In 2012, two newly developed active pharmaceutical ingredients for horses and food producing animals were released on the German market for veterinary drug products. Those are the parenterally applicable first generation cephalosporin Cefalonium (Cepravin) and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Suxibuzone (Danilon). Suxibuzone is a d drug for treatment of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal conditions in the horse eg. osteoarthritic conditions, bursitis, laminitis and soft tissue inflammation. It is a prodrug of the phenylbutazone, which inactivates prostaglandin H synthase and prostacyclin synthase

Oxyphenbutazone is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, cyclooxygenase (prostaglandin synthetase) inhibitors which was marked under brand name tandearil for the treatment rheumatic disorders such as ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. But this drug was withdrawn from markets due to bone marrow suppression.

Phenylbutazone is an anti-inflammatory drug, which binds to and inactivates cyclooxygenases and prostacyclin synthase through peroxide (H2O2) mediated deactivation. The reduced production of prostaglandin leads to reduced inflammation of the surrounding tissues. Phenylbutazone was marked under the brand name butazolidin for the treatment rheumatoid arthritis and gout, but then this usage was discontinued. In addition, phenylbutazone is used in UK for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, but only in those cases, when other therapies are unsuitable.

Piperazine, a six membered nitrogen containing heterocycle, is of great significance to the rational design of drugs. This moiety can be found in a plethora of well-known drugs with various therapeutic uses, such as antipsychotic, antihistamine, antianginal, antidepressant, anticancer, antiviral, cardio protectors, anti-inflammatory, and imaging agents. Slight modification to the substitution pattern on the piperazine nucleus facilitates a recognizable difference in the medicinal potential of the resultant molecules. Piperazine has been used as an antihelmintic drug. Piperazine works by paralyzing the worms. They are then passed in the stool.

Clofezone (Perclusone), an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent, is a drug that was used to treat joint and muscular pain, mostly in rheumatic diseases. Clofezone is a compound preparation of phenylbutazone and clofexamide. Tolerance of Perclusone was very good, no side-effects were observed.
