Delmopinol, a surface-active cationic agent. It was approved by FDA under the name Decapinol for the treatment of gingivitis and prevention of periodontitis. The drug interacts with the early acquired pellicle, the thin layer of saliva polymers and proteins covering teeth and gums, and forms a barrier over teeth and gums. This barrier prevents the microbial adhesion and colonisation on the tooth and gum surface. Delmopinol itself has no bactericidal activity.

Tetradonium is a cationic germicidal detergent, often used in disinfectant and deodorant compositions.

Oxantel is a narrow-spectrum anthelmintic effective against whipworms in dogs and cats. It is ineffective against other roundworms, flukes, tapeworms or external parasites. Oxantel acts on the nervous system of the worms as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. Oxantel, a cholinergic anthelmintic and fumarate reductase inhibitor, significantly inhibited biofilm formation by P. gingivalis and disrupted established biofilms at concentrations below its MIC against planktonic cells. Oxantel was more effective against P. gingivalis in biofilm than metronidazole, a commonly used antibiotic for periodontitis. When oxantel was administrated to human beings for the treatment of trichuriasis, no drug reaction or side effects were reported, and the results of hematologic, biochemical and urinary examinations didn’t reveal any significant drug-related changes.

Norfenefrine or meta-octopamine, also known as 3,β-dihydroxyphenethylamine, is an adrenergic agent used as a sympathomimetic drug which is marketed in Europe, Japan, and Mexico. Along with its structural isomer p-octopamine and the tyramines, norfenefrine is a naturally occurring, endogenous trace amine and plays a role as a minor neurotransmitter in the brain. Norfenefrine controls blood pressure in acute hypotensive states eg pheochromocytomectomy, sympathectomy, poliomyelitis, spinal anesth, MI, septicemia, blood transfusion and drug reactions. Adjunct in treatment of cardiac arrest and hypotension.

Iobenguane, mainly use as a radiopharmaceutical, used in a scintigraphy method called MIBG scan. Synthetic guanethidine derivative that locates phaeochromocytomas and neuroblastomas. The radioisotope used can either be iodine-123 for imaging or iodine-131 for destruction of tissues that metabolize noradrenaline. Iodine 123 is a cyclotron-produced radionuclide that decays to Te 123 by electron capture. Images are produced by a I123 MIBG scintigraphy. It localizes to adrenergic tissue and thus can be used to identify the location of tumors such as pheochromocytomas and neuroblastomas. With I-131 it can also be used to eradicate tumor cells that take up and metabolize norepinephrine. The radioactive iodine component is responsible for its imaging properties. Iobenguane and guanethidine are substrates for the norepinephrine transporter (NET) and accumulate by the uptake mechanism into presynaptic nerve endings. Unlike norepinephrine, these drugs are protonated under physiologic conditions; therefore, they do not cross the blood–brain barrier and in vivo uptake is limited primarily to systemic neuronal tissue. The accumulation of iobenguane in myocardial tissue is also dictated by the high fraction of aortic blood flow that enters the coronary arteries. This physiology constitutes an ideal molecular targeting mechanism for diagnosis of various cardiac diseases, including heart failure, heart transplant rejection, ischemic heart disease, dysautonomia, and drug-induced cardiotoxicity, as well as cardiac neuropathy related to diabetes mellitus and Parkinson disease

Ciramadol is an opioid agonist-antagonist analgesic with low potential for dependency. Ciramadol appears to be an effective analgesic, with tolerable gastrointestinal central nervous system side effects at both the 30-and 90-mg dose levels. Ciramadol is a mixed agonist-antagonist for the μ-opioid receptor. Side effects might include nausea and vomiting.

Bevantolol (INN) was a drug candidate for angina and hypertension that acted as both a beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker. Animal experiments confirm both agonist and antagonist effects on alpha-receptors, in addition to antagonist activity at beta-1 receptors. By binding and antagonizing beta-1 receptors Bevantolol inhibits the normal normal epinephrine-mediated sympathetic actions such as increased heart rate. This has the effect of decreasing preload and blood pressure. Bevantolol was discovered and developed by Warner-Lambert but in January 1989 the company announced that it had withdrawn the New Drug Application. As of 2016 it wasn't marketed in the US, UK, or Europe.

Etilefrine is a cardiac stimulant used as an antihypotensive. Intravenous infusion of this compound increases cardiac output, stroke volume, venous return and blood pressure in man and experimental animals, suggesting stimulation of both α and β adrenergic receptors. However, in vitro studies indicate that etilefrine has a much higher affinity for β1 (cardiac) than for β2 adrenoreceptors. Intravenous etilefrine increases the pulse rate, cardiac output, stroke volume, central venous pressure and mean arterial pressure of healthy individuals. Marked falls in pulse rate, cardiac output, stroke volume and peripheral bloodflow, accompanied by rises in mean arterial pressure, occur when etilefrine is infused after administration of intravenous propranolol 2,5 mg. These findings indicate that etilefrine has both β1 and α1 adrenergic effects in man. The French Health Products Agency concluded that etilefrine and heptaminol have an unfavourable harm-benefit balance, and also placed restrictions on the use of midodrine.

Ziconotide (PRIALT; SNX-111) is a neuroactive peptide, which was approved by FDA in 2004 for the management of severe chronic pain in adult patients for whom intrathecal therapy is warranted, and who are intolerant of or refractory to other treatment, such as systemic analgesics, adjunctive therapies, or intrathecal morphine. Ziconotide acts as a selective N-type voltage-gated calcium channel blocker, which leads to a blockade of excitatory neurotransmitter release from the primary afferent nerve terminals.
