Cicrotoic acid is a biochemical drug that acts on bile flow and liquid composition of human bile.

Ioprocemic Acid is hydrocinnamic acid derivative patented by Schering-Kahlbaum A.-G. as radiographic contrast medium for liver imaging

Iodofiltic Acid I-123 is a single-photon branching free fatty acid radiopharmaceutical with potential application in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Assessment of fatty acid metabolism by radionuclide techniques has a potential role for the early detection of myocardial ischaemia and the assessment of the severity of ischaemic heart disease. The Iodofiltic Acid I-123 scan is preferable because it can provide suitable information for risk stratification just after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) without requiring the patient to exercise; it can also detect previous ischaemic insult even after recovery of myocardial perfusion, the so- called "ischaemic memory".

Iosumetic Acid is a triiodoaminoisophthalic acid derivative patented by Schering A.-G. as contrast medium for direct and indirect lymphography.

Iotrizoic Acid is acylated amino acid derivative patented by Swiss pharmaceutical company Cilag-Chemie A.-G. as x-ray contrasting agent

Iobutoic Acid is a Triiodo-hydroxybenzamide derivative patented by Laboratoires Andre Guerbet as x-ray contrast media in cholecystography and as a choleretic agent.

Betulinic acid (BA) is a plant-derived pentacyclic triterpenoid that exerts potent anti-cancer effects in vitro and in vivo. It`s anticancer property is linked to its ability to induce apoptotic cell death in cancer cells by triggering the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. In contrast to the cytotoxicity of betulinic acid against a variety of cancer types, normal cells and tissue are relatively resistant to betulinic acid, pointing to a therapeutic window. Compounds that exert a direct action on mitochondria present promising experimental cancer therapeutics, since they may trigger cell death under circumstances in which standard chemotherapeutics fail. Thus, mitochondrion-targeted agents such as betulinic acid hold great promise as a novel therapeutic strategy in the treatment of human cancers. Betulinic acid has antiretroviral, antimalarial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Betulinic acid exerts its inhibitory effect by preventing topoisomerase I-DNA interaction as a result of which the 'cleavable complex' is not formed. In consequence, it also acts as an antagonist to camptothecin-mediated cleavage. The antitumor pharmacological effects of BA consist of triggering apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway, regulating the cell cycle and the angiogenic pathway via factors, including specificity protein transcription factors, cyclin D1 and epidermal growth factor receptor, inhibiting the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and nuclear factor‑κB signaling pathways, preventing the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, and affecting the expression of topoisomerase I, p53 and lamin B1. Betulinic Acid has also been used in trials studying the treatment of Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome. Betulinic acid acts as anti-melanoma agent through inhibiting aminopeptidase N activity with IC50 of 7.3 uM. Betulinic acid is an inhibitor of HIV-1 with EC50 of 1.4 uM.

BLI 489 was developed by Wyeth as a 6-methylidene-penem β-lactamase inhibitor for the treatment of bacterial infections and urinary tract infections. BLI-489 has shown the promising clinical data, however, development of this drug, was discontinued.

Flavodic acid is a synthetic hydrosoluble derivative of natural flavonoids. It has been shown to reduce capiliary fragility and permeability. Sodium flavodate was marketed by the Italian pharmaceutical company Farmaceutici under tradename Pericel.
