Mevastatin (compactin or ML-236B) is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. This drug induces apoptosis and arrest of cancer cells in G1 phase. Therapeutic effects of mevastatin on serum level of lipoproteins and unbiquinone-10 in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia were investigated. However, that study was discontinued. In addition, mevastatin was investigated for the treatment of melanoma. It was suggested, that mevastatin was unlikely to prevent melanoma at standard doses. However, higher doses could have a role to play in adjuvant therapy by inhibiting growth and invasion of melanoma cells. Also was revealed, that mevastatin increased histone deacetylase inhibitor, LBH589-induced cell death in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells.

LMI-070 is an experimental compound being developed by Novartis Pharma as a treatment for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It is a small-molecule drug which modifies alternative splicing of the SMN2 gene, bringing about increased levels of SMN protein. LMI-070 originated from a high-throughput phenotypic screening hit, pyridazine 2, and evolved via multiparameter lead optimization. In a severe mouse SMA model, LMI-070 treatment increased full-length SMN RNA and protein levels, and extended survival. LMI-070 is taken orally, usually in a liquid form once a week. It is in phase II clinical trial.

Octamoxine (ximaol), a monoamine oxidase inhibitor was used as an antidepressant to treat mental depression. Now this drug is no longer marketed.

AZD-3759 is an oral inhibitor of both wild-type and mutant EGFR with IC50 values in nanomolar range. The drug was discovered by AstraZeneca for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer with CNS metastases. AZD-3759 can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and was confirmed to be effective in vitro with NSCLC cell lines as well as in mouse model of brain metastases. AZD-3759 is currently in Phase 1 clinical trial.

Zoleprodolol was developed as an adrenoreceptor antagonist. Information about the current use of this compound is not available.

Lonaprofen is an analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agent.
