LANPROSTON is an analog of prostaglandin F2 alpha. It is used as veterinary medicament.

Talotrexin (also known as PT-523) was developed as a nonpolyglutamatable antifolate drug for the treatment of various types of tumors. It is known that antifolates are a class of cytotoxic or antineoplastic agents, which inhibit or prevent the maturation and proliferation of malignant cells. Talotrexin was studied in clinical trials for the treatment of brain and central nervous system tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, unspecified childhood solid tumor. However, this study was withdrawn because of toxicity. In addition, was studied in phase I/II multicenter clinical trial in patients with non-small-cell Lung carcinoma, this study was also withdrawn. The withdrawal was related to incidences of dose-limiting mucositis and myelosuppression. However, on May 22, 2006, was announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted orphan drug designation for talotrexin in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Colfenamate is an antypyretic and antiinflammatory compound developed by the German company Tropon, GmbH.

Etalocib (LY-293111 or VML 295) is a potent and orally active leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist of the biphenylphenol class. It efficiently blocks neutrophil activation and subsequent inflammation. Additionally, it exerts antineoplastic properties through induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in tumor cells. Etalocib was being developed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and solid tumors.

Leteprinim is the synthetic purine. It has both anti-excitotoxic neuroprotective properties and enhances the regenerative response of surviving neurons within the central nervous system. Moreover, the experiments in vitro and in vivo reveal that leteprinim can be administered after an excitotoxic event and still produce neuroprotection. This is clearly crucial for any drug designed to treat stroke or any acute central nervous system injury. Therefore, leteprinim has the pharmacological properties required by a drug intended to treat acute stroke as well as a spinal injury. It may be useful in reducing brain injury; it possesses clinical relevance for the treatment of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in the newborn. Leteprinim has the therapeutic potential for use in clinical trials in the treatment of neuronal deterioration in depression.

Clobuzarit (Clozic) is a compound originally developed for the treatment of atherosclerosis. It was later found to possess antirheumatic and weak anti-inflammatory properties and was evaluated as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. Adverse side effects observed in clinical trials have forced the withdrawal of clobuzarit from further consideration.

Cliprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

Vadimezan (5,6-dimethyl(xanthenone-4-acetic acid), ASA404, DMXAA) is a fused tricyclic analogue of flavone acetic acid with potential antineoplastic activity. In pre-clinical mouse tumour models it was demonstrated that administration of Vadimezan rapidly leads to disruption of the existing vasculature in the tumour and consequent haemorrhagic necrosis of the tumour. This was consistent with the finding that a single dose of Vadimezan induced a prolonged reduction in the growth of xenografted tumours in animal models. The ability to disrupt the vasculature in these pre-clinical models has been attributed to a rapid induction of cytokines, particularly TNFα (tumour necrosis factor α), serotonin and nitric oxide, resulting in hemorrhagic necrosis and a decrease in angiogenesis. Despite the fact that the molecular targets for the drug remained unknown, the promising pre-clinical results led to Vadimezan being selected for clinical development. Results of Phase I trials showed some restriction of tumour blood flow within 24 h of treatment, although this was not as dramatic as seen in pre-clinical models. Unlike the animal models, there was also very little evidence for the rapid death of blood vessels or for increases in TNFα levels in human tumors. No difference in antitumour activity, cytokine induction or toxicity was observed between two parallel Phase I trials, one dosed weekly and the other dosed every 3 weeks. Therefore the drug proceeded to Phase II clinical trials, dosed every 21 days in combination with chemotherapeutic agents. These trials indicated the drug had small benefits in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer and prostate cancer. However, a subsequent Phase III clinical trial was not able to reproduce this response and clinical development was halted.

Lucimycin (lucensomycin or etruscomycin) is a polyene antibiotic with antimycotic activity. Originally it was isolated from Streptomyces lucensis n. sp.

Ditiocarb, the sodium salt of diethyldithiocarbamate, is a drug with strong antioxidant capacity and chelating activities. It improves the depressed immune responses of newborn and aged mice and mice that are treated with chemotherapy or irradiation. Ditiocarb prevents cisplatin nephrotoxicity in animals without reducing the drug's antitumor activity. Ditiocarb has therapeutic activity in the LP-BM5 murine retrovirus-induced immunodeficiency disease. In that AIDS model, it reduces lymphadenopathy and hypergammaglobulinemia, restores immunocompetence, and prolongs survival. Ditiocarb was safe and reduced the incidence of opportunistic infections in patients with symptomatic HIV infection but ditiocarb had no positive effect on HIV patients. The administration of ditiocarb did not induce any major adverse clinical or biological reactions. Sixty-four patients with nonmetastatic high-risk breast cancer were randomized in a double-blind trial of adjuvant immunotherapy with sodium ditiocarb (DDC) versus placebo. At 6 years, overall survival was 81% in DDC group versus 55%.
