Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Conditions:
Levocabastine (trade name Livo) is a selective second-generation H1-receptor antagonist used for allergic conjunctivitis. Levocabastine binds the G protein-coupled neurotensin receptor 2 (NTR2), but not NTR1, where it behaves as a weak partial inverse agonist. In an environmental study, LIVOSTIN 0.05% (levocabastine hydrochloride ophthalmic suspension) instilled four times daily was shown to be significantly more effective than its vehicle in reducing ocular itching associated with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. After instillation in the eye, levocabastine is systemically absorbed. However, the amount of systemically absorbed levocabastine after therapeutic ocular doses is low (mean plasma concentrations in the range of 1-2 ng/mL). Brand name Livostin is no longer available in the U.S., but generic versions may still be available. Common side effects include burning, stinging, itching, or watering of the eyes, eye irritation or discomfort, blurred vision, dry or puffy eyes, headache, nosebleed, nausea, or fatigue.

CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Targets:
Bepridil is a calcium channel blocker that has well characterized anti-anginal properties and known but poorly characterized type 1 anti-arrhythmic and anti-hypertensive properties. It has inhibitory effects on both the slow calcium and fast sodium inward currents in myocardial and vascular smooth muscle, interferes with calcium binding to calmodulin, and blocks both voltage and receptor operated calcium channels. It is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (chest pain), sustained atrial fibrillation and tachyarrhythmia. The most common side effects were upper gastrointestinal complaints (nausea, dyspepsia or GI distress), diarrhea, dizziness, asthenia and nervousness. Certain drugs could increase the likelihood of potentially serious adverse effects with bepridil hydrochloride. In general, these are drugs that have one or more pharmacologic activities similar to bepridil hydrochloride, including anti-arrhythmic agents such as quinidine and procainamide, cardiac glycosides and tricyclic anti-depressants. Anti-arrhythmics and tricyclic anti-depressants could exaggerate the prolongation of the QT interval observed with bepridil hydrochloride. Cardiac glycosides could exaggerate the depression of AV nodal conduction observed with bepridil hydrochloride.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Targets:
Levamisole (the trade name Ergamisol), an anthelminthic drug with immunological properties. It also has antitumor activity when administered with 5-fluorouracil in patients with Duke's C colorectal carcinoma; however, this use was discontinued. The mechanism of the antitumor effect is unknown but has been postulated to be related to levamisole's immunomodulatory properties. Levamisole can stimulate antibody formation to various antigens, enhance T-cell responses by stimulating T-cell activation and proliferation, potentiate monocyte and macrophage functions including phagocytosis, chemotaxis and increases motility, adherence, and chemotaxis. Levamisole inhibits alkaline phosphatase and possesses cholinergic activity. The mechanism of action of levamisole as an antiparasitic agent, for example, to treat ascariasis, relates to its agonistic activity to L-subtype nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in nematode muscles. In addition, levamisole was studied for preventing relapses of the steroid-sensitive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (SSINS). It was shown, that alone or in combination with steroids, the drug can prolong the time to relapse and prevented recurrence during one year of treatment. However, these studies also were also discontinued.

Conditions:
Encainide is an antiarrhythmic drug, developed by Bristol Myers Co supplied 25 and 35 mg capsules for oral administration. Encainide is no longer used because of its frequent proarrhythmic side effects. The mechanisms of the antiarrhythmic effects of Enkaid are unknown but probably are the result of its ability to slow conduction, reduce membrane responsiveness, inhibit automaticity, and increase the ratio of the effective refractory period to action potential duration. Enkaid produces a differentially greater effect on the ischemic zone as compared with normal cells in the myocardium. This could result in the elimination of the disparity in the electrophysiologic properties between these two zones and eliminate pathways of abnormal impulse conduction, development of boundary currents and/or sites of abnormal impulse generation. The absorption of Enkaid after oral administration is nearly complete with peak plasma levels present 30 to 90 minutes after dosing. There are two major genetically determined patterns of encainide metabolism. In over 90% of patients, the drug is rapidly and extensively metabolized with an elimination half-life of 1 to 2 hours. These patients convert encainide to two active metabolites, O-demethylencainide (ODE) and 3-methoxy-O-demethylencainide (MODE), that are more active (on a per mg basis) than encainide itself. In less than 10% of patients, metabolism of encainide is slower and the estimated encainide elimination half-life is 6 to 11 hours. Slow metabolism of encainide is associated with a diminished ability to metabolize debrisoquin. Enkaid should be administered only after appropriate clinical assessment and the dosage of Enkaid must be individualized for each patient on the basis of therapeutic response and tolerance. The recommended initial dosing schedule for adults is one 25 mg Enkaid capsule t.i.d. at approximately 8-hour intervals.

Nomifensine was developed by Hoechst AG as a potent inhibitor of noradrenaline, dopamine, and 5-HT uptake displayed antidepressant activity. It was first marketed in the UK in 1977 for the treatment of depression. Between 1977 and 1982 there were reports of hemolytic anemia in association with the drug, and this suspected adverse reaction was included in the 1981 edition of the data Sheet Compendium. FDA published a notice of its determination that Merital capsules were removed from the market for safety reasons.

Ceforanide is a new cephalosporin with a longer elimination half-life than any currently available cephalosporin. Its activity is very similar to that of cefamandole, a second-generation cephalosporin, except that ceforanide is less active against most gram-positive organisms. The bactericidal activity of ceforanide results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Ceforanide is primarily indicated in conditions like bone and joint infection, endocarditis, respiratory tract infections, skin infections, surgical infections, urinary tract infection. Rash and pruritus, and nausea, vomiting and other mild gastrointestinal side effects were noted in a few of the subjects but were mild and transient.
