Sufosfamide is an oxazaphosphorine derivative patented by Asta-Werke A.-G as immunosuppressives agent. Sufosfamide is a mixed-function oxazaphosphorine differing from ifosfamide in that the extracyclic 2-chloroethyl function has been replaced by a mesyl-oxyethyl group. It is characterized by an extraordinary intensifi¬cation of the immunosuppressive component of action compared to the carcinotoxic component. Sufosfamide activates of a specific immune tolerance in models of humoral end cell-bound antibodies.

Furafylline is a methylxanthine derivative that was introduced as a long-acting replacement for theophylline in the treatment of asthma, it was a bronchodilator with extended duration compared to theophylline, but then subsequently reported the adverse side effects the inhibition of the oxidation of caffeine, a reaction catalyzed by CYP1A2. Furafylline is now widely used in biochemical studies as a selective mechanism-based inhibitor of cytochrome p450 1A2.

Cidoxepin is the cis-isomer of the widely prescribed tricyclic compound doxepin. Commercial preparations of the tricyclic anti-depressant doxepin contain 15% of the more active cis-doxepin and 85% of the trans-isomer. Elorac, Inc., a rapidly growing specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of dermatological disorders, is pleased to announce that it has acquired worldwide rights to the active agent Cidoxepin from Gideon Pharmaceuticals. Cidoxepin appears to be much more potent than doxepin while having less sedative and cholinergic side effects. Elorac plans to develop oral formulations of the drug to treat urticaria and topical formulations for treatment of atopic and contact dermatitis.

Mocetinostat is an rationally designed, orally available, Class 1-selective, small molecule, 2-aminobenzamide HDAC inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Mocetinostat binds to and inhibits Class 1 isoforms of HDAC, specifically HDAC 1, 2 and 3, which may result in epigenetic changes in tumor cells and so tumor cell death; although the exact mechanism has yet to be defined, tumor cell death may occur through the induction of apoptosis, differentiation, cell cycle arrest, inhibition of DNA repair, upregulation of tumor suppressors, down regulation of growth factors, oxidative stress, and autophagy, among others. It is undergoing clinical trials for treatment of various cancers including bladder cancer, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndromes, non-small cell lung cancer. Fatigue, weight loss or anorexia were most common treatment-related adverse events.

Tofetridine is an analgesic agent.

Naftypramide is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It was used in the treatment of gynecological inflammatory diseases.

Aranotin, a metabolite of Arachniotus aureus, possesses the antiviral and antibiotic properties. It inhibits viral RNA synthesis against strains of rhino-, coxsackie, polio- and parainfluenza viruses.

FLAVAMINE is a diterpenoid alkaloid isolated from the roots of Aconitum fiavum.

Acetergamine is a derivative of ergoline, it is an oxytocic agent. Acetergamine is alpha-1 blocker and vasodilator. It has been investigated as a treatment for cerebellar ataxia.
