Conditions:

Racecadotril (acetorphan) is an oral enkephalinase inhibitor for use in the treatment of acute diarrhea. Racecadotril reduces hypersecretion of water and electrolytes into the intestinal lumen, by preventing the degradation of endogenous enkephalins. Treatment with racecadotril reduces the incidence and duration of acute diarrhea and reduces diarrhea-associated symptoms compared with placebo in adults. Racecadotril treatment also results in significant reductions in stool output compared with placebo in infants and young children aged 2 months to 4 years with acute diarrhea. Both rotavirus-negative and rotavirus-positive infections appear to respond to treatment in the pediatric populations investigated for this infection. Racecadotril shows similar or slightly reduced efficacy to loperamide in the treatment of diarrhea in adults and children aged up to 10 years. However, in comparative trials, racecadotril was associated with fewer adverse events than loperamide, in particular, post-treatment constipation. Racecadotril is available in France (where it was first introduced in ~1990) and other European countries (including Germany, Italy, the UK, Spain and the Czech Republic) as well as most of South America and some South East Asian countries (including China, India and Thailand), but not in the United States.

Bunaprolast has been described as the most potent antioxidant inhibitor of endothelial activation of NF-kB and gene expression of E-selectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. Bunaprolast is a potent inhibitor of leukotriene B4 production in human whole blood and undergoes deacetylation to an initial metabolite with similar pharmacological potency. The in vivo demonstration of inhibition of pulmonary bronchoconstriction by this compound, in a model known to be leukotriene sensitive, coupled with its potent in vitro inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase enzymes, suggests bunaprolast may be of use in 5-lypoxygenase-mediated models of asthma.

Flumedroxone is a progestative agent. It is a pregnane derivative substituted at C-6 by a trifluoromethyl group. It was tested whether flumedroxone had prophylactic value in migraine. No benefit was found in males, or in females with no history of menstrual exacerbation of migraine. In women whose migraine was worse around the time of menstruation flumedroxone resulted in statistically fewer headaches of less severity. With the dose used in this trial side-effects were frequent, the commonest being polymenorrhagia, which occurred in half the women of reproductive age.

Laropiprant is a drug, which was used in combination with nicotinic acid (also known as niacin) and was known under tradename: tredaptive. Tredaptive was indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet for use in patients with primary hypercholesterolaemia (heterozygous familial and non-familial) or mixed dyslipidaemia. The marketing authorisation for Tredaptive has been withdrawn at the request of the marketing-authorisation holder due to increases in side effects with no cardiovascular benefit. Laropiprant is a selective antagonist of the prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)) receptor subtype 1 (DP1). It also has the affinity to interact with thromboxane A2 receptor (TP), although it is approximately 190-fold less potent when compared to DP1. Activation of TP has been shown to induce platelet aggregation in vitro, whereas activation of human platelet DP1 inhibits platelet aggregation. These in vitro data indicate that laropiprant may alter platelet function either by enhancement of platelet reactivity through DP1 antagonism or by inhibition of platelet aggregation through TP antagonism. Also were clinical trials phase II for the laropiprant alone, there were shown, that drug did not demonstrate efficacy in asthmatic patients or patients with allergic rhinitis.

Anagestone acetate is a progestin medication, used in the 1960s in combination with the estrogen mestranol as a combined birth control pill. Toxicological study of chronic administration in dogs and monkeys showed the increased risk of developing malignant tumors in the mammary glands and a dose-dependent, nonprogressive decrease in hemoglobin and hematocrits. The drug was voluntarily withdrawn from the market in 1969.

Zuclopenthixol is indicated the management of the manifestations of schizophrenia and other mental illnesses with disturbances in thinking, emotional reactions and behaviour. It is also used to treat the manic phase of manic depressive illness. Zuclopenthixol, a thioxanthene derivative, has high affinity for both dopamine D1 receptors and dopamine D2 receptors. Zuclopenthixol also has high affinity for α1-adrenergic and 5-HT2 receptors. Zuclopenthixol (CLOPIXOL®) is avavilable in the form of tablets and solution for intramuscular injections.
Elliptinium is an antineoplastic agent, which was used in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in France under the name Celiptium. The drug is known to intercalate into DNA and inhibit topoisomerase II. Several studies have demonstrated that this molecule can be oxidized, yielding a reactive electrophilic form, which is able to bind covalently to a nucleophilic biological molecule.

Beryllium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Be and atomic number 4. A toxic bivalent element, beryllium is a steel grey, strong, light-weight yet brittle, alkaline earth metal. Beryllium is an ubiquitous element in the environment, and it has many commercial applications. Beryllium is used in alloys with copper or nickel to make gyroscopes, springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes and non-sparking tools. Mixing beryllium with these metals increases their electrical and thermal conductivity. Other beryllium alloys are used as structural materials for high-speed aircraft, missiles, spacecraft and communication satellites. Beryllium is relatively transparent to X-rays so ultra-thin beryllium foil is finding use in X-ray lithography. Beryllium is also used in nuclear reactors as a reflector or moderator of neutrons. Beryllium and its compounds are toxic and carcinogenic. If beryllium dust or fumes are inhaled, it can lead to an incurable inflammation of the lungs called berylliosis. Because it is strong, stable, can handle elevated levels of heat resistance and is highly transparent to x-rays, beryllium, in thin foil form, has long been critical to the operation of medical and scientific x-ray equipment. Beryllium foil provides the window through which tissue-penetrating x-rays are focused, while maintaining the vacuum inside the x-ray tube generator. Beryllium foil remains indispensible for high-resolution medical radiography, including CT scanning and mammography. Beryllium in newer generation mammography equipment enables a lower radiation dose scan with significantly finer tumor resolution, enabling breast cancer detection at its early, most treatable stages. Beryllium is also used in components of the analytical equipment used to analyze blood for HIV and other diseases, offering the precision and reliability that doctors and patients demand.
