Resiniferatoxin (RTX or RTX-107) is a vanilloid derived from a cactus-like plant (Euphoria resiniferous) and has anti-inflammatory activity. This compound is an agonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). Resiniferatoxin produces analgesia by desensitizing the TRPV1 receptor. Findings of several studies have suggested a potential therapeutic use of the anti-inflammatory effect of resiniferatoxin. Phase I and II clinical trials have been completed or are underway, evaluating the safety and efficacy of resiniferatoxin in pain-related disorders such as osteoarthritis and cancers.

SOR-C13, is a novel, short, synthetic peptide developed from the C-terminal region of soricidin, a proprietary 54 amino acid peptide, discovered by Soricimed Biopharma found in the saliva of the Northern Short-tailed Shrew. SOR-C13 binds with high affinity and selectivity - and disrupts the function of - TRPV6, a calcium channel over-expressed in solid tumor cancers. TRPV6 plays a central role in a biochemical cascade that results in the upregulation of an array of pro-cancerous genes. TRPV6 is considered to be an important target for novel anticancer therapy. SOR-C13 is the first highly specific TRPV6 inhibitor to be identified and to be taken into clinical development. SOR-C13 was effective in inhibition of tumors in animal xenograft models of human ovarian and breast cancer. The ongoing phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of SOR-C13 in treating patients with solid tumors. The FDA has awarded orphan drug status to SOR-C13 for the treatment of ovarian cancer and for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

FLOTEGATIDE F-18, a radiolabelled tripeptide with arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (R-G-D) motif, is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer targeting integrin alpha-V/beta-3. It was under development as a diagnostic agent for cancer and atherosclerosis.
