Amiselimod (MT-1303) is a selective sphingosine 1-phosphate 1 (S1P1 ) receptor modulator which is currently being developed for the treatment of various autoimmune diseases. Unlike some other S1P receptor modulators, amiselimod seemed to show a favourable cardiac safety profile in preclinical, phase I and II studies. Amiselimod may be potentially useful for treatment of multiple sclerosis; inflammatory diseases; autoimmune diseases; psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases. Amiselimod is currently being developed by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation.

Fosquidone (also known as GR63178A), a pentacyclic pyrroloquinone that was developed as an anticancer agent. Fosquidone participated in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of patients with colorectal, renal and non-small cell lung cancer. However, the drug didn’t show significant antitumor activity. The further development of this drug was discontinued.

Fospirate is an organophosphorus insecticide used in veterinary as an anthelmintic agent.

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms, collectively known as psilocybin mushrooms. Once ingested, psilocybin is rapidly metabolized to the psilocin, which then acts on serotonin receptors in the brain. Psilocybin was identified as the active hallucinogenic compound in magic mushrooms in 1959, but humans have used assorted psilocybin mushrooms in religious ceremonies since prehistoric times. In the 1960's psilocybin was marketed for use as a treatment for various psychoses, however, it was withdrawn from the market when the regulatory environment changed. Recently there has been as renewed interest in studying the medicinal uses of psilocybin for treatment of anxiety, depression, migraine headaches, addictions, and other neuropsychiatric conditions.

The organophosphate compound Naftalofos is an anthelmintic drug. In Australia it is approved for veterinary use. Naftalofos has been used for many years to control nematodes of livestock. Naftalofos boluses are used against nematodes of cattle. Naphthalophos (36.6 to 51.2 mg/kg) was also 93% efficient against the multiple resistant strains of Trichostrongylus colubriformis in sheep. Naphthalophos showed efficacy against Haemonchus contortus (> 99 %),Trichostrongylus axei (99.3 %), Teladorsagia circumcincta (97.8 %), Trichostrongylus colubriformis (99.2 %), Cooperia punctata/curticei/pectinata (90.4 %), Nematodirus spathiger (89.2 %) and Oesophagostomum venulosum/columbianum (93.7 %). Naphthalophos represents an effective therapeutic alternative for incorporation into worm control programmes.
