Doxylamine is an antihistamine commonly used as a sleep aid. This drug is also used to relieve symptoms of hay fever (allergic rhinitis), hives (rash or itching), and other allergic reactions. Doxylamine is a member of the ethanolamine class of antihistamines and has anti-allergy power far superior to virtually every other antihistamine on the market, with the exception of diphenhydramine (Benadryl). It is also the most powerful over-the-counter sedative available in the United States, and more sedating than many prescription hypnotics. In a study, it was found to be superior to even the barbiturate, phenobarbital for use as a sedative. Doxylamine is also a potent anticholinergic. Like other antihistamines, doxylamine acts by competitively inhibiting histamine at H1 receptors. It also has substantial sedative and anticholinergic effects. Used alone as a short-term sleep aid, in combination with other drugs as a night-time cold and allergy relief drug. Also used in combination with Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) to prevent morning sickness in pregnant women.

Dibucaine is used as a local anesthetic for surface anesthesia. It is one of the most potent and toxic of the long-acting local anesthetics and its parenteral use is restricted to spinal anesthesia. Dibucaine is used to temporarily relieve pain and itching due to: hemorrhoids or other anorectal disorders, sunburn, minor burns, minor cuts; scrapes, insect bites, minor skin irritation. This drug acts via blocking of nerve impulses by decreasing the neuronal membrane's permeability to sodium ions through sodium channel blocking. This reversibly stabilizes the membrane and inhibits depolarization, resulting in the failure of a propagated action potential and subsequent conduction blockade.

Carfentanil is a synthetic fentanyl analog. It is a mu-opioid receptor agonist with an estimated analgesic potency approximately 10,000 times that of morphine and 20-30 times that of fentanyl, based on animal studies. Receptor binding studies have shown that carfentanil binds selectively and competitively to the μ subtype of opioid receptors relative to δ and κ opioid receptors. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that the pharmacodynamic effects, such as analgesia and constipation, produced by carfentanil are similar to other μ opioid agonists. Its extreme potency and propensity to produce rapid and profound respiratory depression has prompted recommendations that an opioid antagonist, such as naloxone or naltrexone, be available whenever carfentanil is used or suspected to be present. Carfentanil (Wildnil) has been used in veterinary as a prescription-only general anesthetic for intramuscular injection in large animals. Carfentanil is no longer FDA-approved for use in animals after Wildlife Laboratories withdrew the application for Wildnil. Carfentanyl is increasingly involved in opioid overdose deaths among illicit opioid users.

Thiacetarsamide is a drug containing trivalent arsenic. In the USA it was used for the treatment of Heartworm Infection in dogs and cats under tradename Caparsolate, however, it was discontinued because of the availability of safer alternatives. The mechanism of action for thiacetarsamide is modulation of glucose uptake and metabolism; inhibition of glutathione reductase, and alteration of the structure and function of the surface of the intestinal epithelium of the parasites.

THIALBARBITAL is a barbiturate derivative with sedative effects. Barbiturates have hypnotic properties and are used as active moiety on central nervous system. Thialbarbital was synthesized in the 1960s. It was used primarily as a surgical anesthesia. Thialbarbital causes marked depression of the activity of the reticular formation and only slight depression of cortical activity. Thialbarbital is short acting and has less of a tendency to induce respiratory depression than other barbiturate derivatives such as pentobarbital.

Etorphine was the first potent opiate agonist employed primarily for use in non-domestic and wild species. Etorphine was 500 times as potent as morphine, with a very rapid onset and short duration of action. In morphine-dependent subjects, etorphine suppressed abstinence but for a shorter period than morphine. Etorphine is a full opiate agonist and binds to multiple opiate sites in the central nervous system. It is believed to produce its clinical effects through binding the µ-, δ-, and κ- opiate sites. It has a potent effect on depressing the respiratory centers of the CNS thus resulting in apnea being commonly seen in immobilized animals. Etorphine revolutionized the ability of biologists and veterinarians to safely capture and restrain many species that previously could not be handled. Etorphine is not currently commercially available due to lack of production by the manufacturer.

As a narcotic antagonist similar in action to naloxone, DIPRENORPHINE is used to remobilize animals after analgesia by super-potent opioid analgesics such as etorphine and carfentanil. It is not used in humans. Diprenorphine binds approximately equally to the three subtypes of opioid receptors (mu, delta, and kappa) and antagonizes them. This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenanthrenes and derivatives. These are polycyclic compounds containing a phenanthrene moiety, which is a tricyclic aromatic compound with three non-linearly fused benzene. The therapeutic efficacy of many other compounds can be decreased when used in combination with Diprenorphine (54 compounds mentioned on www.drugbank.ca).

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.
