Meglumine acetrizoate is a contrast agent used as a component of radiopaque medium in diagnostic procedures such as hysterosalpingography.

A potent, selective and orally active receptor antagonist of leukotriene D4, verlukast (MK-571), was discovered and developed from a styrylquinoline lead structure based on a hypothetical model of the leukotriene D4 receptor. MK-571 blocks the action of LTD4 in animals and man, and is effective in a number of animal models of antigen-induced bronchoconstriction at plasma concentration at or below 2 ug/mL. MK-571 also blocks antigen-induced asthmatic responses in man. MK-571 is a potent and selective leukotriene D4 (LTD4) antagonist and ABCC multidrug resistance protein 1(MRP1) inhibitor. The cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs), LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4, mediate their actions through two distinct G-protein coupled receptors. LTD4 is the preferred ligand for the CysLT1 receptor, whereas LTC4 and LTD4 bind with approximately equal affinity to the CysLT2 receptor. MK-571 is a selective, orally active CysLT1 receptor antagonist. It blocks the binding of LTD4, but not LTC4, to human and guinea pig lung membranes with Ki values of 0.22 nM and 2.1 nM, respectively. MK-571 effectively blocks LTD4 activation of recombinant human and mouse CysLT1 receptors but is ineffective at blocking LTC4 or LTD4 activation of the recombinant human or murine CysLT2 receptors.

Benidipine is an orally triple L-, T-, and N-type calcium channel blocker for the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris synthesized and developed by Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., Ltd. Benidipine, approved in Japan in November 1991, has become one of the three best selling CCBs and is highly useful as a potent, long-lasting antihypertensive and antianginal agent.

Bambuterol is an active precursor of the selective beta2-adrenergic agonist terbutaline. Bambuterol is the bis-N,N-dimethyl-carbamate of terbutaline. Bambuterol is a remarkably selective and potent inhibitor of cholinesterase. BAMBEC (Bambuterol hydrochloride) oral solution or tablets are indicated for the management of asthma, bronchospasm and/or reversible airways obstruction.

Cinromide possesses antiepileptic activity in various animal models. However, in the experiments for human, this drug had a very limited clinical usefulness and was withdrawn from testing by its manufacturer. The lack of an antiepileptic response may have been due to factors other than species differences but indicates that a positive result of a drug in animal models is not the sole factor necessary to predict beneficial antiepileptic activity in humans. In addition, cinromide was studied for the patients with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, as a result, there was no difference between cinromide and placebo in terms of seizure reduction or global evaluations.

Bevantolol (INN) was a drug candidate for angina and hypertension that acted as both a beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker. Animal experiments confirm both agonist and antagonist effects on alpha-receptors, in addition to antagonist activity at beta-1 receptors. By binding and antagonizing beta-1 receptors Bevantolol inhibits the normal normal epinephrine-mediated sympathetic actions such as increased heart rate. This has the effect of decreasing preload and blood pressure. Bevantolol was discovered and developed by Warner-Lambert but in January 1989 the company announced that it had withdrawn the New Drug Application. As of 2016 it wasn't marketed in the US, UK, or Europe.

Flufenamic acid is a member of the anthranilic acid derivatives class of NSAID drugs. Like other members of the class, it is a COX inhibitor and prevents the formation of prostaglandins. Flufenamic acid is known to bind to and reduce the activity of prostaglandin F synthase and activate TRPC6.

2,4,6-Tribromo-m-cresol (Tribromometacresol), an a hydroxytoluene, is an antifungal agent. It was used for the treatment of dermatomycoses.

Manidipine is a lipophilic, third-generation dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist with a high degree of selectivity for the vasculature, thereby inducing marked peripheral vasodilation with negligible cardiodepression. In addition, manidipine does not significantly affect norepinephrine levels, suggesting a lack of sympathetic activation. It has a gradual onset of action and a long duration of action enabling once daily administration. Furthermore, manidipine dilates both the efferent and the afferent renal arterioles and appears to have beneficial renal effects unrelated to its antihypertensive effect. Once-daily oral manidipine is an effective and generally well tolerated antihypertensive agent for younger and elderly adult patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension. In particular, in a large double-blind trial, the incidence of ankle oedema was significantly lower in manidipine than in amlodipine recipients. Manidipine is also effective in hypertensive patients with comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or renal impairment, and appears to improve insulin sensitivity without affecting metabolic function. Thus, manidipinerepresents a first-line treatment option for patients with essential mild-to-moderate hypertension.

Toloxatone is an antidepressant launched in 1984 in France for the treatment of depression. It is a selective reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (RIMA).
