Oxeladin citrate is a cough suppressant, is a highly potent and effective drug used to treat all types of cough of various etiologies. Withdrawn from the Canadian, US, and UK markets in 1976 due to carcinogenicity. Oxeladine is a component of antitussive drug, Altussan, approved in Philippines.

Cyclobutyrol (CB) is a choleretic agent, which also inhibits biliary lipid secretion. Administration of cyclobutyrol reduced biliary concentration and output of cholesterol and phospholipid. This is due to an uncoupling of the secretion of cholesterol and phospholipids from that of bile acids. Biliary outputs of the canalicular membrane enzymes 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I are depressed. The most likely effect of CB is exerted at the level of the canalicular membrane.

Cetiedil is effective potassium channel blocker used as a peripheral vasodilator to treat patients with painful crises in sickle cell anemia and pain in the extremities caused by an arterial disease. Known pharmacological properties of the drug include vascular smooth muscle relaxation, inhibition of phosphodiesterase with the consequent increase in circulating cyclic AMP concentration, blockade of the effect of bradykinin and serotonin, analgesia, inhibition of platelet aggregation and the decrease of plasma and blood viscosity and plasma fibrinogen level. The antisickling effect of cetiedil is explained mainly in the light of the changes it induces in the activities of membrane-bound ATPases and the permeability properties of the erythrocyte membrane to cations and anions.

Talastine (trade name Ahanon), an alkylamine H1-antihistamine, was studied as a reason for an allergic drug exanthema.

Fabomotizole (also known as Afobazole) is a selective non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic which was developed in Russia and launched in 2006. The drug is used for the treatment of wide range of diseases: generalized anxious disorders, neurasthenia, adaptation disorders, sleep disorders, for alleviation of withdrawal syndrome. According to the drug label (in Russian), its action is related to the interaction with sigma-1 receptors.

Butamirate (or brospamin) is a medicine used for the symptomatic treatment of non-productive (dry) cough. Butamirate is centrally acting cough suppressant which is neither chemically nor pharmacologically related to opium alkaloids. In addition to its antitussive effect, Butamirate also decreases the airway resistance. Butamirate is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration. Maximum concentration is reached within 9 hours with sustain release tablet. Butamirate is extremely protein bound and Plasma elimination half-life is about 13 hours. Butamirate is indicated in acute cough of any etiology, pre and post operative cough sedation for surgical procedure and bronchoscopy. Butamirate is well tolerated. In rare cases, skin rash, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness have been reported.They disappear after reduction of the dosage or discontinuation of the drug.

Cafedrine, also known as norephedrinoethyltheophylline, is a chemical linkage of norephedrine and theophylline and is a cardiac stimulant used to increase blood pressure in people with hypotension. There are few data available for cafedrine. Cafedrine has a half-life of 60 min following both oral and intravenous administration Cafedrine is metabolized to norephedrine and several minor metabolites, but nearly 90% of the administered norephedrine is excreted via the kidneys, mostly unchanged, within 24 h. The effects of cafedrine on cardiac output are believed to be mediated via β- adrenoceptors. Cafedrine has a positive inotropic effect in humans, and this can be abolished by administration of the non-selective β-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol. A combination of cafedrine and theodrenaline called Akrinor® is used for the treatment of hypotension in adults that occurs during emergency situations, general anesthesia, and regional anesthesia, especially during cesarean sections. Cafedrine/theodrenaline may have advantages over other vasopressor drugs. For example, it can be administered via bolus while catecholamines normally need to be diluted and administered via syringe pumps. Bolus injection is faster, which may be beneficial in emergency situations, plus it is more cost efficient with respect to the disposables. Cafedrine/theodrenaline has been widely used in Germany since 1963

Demexiptiline (Tinoran, Deparon) is a tricyclic antidepressant, noradrenergic drug. It is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Deparon was used in France for the treatment of depression.

Bopindolol (4-[benzoyloxy-3-tertbutylaminopropoxy]-2-methylindole hydrogen malonate) is an indole beta-adrenoceptor antagonist bearing a benzoyl ester residue on the beta-carbon atom of the propanolamine side chain. Bopindolol is metabolized by esterase to benzoic acid and an active metabolite, 18-502 [4-(3-t-butylamino-2-hydroxypropoxy)-2-methyl indole], which is further metabolized to 20-785 [4-(3-t-butylaminopropoxy)-2-carboxyl indole]. Bopindolol produces sustained blockade of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors, has intrinsic sympathomimetic as well as membrane stabilizing actions, inhibits renin secretion, and interacts with 5-HT receptors. Bopindolol is used in the treatment of hypertension. In limited trials bopindolol has also successfully reduced symptoms in patients with angina pectoris, anxiety and essential tremor.

Fenbutrazate is a prodrug of phenmetrazine, a psychostimulant for the treatment of obesity. Fenbutrazate acts as an agonist of monoamine transportes upon conversion to the active metabolite. The drug is no longer marketed due to its addictive profile.
