Piridicillin is the semi-synthetic penicillin. It has exhibited broad-spectrum activity in vitro against gram-positive cocci, except penicillin G-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and against gram-negative bacilli. Piridicillin is reported to be more active in-vitro than piperacillin, azlocillin or ticarcillin against Ps. aeruginosa. It is unstable at alkaline pH and displays marked inoculum independence.

Mofoxime is a phenoxyalkylcarboxylic acid derivative patented by Orchimed S. A. as a neurotropic and anti-inflammatory compound.

Cebaracetam is piperazinylpyrrolidinone derivative patented by pharmaceutical company Ciba-Geigy A.-G. for treatment of amnesia and retention defects.

Etacepride is a neuroleptic and antiemetic agent.

Dutogliptin (PHX-1149T) is a small-molecule dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor for the potential oral treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). DPP-4 quickly degrades the insulin secretory hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide and glucagon-like peptide-1; thus inhibiting the degradation of these hormones is a viable treatment option for patients with T2DM. In preclinical studies, dutogliptin potently inhibited DPP-4 and, in a model of T2DM, treatment with dutogliptin improved glucose homeostasis. Pharmacokinetic analyses in animals, healthy individuals and patients with T2DM demonstrated that drug exposure increased in a dose-dependent manner. Results from phase II clinical trials indicated that once-daily dutogliptin, in combination with other oral diabetes therapies, reduces postprandial blood glucose and HbA1c levels, both indicators of successful diabetes management. The incidence of adverse events was similar in treatment and placebo groups, with slightly more headache, arthralgia, sinusitis, and dizziness occurring in the 400 mg dutogliptin group compared with placebo. Phase II clinical trial for the myocardial infarction treatment is underway.

Cinaproxen is naproxen derivative developed by Nicox S.A. for oxidative stress prevention and treatment.

Cefuracetime is an impurity of Cefuroxime, which is an antibacterial agent.

Diphoxazide is the anticonvulsant and psychosedative agent.

Loviride (R 89439) is a non-nucleoside inhibitor of reverse transcriptase. It inhibits virion and recombinant reverse transcriptase of HIV-1. It was being studied in the combination therapy of HIV infection with other anti-HIV agents.

Salnacedin (also known as G 201) was developed as a topical anti-inflammatory agent; Salnacedin participated in phase II clinical trials in the USA for the treatment of dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis. However, all these studies were discontinued.
