Vorasidenib (also known as AG 881) was developed as an isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) type 1 in the cytoplasm and type 2 in the mitochondria, with potential antineoplastic activity. It is known that IDH is an essential enzyme for cellular respiration in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) are homodimeric enzymes that catalyze the conversion of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Vorasidenib participated in phase I clinical trials in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies and in gliomas.

Arimoclomol (INN; originally codenamed BRX-345, which is a citrate salt formulation of BRX-220) is an experimental drug developed by a biopharmaceutical company CytRx Corporation. In 2011 the worldwide rights to arimoclomol were bought by Danish biotech company Orphazyme ApS. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) granted orphan drug designation to arimoclomol as a potential treatment for Niemann-Pick type C in 2014 and 2015 respectively. Arimoclomol is believed to function by stimulating a normal cellular protein repair pathway through the activation of molecular chaperones. Since damaged proteins, called aggregates, are thought to play a role in many diseases, CytRx believes that arimoclomol could treat a broad range of diseases.

FGF-401 is an inhibitor of human fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, FGF401 binds to and inhibits the activity of FGFR4, which leads to an inhibition of tumor cell proliferation in FGFR4-overexpressing cells. FGFR4 is a receptor tyrosine kinase upregulated in certain tumor cells and involved in tumor cell proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, and survival. FGF-401 is an FGFR4 inhibitor in phase I/II clinical studies at Novartis for the treatment of positive FGFR4 and KLB expression solid tumors and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Tesofensine (also known as NS-2330) is a novel triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor with intrinsic inhibitory activity on norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5-HT), and dopamine (DA) transporter function. It was development by NeuroSearch as a potential therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's diseases, but these efforts have been discontinued. In phase II clinical trials with tesofensine in obese individuals, dose-related reductions in body weight, body fat and waist circumference, as well as improvements in other obesity-related endocrine factors were observed and the FDA recently endorsed the phase III trial program for this agent.
