Lurtotecan is a semisynthetic analog of camptothecin with antineoplastic activity. It is an inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I. Liposomal formulation of lurtotecan was being studied in the treatment of cancer. Lurtotecan development has been discontinued.

Damotepine is a derivative of thiepin, structurally related to doxepin. Damotepine was discovered by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Geigy A.G. and was evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of anxiety in the early 1970s.

Sulrnazole (the former AR-L 115 BS) is a benzimidazole derivative with positive inotropic, positive chronotropic and vasodilator effects. Sulrnazole also has been shown to improve cardiac index and reduce pulmonary capillary wedge pressure without significant change in heart rate or arterial pressure. Intravenous administration caused a 217 per cent increase in cardiac output with a 25 per cent decrease in pulmonary wedge pressure. Short-term oral administration resulted in a 317 per cent increase in cardiac index and a 317 per cent increase in ejection fraction. Side effects have included visual blurring and transient colour blindness. Sulmazol has been demonstrated to improve regional wall motion in patients with ischemic heart disease and to abolish pacing-induced ischemia. Sulrnazole is an A1 adenosine receptor antagonist. It is also a phosphodiesterase inhibitor.

ilofungin is a narrow spectrum antimycotic patented by a pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Co in 1981. Cilofungin is particularly active against the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Cilofungin action is exerted through inhibition of the synthesis of (1,3)-beta-glucan, an essential cell wall component, it invades a fungus' ability to synthesize cell walls.

Pleuromulin (pleuromulitin) is a natural antibiotic isolated from Basidiomycete Pleurotus. Pleuromulitin exhibits activity mainly against gram-positive bacteria including S. aureus, Klebasiella pneumoniae and Bacillus Subtilis. Pleuromulin is an organic compound which is not reported to be used in as a drug however its derivatives have been used in treatment of infections. The first pleuromulitin that was approved in 1979 for use in veterinary medicine was semi-synthetic derivative tiamulin. Semisynthetic pleuromutilin retapamulin (ALTABAX, GlaxoSmithKline) was the first approved for topical use in humans in 2007. Another derivative of pleuromulin, Lefamulin has been successfully tested in phase 1 clinical trial for systemic use in patients (Nabriva Therapeutics AG).

Glysobuzole (stabinol) is a sulfonamide derivative with antihyperglycemic activity. Like sulfonylureas, glysobuzole is able to lower blood glucose levels by increasing the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells.

Mivobulin is a synthetic water-soluble colchicine analog with the broad antitumor activity that competitively binds tubulin at the colchicine-binding site and inhibits tubulin polymerization. Cancer cells exposed to Mivobulin isethionate accumulate in the M phase of the cell cycle and subsequently die. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that Mivobulin isethionate is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Importantly, Mivobulin isethionate demonstrated significant antitumor activity in a broad spectrum of murine and human tumor models that were cross-resistant to vincristine, cisplatin, vinblastine, navelbine, and doxorubicin and in tumor cell lines exhibiting multidrug resistance owing to P-glycoprotein overexpression. In animal studies, the activity of Mivobulin isethionate was largely independent of the route of drug administration but favored a prolonged treatment schedule. Unfortunately, in clinical trials, Mivobulin fail to demonstrate the significant activity
