Naminterol [VAL 479], a phenethanolamine derivative, is a β2 adrenoceptor agonist with bronchodilatory properties. The compound was undergoing phase II clinical trials for asthma in Italy.

Ericolol is an antagonist of beta-adrenoreceptors. It exerts antihypertensive, antianginal and antiarrhythmic properties.

Ersentilide (CK-3579 or HE93) is a blocker of beta1-adrenergic receptors and potassium channels. It exerts class III antiarrhythmic activity. It prevents ventricular fibrillation in a canine model of lethal arrhythmias.

Furbucillin is a synthetic antibacterial agent that has never been marketed. Information about the current use of this drug is not available.

Spirendolol (LI 32-468) is a β adrenergic receptor antagonist. It possesses high affinity for metabolic beta-adrenoreceptors which mediate glycogenolysis that is 100 times more potent than propranolol. In human volunteer studies, a single dose of 2 mg LI 32-468 elicited virtually no cardiac beta-adrenoreceptor blockade (predominantly beta-1), whereas a maximal metabolic beta-adrenoreceptor blocking effect (beta-2) was demonstrated. Spirendolol was a potent inhibitor of ocular beta-adrenoceptors, with a 9-12 fold selectivity over inhibition of beta-adrenoceptors in cardiac tissue. When applied topically, Spirendolol was more effective than timolol in decreasing intraocular pressure in normal albino rabbits.

Prazocillin is 6-aminopenicillanic acid derivative patented by Chinoin Gyogyszer es Vegyeszeti Termekek Gyara Rt. as a bactericidal compound. The activity of Prazocillin against Staphylococcus aureus strains was the same as that of dikloxacillin, but Prazocillin was more active against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633. Prazocillin had a bactericidal effect on a penicillin-resistant S. aureus strain at concentrations of 1 μg/ml. Pyrazocillin inhibits bacterial penicillinase in vitro.

Tomopenem (formerly CS-023) is a 1β-methylcarbapenem with improved activity against diverse hospital pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and has a half-life about twice longer than the half-lives of other carbapenems such as imipenem (IPM) and meropenem (MEM). In vitro activity of tomopenem is comparable to that of IPM against most isolates of Gram-positive pathogens and similar to that of MEM against Gram-negative pathogens. Furthermore, tomopenem displayed improved activity against not only P. aeruginosa but also MRSA compared to IPM and MEM. In addition to the improved activity, tomopenem showed a half-life about twice longer than that of IPM or MEM in humans. The affinity of tomopenem for penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 2a might be higher than that of IPM. Tomopenem had been in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial infection. However, this development was discontinued.

Tobuterol is a bronchodilator agent. It is a beta2-adrenergic ligand.

Ecastolol is a beta-sympatholytic agent.

Norbudrine (KWD2109) is a sympathomimetic drug. It is an active bronchospasmolytic agent. KWD2109 shows an in vitro bronchospasmolytic acitivity which is about 14 times better than that of KWD2025. In the in vivo tests or guinea pig bronchospasmolytic activity KWD2109 has an effect which is about 3 times that of KWD2025 after intraperitoneal and oral administration
