Veliparib (ABT-888) is a potent inhibitor of PARP, has good oral bioavailability, can cross the blood-brain barrier, and potentiates temozolomide, platinums, cyclophosphamide, and radiation in syngeneic and xenograft tumor models. AbbVie is developing veliparib for the treatment of cancers. Clinical trials are underway worldwide, investigating veliparib primarily as part of a combination therapy in oncology indications such as brain, colorectal, melanoma, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancers.

Tanzisertib (CC-930) is a potent and selective inhibitor of JNK1/JNK2/JNK3 with IC50 values of 61 nM, 7 nM and 6 nM respectively. Tanzisertib had been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and discoid lupus erythematosus. But this research was discontinued in 2012. In 2011, the compound was granted orphan drug designation in the U.S. and the E.U. for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The compound was co-developed by Celgene and Ligand.

Pramiconazole is a novel azole with potent antifungal activity against yeasts, dermatophytes and many other fungal species. It is a new addition to the family of triazole antifungal agents that act by inhibiting fungal cell membrane ergosterol synthesis, thereby leading to increased cell permeability and destruction. In preclinical studies, pramiconazole exhibited similar or superior antifungal activity to ketoconazole and itraconazole, and selectively inhibited ergosterol synthesis with a broad spectrum activity. Pramiconazole was absorbed rapidly and had a long half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing. In phase I and II clinical trials, pramiconazole reduced the growth of Candida albicans, Malassezia globosa, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum, and was generally well tolerated. Pramiconazole is a well-tolerated and effective treatment for pityriasis versicolor.

Xidecaflur is one of the particularly preferred amine hydrofluorides that was used to the oral care composition. Information about the current use of this agent is not available.

IRAMPANEL, an oxazole derivative, is a dual non-competitive antagonist of the AMPA receptor and neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel blocker. It was under development for the potential treatment of stroke and other neurological disorders, including epilepsy and pain.

Nolomirole (CHF1035) is an orally active, selective dopamine agonist, primarily activating DA2- and alpha2 receptors, thereby inhibiting norepinephrine release, which may be beneficial in heart failure. Nolomirole is able to attenuate the heart failure signs in the monocrotaline-induced congestive heart failure. CHF1035 is a mixture of two enantiomers, CHF1800 (+) and CHF1810 (-). CHF1035 and its metabolite CHF1024 significantly decreased the IOP in rabbits, and are potential novel IOP lowering agents. Especially, CHF1035 produced a substantial decrease in IOP for a prolonged period of time, and thus may prove useful in glaucoma therapy. Nolomirole is a pre-synaptic stimulator of DA2-dopaminergic and α2-adrenergic receptors in peripheral sympathetic nerve endings. These receptors act as a negative feedback mechanism, inhibiting norepinephrine secretion. In early phase clinical studies lasting 1–3 months, nolomirole reduced peripheral systemic resistance and 24 hour blood pressure and increased cardiac output. In a study of 29 patients with heart failure, followed for 10 days, a reduction in plasma norepinephrine was demonstrated. In spite of the fact that Nolomirole was in clinical trials for the treatment of heart failure, its development was discontinued.

Apratastat (Tmi 005) was developed by Wyeth Research as a dual TNF-alpha-converting enzyme and matrix metalloprotease-13 inhibitor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Apratastat was in phase II clinical trials, but because of the lack of efficacy, this trial was terminated.

Benzethidine an opioid analgesic that was forbidden for use.

Oglemilast (GRC-3886), is a potent and selective PDE4 inhibitor (IC50: 2.5 nM (PDE4B) and 1.7 nM (PDE4D)). Oglemilast is in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Oglemilast was originally developed by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, and licensed to Forest (acquired by Actavis in 2014) for the rights in North America in 2004. Teijin Pharma obtained the rights of the compound in Japan in 2005.

Beloxepin (or ADL6906), a novel dual norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and serotonin receptor antagonist, was investigated for the treatment of the pain and Major depressive disorder, but these studies were discontinued.
