Ribuvaptan (BAY 868050) is a vasopressin receptor antagonist that has been developed for treatment of heart failure. No information on current use is available.

Seviteronel (VT-464) is a 17,20-lyase selective inhibitor of CYP17A1, which plays key roles in adrenal and intratumoral de novo biosynthesis of androgens. The inhibition of 17,20-lyase activity by seviteronel (VT-464) is enough to reduce androgen levels, and its preserving of 17alpha-hydroxylase activity largely avoids interference with the production of other steroidal hormones. Seviteronel (VT-464) also has shown AR-antagonist activity independent of CYP17 enzyme inhibition. It is currently in phase 2 clinical trials as a therapeutic for castration-resistant prostate cancer patients.

Relamorelin (also known as BIM28131 or RM-131) is a synthetic, selective, prokinetic ghrelin analog that was developed for treatment of gastrointestinal motility disorders (such as chronic constipation and diabetic gastroparesis). Relamorelin was shown to relief symptoms such as nausea, fullness, bloating and abdominal pain. It is safe and well-tolerated in healthy individuals, and has no neurological or cardiovascular adverse effects, making this a promising drug with an advantage over other available therapies. A phase III clinical trial comparing the efficacy of relamorelin with that of placebo in participants with diabetic gastroparesis (DG) was still ongoing in 2019.

Vilaprisan, a small molecule progesterone receptor antagonist is being developed by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals (formerly Bayer Schering Pharma) for the treatment of endometriosis and uterine leiomyoma. Hormonal imbalance observed in women with endometriosis is a potential target for treating endometriosis. Vilaprisan is a highly selective steroidal progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM). It is a partial agonist of progesterone receptor, which means that the drug activates progesterone receptors to a certain degree upon binding. This triggers a cascade of biochemical reactions that result in the suppression of prostaglandin production. This, in turn, relieves symptoms such as pain and bleeding. Modulating progesterone by taking vilaprisan might help in treating endometriosis over the long term. Phase I and II studies give encouraging results on the efficacy of vilaprisan at different doses. Like other SPRMs, vilaprisan induces benign changes of endometrium (PR modulator-associated endometrial changes, PAECs). These disappear as treatment is discontinued. Unlike GnRHa treatment, neither UPA nor vilaprisan induce hypoestrogenism and associated symptoms. Phase III studies are ongoing to confirm efficacy and safety of vilaprisan in long-term treatment of symptomatic fibroids.

DICHLORISONE is a synthetic corticosteroid used topically for its glucocorticoid activity in the treatment of various skin disorders.

Endrysone is a glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and antiallergic properties. It is used topically for skin conditions as an ophthalmic anti-inflammatory agent.

Tipredane is one of the compounds of a new series of sulfur-containing steroids synthesized at The Squibb Institute for Medical Research and is being developed for topical treatment of human dermatoses. Tipredane is structurally unique in that the classical l7-beta two-carbon side chain and the 17-alpha hydrogen of the steroid have been replaced by two alkylthio substituents. Tipredane has been shown to possess moderate to potent anti-inflammatory activity in various animal models, and to exhibit favorable separation of local anti-inflammatory activity from adverse systemic effects in both animals and humans. After oral administration, [3H]tipredane was rapidly absorbed, metabolized, and excreted into urine and feces. Metabolism of tipredane was rapid and complex, with significant species differences, although the disposition in rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys seemed to be similar to humans. Tipredane had been investigated as the therapeutic agent for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma and skin disorders. However, this development was discontinued.

Edogesterone (PH-218) is steroid with progestational and antiandrogenic properties.

Lixivaptan is an orally-active, vasopressin 2 receptor antagonist. It is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia, associated with heart failure (HF) and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Adverse events likely to be result of the pharmacologic action of lixivaptan are: constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, insomnia. Grapefruit juice significantly increased the extent of lixivaptan absorption as compared to lixivaptan administered under fasted conditions but not under fed conditions. Lixivaptan Cmax and AUC∞ increased by 2.4-fold and 3.2-fold, respectively, when lixivaptan was administered with ketoconazole (the same in case of Simvastatin).
