Fosfonet sodium (or phosphonoacetate sodium), an organophosphorus compound, was found to be a specific inhibitor of the virus-induced DNA polymerases and thus could inhibit specifically the replication of herpes-viruses.

Carumonam is a monobactam antibacterial agent. It was highly active in vitro against members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Haemophilus influenzae and weakly active against Streptococcus pneumoniae, but it was not active against Staphylococcus aureus. The excellent activity of carumonam against Gram-negative bacteria is related to its high affinity for their penicillin-binding proteins. It is indicated for the treatment of urinary tract infections, chronic respiratory infections, biliary tract infections, peritonitis, sepsis. Another factor that contributes to the excellent activity of carumonam against Gram-negative bacteria is its resistance to beta-lactamases. Adverse effects of the carumonam were limited to phlebitis at the intravenous infusion site; bloody diarrhea.

Cefpimizole is an antibiotic of broad spectrum developed in Japan for the treatment of such conditions as uncomplicated gonorrhea and gynecologic infections. The drug was tested in clinical trials, however, its development was terminated.

Bunamidine is a anti-parasitic drug, which was approved by FDA for the treatment of tapeworms in cats and dogs (Scolaban 400 tablets).

Dequalinium is a quaternary ammonium cation commonly available as the dichloride salt. Dequalinium chloride 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. Also, Dequalinium chloride is active against the bacteria which cause bacterial vaginosis. Dequalinium Chloride (DECA) is a PKC inhibitor and high-affinity blocker CNGA1 channel, and nearly as effective on heteromeric CNGA1+CNGB1 channels. Common side effects are: vaginal discharge; vaginal itching or vaginal burning; vaginal yeast infection (thrush); tender tongue.

Apalcillin is a naphthydridine derivative of ampicillin. Apalcillin has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity that is very similar to that of piperacillin, except that apalcillin is significantly more active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. Against Acinetobacter spp., apalcillin is uniquely active, compared to the other penicillins and comparison drugs. Strains producing high amounts of β-lactamases do become resistant to apalcillin. PAH (p-aminohippurate) clearance was significantly decreased during apalcillin infusion. Apalcillin appeared to compete with PAH for proximal tubular secretion but induced no further renal dysfunction.

Clamoxyquin is an antiamebic and antidiarrheal agent. Clamoxyquin is usually used as the pamoate or hydrochloride salt. It is a veterinary antiparasitic drug used to treat salmonids for the myxozoan parasite Myxobolus cerebralis. Dietary inclusion of several anti-coccidial drugs, including clamoxyquin, proguanil and fumagillin, has been found effective against myxozoan infections in finfish.

Clevudine (also known as L-FMAU) is a nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, which inhibits the DNA synthesis activity of the hepatitis B virus polymerase. The drug was approved in Korea and Philippines and is being marketed under the names Levovir and Revovir. The drug is indicated in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Upon administration, clevudine is metabolized to the active metabolite, clevudine triphosphate, which is responsible for the inhibition of viral polymerase.

Cefsulodin is a third-generation of cephalosporin antibiotic with a narrow spectrum of activity. It has a specific activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cefsulodin’s targets are bacterial penicillin binding proteins. Drug is indicated for the treatment of infections of lower respiratory tract, skin and skin structures, urinary tract, bone and joint; treatment of gynecological infections; treatment of intra-abdominal infections; treatment of septicemia and CNS infections including meningitis caused by susceptible strains of specific microorganisms. Cefsulodin appears to be well tolerated and relatively free of any significant toxicity except for nausea and vomiting.
