Conditions:

Dihydrocodeine is an opioid analgesic used as an alternative or adjunct to codeine to treat moderate to severe pain, severe dyspnea, and cough. It is semi-synthetic, and was developed in Germany in 1908 during an international search to find a more effective antitussive agent to help reduce the spread of airborne infectious diseases such as tuburculosis. It was marketed in 1911. Dihydrocodeine is metabolized to dihydromorphine -- a highly active metabolite with a high affinity for mu opioid receptors. Dihydrocodeine is used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, including post-operative and dental pain. It can also be used to treat chronic pain, breathlessness and coughing. In heroin addicts, dihydrocodeine has been used as a substitute drug, in doses up to 2500mg/day to treat addiction.
Levallorphan (brand name Lorfan), is an opiate antagonist of morphine family. Levallorphan was formerly used in general anesthesia, mainly to reverse the respiratory depression produced by opioid analgesics and barbiturates used for induction of surgical anaesthesia whilst maintaining a degree of analgesia. Levallorphan was also used in combination with opioid analgesics to reduce their side effects, mainly in obstetrics. The combination of levallorphan with pethidine was used so frequently, a standardized formulation was made available, known as Pethilorfan, by Roche Products Ltd in later 1950s. Is known to be used for narcotic overdose. Levallorphan is similar to naloxone but differs from naloxone in that it also possesses some agonist properties. It acts as an antagonist and partial agonist of the mu opioid receptor (MOR). Levallorphan can produce severe mental reactions at sufficient doses including hallucinations, dissociation, and other psychotomimetic effects, dysphoria, anxiety, confusion, dizziness, disorientation, derealization, feelings of drunkenness, and bizarre, unusual, or disturbing dreams.
Iproniazid is a non-selective, irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAO) of the hydrazine class. It was originally developed for the treatment of Tuberculosis, but in 1952, its antidepressant properties were discovered when researchers noted that patients given isoniazid became inappropriately happy. Iproniazid is no longer clinically prescribed and has been withdrawn due to incidences of hepatotoxicity.

Azacyclonol (aka gamma-pipradrol) is an ataractive agent; a compound which diminished hallucinations in psychotic individuals. It is sometimes referred to as a tranquilizer or antipsychotic, though it does not actually possess these properties. It was used in Europe during the 1950's for treatment of schizophrenia; likely to reduce the psychedelic effects of LSD and mescaline. However, it had mixed clinical effectiveness and did not gain widespread adoption and was eventually discontinued. Azacyclonol was sold under several trade names: Ataractan, Calmeran, Frenoton, Frenquel and Psychosan.

Reserpine is an alkaloid, isolated from the Rauwolfia serpentina plant and developed by Ciba pharma. Reserpine was approved by FDA for the treatment of hypertension and psychotic disorders. The drug exerts its effect by blocking two vesicular monoamine transporters, VMAT1 and VMAT2. The blockade results in vesicles that lose their ability to store neurotransmitter molecules. Neurotransmitters, thus retained in cytosol, are then neutralized by MAO.

Tricyclamol is a quaternary ammonium compound, which is a crystalline odorless substance, readily soluble in water. It may be given by mouth or by subcutaneous injection. Tricyclamol was used for its spasmolytic action on smooth muscle. In animals it inhibits the spasmogenic effects of acetylcholine (ACh), carbachol, pilocarpine and barium chloride. In relaxing ACh-induced spasm of isolated rabbit ileum the activities of the dextro and laevo isomers of tricyclamol were approximately 0.006 and 2 times that of atropine sulphate respectively. Further, in inhibiting the stretch reflex of isolated guinea-pig ileum the laevo isomer was much more active than the dextro and about twice as potent as the racemate. Tricyclamol blocks the superior cervical ganglion. Tricyclamol chloride has a marked effect in reducing the motility of the stomach and duodenum, and to a far greater extent than the results produced by hyoscyamine. This action may be of value in controlling the pain of peptic ulceration, since it is likely that the pain, at least in part, is due to spasm.

Aminopentamide is a potent antispasmodic agent. As a cholinergic blocking agent for smooth muscle, its action is similar to atropine. Aminopentamide hydrogen sulfate is marketed under the brand name Centrine indicated in the treatment of acute abdominal visceral spasm, pylorospasm or hypertrophic gastritis and associated nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea of the dogs and cats. Centrine effectively reduces the tone and amplitude of colonic contractions to a greater degree and for a more extended period than does atropine. Centrine effects a reduction in gastric secretion, a decrease in gastric acidity and a marked decrease in gastric motility. Aminopentamide is a nonselective muscarinic cholinergic .

Tolonium chloride (INN, also known as toluidine blue or TBO) is a phenothiazine that has been used as a hemostatic, a biological stain, and a dye for wool and silk. Tolonium chloride has also been used as a diagnostic aid for oral and gastric neoplasms and in the identification of the parathyroid gland in thyroid surgery. Toluidine blue has high affinity for acidic tissue components, thereby staining tissues rich in DNA and RNA. It has found wide applications both as vital staining in living tissues and as a special stain owing to its metachromatic property. Toluidine blue has been used in vivo to identify dysplasia and carcinoma of the oral cavity.

Chromate ion CR-51 is a radioactive chromium 51 in the form of sterile, nonpyrogenic aqueous solution of sodium chromate. It is a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical for intravenous administration. This agent provides Chromium 51 decays by electron capture and gamma emission with a physical half-life of 27.7 days. It is indicated for use in determining red blood cell volume or mass, studying red blood cell survival time (in conditions such as hemolytic anemia), and evaluating blood loss. No adverse reactions specifically attributable to Chromate ion CR-51 injection have been reported.
