Oxaloacetate (OAA), a salt of oxaloacetic acid, is a metabolic intermediate in many processes, e.g., urea cycle, gluconeogenesis, etc. that occur in animals. Experiments on animal have revealed that OAA was able to protect hepatocytes from hypoxia and liver ischemia/reperfusion injury. OAA also possesses a neuroprotective effect against ischemic injury, which strengthens the likelihood of its future applicability as a novel neuroprotective agent for the treatment of ischemic stroke patients. In addition, experiments on adipose stromal cells have shown that OAA directly protected cerebellar granule neurons from apoptosis induced by serum and potassium deprivation.

Cloquinate is an amoebicidal drug, discovered in the 1950s. It is a salt of 7-iodo-8-oxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (Yatren) with resochin. Cloquinate was marketed by Bayer under tradename Resotren. In clinical trials, it was demonstrated to treat abdominal and hepatic symptoms of amoebiasis.

Orantinib (SU-6668) is an orally bioavailable receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Orantinib binds to and inhibits the autophosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), thereby inhibiting angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Orantinib also inhibits the phosphorylation of the stem cell factor receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit, often expressed in acute myelogenous leukemia cells. Orantinib was in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of breast cancer. It was also in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, this research was terminated in 2014. The compound was originally developed by Sugen (subsidiary of Pfizer). In 1998, a co-development agreement took place between Sugen and Taiho for the compound.
