin is a drug that was developed for the treatment of hypotensive circulatory disorders. As there is no information available on the drug since 1970, its development is supposed to be terminated in early phase.
