Meticrane is a diuretic. Meticrane is used to treat essential hypertension.

Bevonium is a parasympatolytic antimuscarinic compound. It possesses spasmolytic properties. The use of the drug is discontinued.

Biapenem (INN) is a carbapenem antibiotic. It has in vitro activity against anaerobes. Approved in Japan in 2001. Biapenem is a carbopenems antibiotic which suppresses bacterial growth by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for bacterial cell wall synthesis, and shows broad-spectrum antibacterial activity both against gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. Biapenem is stable to dehaloperoxidase-I (DHP-I) and can not be administered together with DHP-I inhibitor. This product is applicable to the treatment of a variety of infections caused by sensitive bacteria: septicemia, pneumonia, lung abscess, secondary infections resulting from chronic respiratory disease, cystitis, pyelonephritis, peritonitis, appendagitis, etc. Biapenem is generally well tolerated. The most common adverse events in clinical trials were skin eruptions/rashes, nausea and diarrhoea.

Ambroxol, a substituted benzylamine, is an active metabolite of bromhexine, which is itself a synthetic derivative of vasicine, the active principle extracted from the plant species Adhatoda vasica. Ambroxol is an expectorant exerting mucokinetic properties, mucociliary activity, stimulation of surfactant production, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative actions and the local anaesthetic effect. Ambroxol was discovered at and has been manufactured by Dr. Karl Thomae GmbH, a division of Boehringer Ingelheim. The ambroxol patent is expired and the drug is available as a generic product from many different companies. Ambroxol was originally developed by Boehringer Ingelheim as a OTC therapy for respiratory disorders related to excessive mucus. Ambroxol's indication is secretolytic therapy in acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases associated with abnormal mucus secretion and impaired mucus transport. Boehringer Ingelheim markets the product under various brand names such as Mucosolvan® and Lasolvan®. Ambroxol was identified and found to be a pH-dependent, mixed-type inhibitor of glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Its inhibitory activity was maximal at neutral pH, found in the endoplasmic reticulum, and undetectable at the acidic pH of lysosomes. The pH dependence of Ambroxol to bind and stabilize the enzyme was confirmed. Ambroxol increases both the lysosomal fraction and the enzymatic activity of several mutant GCase variants. This profile of Ambroxol would allow to bind and stabilize GCase in the endoplasmic reticulum (thus preventing its degradation within endoplasmic reticulum), but without affecting GCase in the lysosomes (thus allowing it to degrade glucosylceramide). Indeed, studies showed that Ambroxol treatment significantly increased N370S and F213I mutant GCase activity and protein levels in fibroblasts originally obtained from Gaucher patients. Gaucher's disease is caused by the deficiency of glucocerebrosidase; ambroxol is a chaperone that acts by binding to and stabilising glucocerebrosidase. Zywie (formerly ExSAR Corporation) and Belrose Pharma are developing ambroxol hydrochloride (BEL 0218) for the treatment of type III Gaucher's disease. .

Thioproperazine is a potent neuroleptic with antipsychotic properties. Thioproperazine has a marked cataleptic and antiapomorphine activity associated with relatively slight sedative, hypothermic and spasmolytic effects. It is virtually without antiserotonin and hypotensive action and has no antihistaminic property. It is used for the treatment of all types of acute and chronic schizophrenia, including those which did not respond to the usual neuroleptics; manic syndromes. Overdosage may result in severe extrapyramidal symptoms with dysphagia, marked sialorrhea, persistent and rapidly increasing hyperthermia, pulmonary syndrome, state of shock with pallor and profuse sweating, which may be followed by collapse and coma.

Indobufen inhibits platelet aggregation by reversibly inhibiting the platelet cyclooxygenase enzyme thereby suppressing thromboxane synthesis. Indobufen under brand name ibustrin is used in Italy for the following conditions: cerebrovascular insufficiency, atherosclerosis of peripheral and cerebral vessels, thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, and diabetes mellitus. In addition, this drug has been investigated in the phase II clinical trial for the prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation. After oral administration, it is quickly and completely absorbed.

Fenpiprane is a compound with antiallergic and antispasmodic activities. It is used in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders.

Fenticonazole is an imidazole derivative with a broad spectrum of antimycotic activity. It is used as a nitrate salt under different trade names (Lomexin, Gynoxin, Fentizol, etc) for the treatment of vaginal candidiasis. Fenticonazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an important step in the formation of the wall of fungi and blocks the oxidizing enzymes with the corresponding accumulation of peroxides and necrosis of the fungal cell. In vitro studies have shown a broad fungistatic and fungicidal activity. Like other azole agents, the spectrum of action of Fenticonazole also extends to some gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. In vivo studies have also shown activity against Trichomonas Vaginalis.

Camostat mesilate (FOY-305) is a synthetic f low-molecular weight protease inhibitor. It is able to inhibit trypsin, prostasin, matriptase and plasma kallikrein. In addition camostat attenuates airway epithelial sodium channel function and enhances mucociliary clearance. Camostat mesilate tablets (FOIPAN®) are approved in Japan and used for the treatment of remission of acute symptoms of chronic pancreatitis and postoperative reflux esophagitis.

Flomoxef is a cephamycin antibiotic with a difluoromethylthio-acetamido group at the 7-beta position of the cephem nucleus, commonly used for postoperative prophylaxis. Flomoxef has activity against epidermides, streptococci, propionibacteria, and both methicillin-resistant and -susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. Flomoxef exhibits a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against G(+), G(-) and even anaerobes such as Staphylococcus sp., Escherichia coli, and Bacteroides sp., and it can be used singly to treat infection caused by aerobes and anaerobes (Mixed infection) effectively. Flomoxef belongs to the cephamycin, so it is very stable against β-lactamase as well as Extended Spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), a novel resistance induced by Enterobacteriaceae. There is no Oxyimino group in the structure of Flomoxef, so it won’t derive ESBL and it is also effective for the treatment to ESBL infection. No disulfiram-like reaction and less incidence of vitamin K deficiency than that of Latamoxef. Marketed in Japan as FLUMARIN.
