Hopantenic acid (homopantothenic acid) is a central nervous system depressant. Formulated as the calcium salt, it is used as a pharmaceutical drug in the Russian Federation under the brand name Pantogam. In Russia it is widely used to treat a variety of neurological, psychological and psychiatric conditions. The drug has been on the pharmaceutical market since 1979 and has been proven to be safe even for children from 3 years old upwards. Hopantenic acid is a natural forming substance, has some of the lowest side effects and considered to be very safe. Use Pantogam to treat a wide variety of cognitive and nervous system disorders with combined sedative and mild stimulant effect. Hopantenic acid is not approved for use in Europe or the United States. GABA receptor agonist.

Mesotartaric acid is one of an isomer of Tartaric acid. Mesotartaric acid is a diastereomer which has two opposite chiral centers in the same molecule making the molecule optically inactive. Mesotartaric acid is also commonly called pyrotartaric acid because it is formed by heating d-(-)-tartaric acid. Mesotartaric Acid have several industrial application and may be used as pH regulator, a metal chelator, the reagent in organic synthesis and etc.

Isonicotinic acid considered to be inactive isomer of nicotinic acid. Isonicotinic acid is a metabolite of pyridine-4-carboxy hydrazide (isonicotinyl hydrazide; isoniazid) a front-line weapon in the battle against tuberculosis. Isonicotinic acid and its derivatives are used in manufacturing pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.

ARUNDIC ACID (ONO-2506) is an enantiomeric, three carbon atom homolog of valproic acid under development by ONO Pharmaceutical for the potential treatment of stroke, as well as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. The injectable formulation (Proglia) is finished phase III trials for acute-phase cerebral infarction, and the oral formulation (Cereact) is finished phase II trials in the UK for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). ARUNDIC ACID restores normal astrocyte functions after brain damage by preventing reactive astrocytosis, by activating astrocytic GABAA receptors and suppressing GABA transferase. ARUNDIC ACID inhibits S-100β synthesis in activated cultured astrocytes. This agent has additional antiglutamate and antiinflammatory COX-2 inhibitor properties

Piromidic acid, a quinolone antibiotic has an inhibitory effect against hepatic stages of P. falciparum and P. yoelii yoelii, and has a potential for treatment or prevention of malaria through their unique antiparasitic effect against erythrocytic and hepatic stages of Plasmodium.

Butonate is a veterinary anti-parasitic drug, which was approved by FDA, but lately voluntarily withdrawn.

Kainic acid (kainate) is a natural marine acid present in some seaweed. Kainic acid is a potent neuroexcitatory amino acid that acts by activating receptors for glutamate, the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Kainic acid is commonly injected into laboratory animal models to study the effects of experimental ablation. Kainic acid is a direct agonist of the glutamic kainate receptors and large doses of concentrated solutions produce immediate neuronal death by overstimulating neurons to death. Such damage and death of neurons is referred to as an excitotoxic lesion. Thus, in large, concentrated doses kainic acid can be considered a neurotoxin, and in small doses of dilute solution kainic acid will chemically stimulate neurons. Kainic acid is utilised in primary neuronal cell cultures and acute brain slice preparations [5] to study of the physiological effect of excitotoxicity and assess the neuroprotective capabilities of potential therapeutics. Kainic acid is a potent central nervous system excitant that is used in epilepsy research to induce seizures in experimental animals, at a typical dose of 10–30 mg/kg in mice. In addition to inducing seizures, kainic acid is excitotoxic and epileptogenic. Kainic acid induces seizures via activation of kainate receptors containing the GluK2 subunit and also through activation of AMPA receptors, for which it serves as a partial agonist.

Protizinic acid is an elaborated member of propionic acid series, and is a cyclooxygenase inhibitor with antiinflammatory and antipyretic activity

Ranelic acid is an organic acid capable of chelating metal cations. Ranelic acid is an organic, highly polar molecule without pharmacological activity, its salt form, s, is a drug used to treat osteoporosis and increase bone mineral density

Spaglumic acid (NAAG) is the β-aspartyl isoform of N-Acetyl-l-aspartylglutamate (isospaglumic Acid is N-(N-Acetyl-l-α-aspartyl)-l-glutamic acid). In eye drops, spaglumic acid is either a magnesium or sodium salt of N-Acetyl-l-aspartylglutamate. Spaglumic acid is a mast cell stabilizer. Thus it is used in allergic conditions such as allergic conjunctivitis. Specifically spaglumic acid is approved in Portugal under the brand name Naabak and in Greece under the brand name Naaxia for use in patients with allergic conjunctivitis. Spaglumic Acid is a peptide neurotransmitter and the third-most-prevalent neurotransmitter in the mammalian nervous system. It is a weak activator of NMDA receptors and a highly selective agonist for mGlu3 receptors. Spaglumic Acid is neuroprotective under non-hydrolysing conditions in vivo.
