Fluprazine (previously known as DU27716), a psychoactive drug was studied as a behaviorally selective, anti-aggressive agent. Experiments on rodents have shown that fluprazine didn’t appreciably affect defensive attack or other defensive behaviors even though it strongly inhibited offensive attack. This agent is used to test both differences and similarities in neurochemical substrates and adaptive significance of different forms of intraspecific aggression.

Iganidipin is a new dihydropiridynic derivative of calcium antagonist. It is the only currently available calcium antagonist in the form of ophthalmic solution. Its topical administration increases ipsilateral optic nerve head blood flow in rabbits and monkeys and inhibits the contraction of blood vessels induced by endothelin -1. Iganidipin is also used for treat Angina pectoris and Hypertension.

Lozilurea (N' -3-chlorobenzyl-N'-ethylurea, ITA 312) has shown marked anti-ulcer activity. It has shown itself to be active against chemically and neurogenically induced gastric and duodenal lesions in various experimental animal models. It has no major anti-secretory action. The experimental data obtained suggest that the mechanism of action of lozilurea consists in increasing the protective function of the mucus barrier. It increased gastric levels of hexosamines and mucoproteins. In the screening trials carried out in order to detect the side effects of lozilurea, it has shown sedative, antipyretic and vasodilatory actions.

Cinflumide is a cinnamamide derivative manufactured by Burroughs Wellcome Co. It is claimed to be a CNS voluntary muscle relaxant.

Tetronasin is a furanone derivative patented by Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. as antibiotic and feed additive for ruminants. Tetronasin acts as divalent antiporter that binds preferentially with Ca2+ or Mg2+ and inhibits anaerobic fungi and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro.

Mafoprazine is a phenylpiperazine derivative exerting postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptor blocking activity and alpha-adrenergic activity (alpha 1 receptor blocking activity and alpha 2 receptor stimulating activity). In animal models, mafoprazine demonstrated antipsychotic, aggression-inhibiting and cataleptogenic actions.

Ecabapide (DQ 2511) is a compound with antiulcer and gastroprokinetic activity. Evidence from basic studies in animal models suggests that the drug acts on peripheral mechanisms of neural control. In the stomach, ecabapide acts to suppress firing in vagal afferent nerves and thereby reduce the flow of sensory information into the dorsal vagal complex. The mechanism of action of ecabapide in suppressing discharge in vagal afferent terminals appears to mimic that of nitric oxide by stimulating formation of cGMP and activation of an inhibitory transduction cascade in the sensory fibres. In this respect the mechanism of its pro-kinetic action differs from other promoter agents. Ecabapide development has been discontinued.

Acefurtiamine is a vitamin B1 analog. It is as an analgesic.

Clioxanide is a derivative of diiodobenzanilide, developed by Parke, Davis & Co in the 1960s. It was used as an antihelmintic against Fasciola hepatica and Haemonchus contortus. In sheep, the compound was demonstrated high efficiency (greater than 90%) when administered at 20-40 mg/kg. Later it was found that clioxanide is an inhibitor of Type III Secretion in Yersinia bacteria.
