Cinchonidine is an alkaloid found in Cinchona officinalis and Gongronema latifolium. Cinchonidine is an antimalarial drug which has been used clinically in malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Cinchonidine is reported as an ingredient of Quinimax in a number of countries. Quinimax is a combination of four alkaloids (quinine, quinidine, cinchoine and cinchonidine).

Kainic acid (kainate) is a natural marine acid present in some seaweed. Kainic acid is a potent neuroexcitatory amino acid that acts by activating receptors for glutamate, the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Kainic acid is commonly injected into laboratory animal models to study the effects of experimental ablation. Kainic acid is a direct agonist of the glutamic kainate receptors and large doses of concentrated solutions produce immediate neuronal death by overstimulating neurons to death. Such damage and death of neurons is referred to as an excitotoxic lesion. Thus, in large, concentrated doses kainic acid can be considered a neurotoxin, and in small doses of dilute solution kainic acid will chemically stimulate neurons. Kainic acid is utilised in primary neuronal cell cultures and acute brain slice preparations [5] to study of the physiological effect of excitotoxicity and assess the neuroprotective capabilities of potential therapeutics. Kainic acid is a potent central nervous system excitant that is used in epilepsy research to induce seizures in experimental animals, at a typical dose of 10–30 mg/kg in mice. In addition to inducing seizures, kainic acid is excitotoxic and epileptogenic. Kainic acid induces seizures via activation of kainate receptors containing the GluK2 subunit and also through activation of AMPA receptors, for which it serves as a partial agonist.

Homochlorcyclizine (INN) is an antihistamine which has been marketed in Japan since 1965. It is used in the treatment of Itching sensation resulting from skin diseases (eczema or dermatitis, pruritus, drug eruption, toxic erythema and infant strophulus), urticaria and allergic rhinitis. Homochlorcyclizine hydrochloride possesses several pharmacological properties: 1) inhibits bradykinin-induced contractions of isolated guinea pig ileum; 2)partially blocks SRS-A (slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis )- induced contractions in isolated guinea pig il eum. 3) Homochlorcyclizine hydrochloride completely inhibits histamine-induced contractions at a concentration of 0.1μg/mL, while it completely inhibits serotonin or acetylcholine- induced contractions at a concentration of 1μg/mL.

Octopamine is an organic chemical closely related to norepinephrine. In many types of invertebrates it functions as a neurotransmitter. Octopamine is known to exert adrenergic effects in mammals although specific octopamine receptors have been cloned only in invertebrates. It has been shown that octopamine can stimulate alpha(2)-adrenoceptors (ARs) in Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with human alpha(2)-ARs. Octopamine stimulates lipolysis through beta(3)-rather than beta(1)-or beta(2)-AR activation in white adipocytes from different mammalian species. Octopamine activates only beta(3)-ARs and is devoid of alpha(2)-adrenergic agonism. Thus, octopamine could be considered as an endogenous selective beta(3)-AR agonist. In humans Octopamine is a trace amine found endogenously in the human brain where it interacts with signalling of catecholamines; it is structurally similar to synephrine and tyramine, being a metabolite of the latter (via dopamine β-hydroxylase) and substrate for the synthesis of the former (via phenethanolamine N-methyltransferase[3]) while being perhaps the closest in structure to noradrenaline. Octopamine is found in the bitter orange similar to many biogenic amines related to L-tyrosine that are used as dietary supplements, this includes synephrine and hordenine. p-Octopamine HCl (Norphen) was studied in the late 1960’s and 1970’s as a drug for the treatment of hypotensive regulatory and circulatory disorders. Octopamine was used as a nootropic. All optical isomers (enantiomers) of octopamine are on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) 2014 list of substances prohibited in competition.

Etilamfetamine (Apetinil) is a stimulant drug of amphetamine chemical class. It is an N-substituted amphetamine with an ethyl group on the amphetamine backbone. It was used as an anorectic or appetite suppressant. Etilamfetamine is a psychoactive drug, which can be used as a recreational drug. Etilamfetamine has been abused as a “designer drug” alternative to amphetamine and possibly methamphetamine. It is a dopamine releasing agent.

Sucrosofate (sucrose octasulfate) is a class of organic compounds known as disaccharide sulfates carrying one or more sulfate group on a sugar unit. It is used to encapsulate some anticancer drugs in liposomes allowing for highly active formulations against solid tumors and immunotargeting to cancer-overexpressing cell surface receptors. ONIVYDE (liposomal irinotecan) for intravenous use encapsulates an aqueous space containing irinotecan in a gelated or precipitated state as the sucrose octasulfate salt was initially approved by FDA in 1996 for treatment of pancreatic cancer. Sucrose octasulfate (SOS), a chemical analogue of heparin, has been demonstrated to activate fibroblast growth factors signalling pathways and SOS-mediated dimerization of FGF1 was observed. SOS can suppress thrombin generation in plasma that suggests a potential for oversulfated disaccharides in controlling heparin cofactor II -regulated thrombin generation.

Paramethasone is a glucocorticoid. It exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant actions. Paramethasone stimulates the synthesis of enzymes needed to decrease anti-inflammatory response. It suppresses the immune system by reducing activity and volume of the lymphatic system, thus producing lymphocytopenia decreasing passage of immune complexes and possibly by depressing reactivity of tissue to antigen-antibody interactions.
