Iodophthalein was used as an iodine-containing X-ray contrast agent in icteric subjects. There is also existed mention, that iodophthalein has also been used as a wound treatment, and for the treatment of intestinal catarrhs. But nowadays more modern drugs are being used.

Dequalinium salicylate is a bisquanternary quinolinium antiseptic which kills many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Dequalinium Salicylate have antibacterial (mediated by Dequalinium action) and anti-inflammatory activities (mediated by Salicylic acid action). Dequalinium has an antiseptic effect against a wide range of bacteria, yeasts, and some fungi and viruses. It kills the micro-organisms associated with various mild infections of the mouth and throat. Salicylic acid have direct anti-inflammatory activity mediated by inhibition of both types of cyclo-oxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) to decrease the formation of precursors of prostaglandins and thromboxanes from arachidonic acid.

Triptolide, the active component of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F has been used to treat autoimmune and inflammatory conditions for over two hundred years in traditional Chinese medicine. Triptolide possesses immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. Triptolide is a woody vine which is widely distributed in Eastern and Southern China. In China, triptolide is frequently used to treat autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases due to its favorable cost–benefit ratio. Commercial preparations of triptolide have been commonly used for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, nephritis and psoriasis.Triptolide has been demonstrated to exert novel chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects on rheumatoid arthritis. Triptolide has been used to treat ADPKD patients in clinical trials in China. Triptolide significantly protected glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ADPKD patients compared with placebo. Two recent small clinical studies have demonstrated tiptolide’s effectiveness against rheumatoid arthritis. A larger study confirmed the therapeutic effects of triptolide in the aforementioned studies. Triptolide is among the most powerful and broadly active antiinflammatory/immunomodulating natural products ever discovered. Triptolide acts at nanomolar concentrations and inhibits the production of various cellular targets including inflammatory cytokines, cyclooxygenase, inducible nitric oxide synthase and metalloproteinases and transcription factors. The anti-tumor activity of Triptolide in vitro and in various tumor-bearing animal models has been investigated for years, and many findings showed that Triptolide is a promising agent in anti-tumor therapy. Triptolide has been approved for Phase I clinical trials for the treatment of prostate cancer, but the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of TPL need to be further elucidated.
