Tolperisone is a centrally acting muscle relaxant first synthesized in 1956 and used in clinical practice since the 1960’s. Tolperisone is an aryl alkyl β-aminoketone with an asymmetric carbon atom α to the carbonyl group. The dextrorotatory enantiomer was reported less effective, however, no detailed analyses of the enantiomers are available. The precise mechanism of action of tolperisone is not fully known. The most prominent effect of tolperisone is its inhibitory action on pathways of spinal reflexes. It suppresses the mono and polysynaptic reflex transmission by both pre-synaptic and post-synaptic mechanisms.

In 2012, two newly developed active pharmaceutical ingredients for horses and food producing animals were released on the German market for veterinary drug products. Those are the parenterally applicable first generation cephalosporin Cefalonium (Cepravin) and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Suxibuzone (Danilon). Suxibuzone is a d drug for treatment of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal conditions in the horse eg. osteoarthritic conditions, bursitis, laminitis and soft tissue inflammation. It is a prodrug of the phenylbutazone, which inactivates prostaglandin H synthase and prostacyclin synthase

Mofebutazone (or monophenylbutazone) is a 3,5-pyrazolinedione derivative study for treating asthma and muscular pain. It was found that there was no increase in the incidence or severity of the asthmatic attacks during the course of mofebutazone treatment. The drug tended to improve the tested pulmonary ventilatory functions or at least to leave them unchanged. All the mofebutazone-treated individuals showed a dramatic reduction in the concentrations of PGE2, PGF2alpha, and LTs in their BAL, but there was no consistent correlation between the extent of reduction and the degree of benefit or worsening sustained by an individual patient. Mofebutazone was found to be excreted almost exclusively via the kidney

Nifenazone is a drug that has been used as an analgesic for a number of rheumatic conditions. Later it was shown that nifenazone is not of significant value in the therapy of the chronic rheumatic disorders and that side-effects may be expected to occur, particularly in those patients who give a history of abnormal reactions to phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone.

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) analog of Diclofenac. It is used for the relief of pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. The dose is 100 mg twice daily, and should not be given to people with porphyria or breastfeeding mothers and is not recommended for children. Aceclofenac is a cytokine inhibitor. Aceclofenac works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of prostaglandins (chemicals in the body which cause pain, swelling and inflammation). Aceclofenac is the glycolic acid ester of diclofenac. The incidence of gastric ulcerogenicity of aceclofenac has been reported to be significantly lower than that of other frequently prescribed NSAIDs: for instance, 2-fold less than naproxen, 4-fold less than diclofenac, and 7-fold less than indomethacin. Aceclofenac is metabolized in human hepatocytes and human microsomes to form [2-(2',6'-dichloro-4'-hydroxy- phenylamino)phenyl] acetoxyacetic acid as the major metabolite, which is then further conjugated.

Fentiazac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent developed for the treatment of pain disorders. The drug was marketed under the name Norvedan, however, its current marketing status is unknown and supposed to be "discontinued".

Calmatel contains piketoprofen and belongs to the group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This medicine is indicated in adolescents over 12 years and adults for local pain relief and mild and occasional inflammation caused by: small contusions, bruises, strains; torticollis or other contractures; lumbago; minor sprains caused because of a twist.

Idrocilamide (trade names Talval, Srilane, Relaxnova, Brolitène) is a medication with skeletal muscle relaxant[2] and anti-inflammatory actions used as a topical cream to treat lumbago and other kinds of muscular pain. Idrocilamide acts intracellularly by decreasing sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release and externally by facilitating the voltage-dependent inactivation of the voltage sensor for excitation-contraction coupling. Idrocilamide has been reported to be a potent inhibitor of the metabolism of caffeine. Idrocilamide is available on prescription or over-the-counter in France and various other countries. Idrocilamide exerts a direct depressant effect on mechanical tension in rat soleus muscle fibers.

Benzydamine (benzydamine hydrochloride, PHARIXIA®) is a benzyl-indazole having analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It is indicated for the relief of pain in acute sore throat and for the symptomatic relief of oro-pharyngeal mucositis caused by radiation therapy.

Bendazac, (1-benzyl-1H-indazol-3-yl-oxy)-acetic acid, is structurally related to indomethacin. Its lysine salt has been reported to be absorbed better than the parent compound. It is applied topically as bendazac lysine 0.5% (wt/vol) aqueous solution for delaying the progression of cataract. Topical application of bendazac is associated with transient burning sensation. It reduces the secretion of the skin ulcer surface, promotes skin formation and accelerates tissue repair.
