Levomethadyl acetate (LAAM) is a synthetic opioid agonist with actions qualitatively similar to morphine (a prototypic mu agonist) and affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and smooth muscle. Principal actions include analgesia and sedation. Tolerance to these effects develops with repeated use. An abstinence syndrome generally occurs upon cessation of chronic administration similar to that observed with other opiates, but with slower onset, more prolonged course, and less severe symptoms. LAAM exerts its clinical effects in the treatment of opiate abuse through two mechanisms. First, LAAM cross-substitutes for opiates of the morphinetype, suppressing symptoms of withdrawal in opiate-dependent individuals. Second, chronic oral administration of LAAM can produce sufficient tolerance to block the subjective “high” of usual doses of parenterally administered opiates. Since the introduction of levomethadyl in 1995, the manufacturer has received increasing reports of severe cardiac-related adverse events, including QT interval prolongation, Torsades de Pointes and cardiac arrest. Other cardiac-related adverse events have also been reported, including arrhythmias, syncope, and angina. These events led to the removal of levomethadyl from the European market in March 2001. A very small number of patients may benefit from levomethadyl, but the risk of continued distribution and use no longer outweighs the overall benefits.

11-keto methylprednisolone is a metabolite of corticosteroid immunosuppressant methylprednisolone.

Midecamycin diacetate (a derivative of Midecamycin) is reported as an ingredient of Miocamycin in Japan. Miocamycin is an orally administered 16-membered macrolide antimicrobial drug. It has a spectrum of in vitro activity similar to that of erythromycin, inhibiting a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, atypical microbes and some anaerobes. Importantly, miocamycin demonstrates greater in vitro potency than erythromycin against several pathogens including Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma hominis, and Ureaplasma urealyticum. Equally noteworthy is its activity against erythromycin-resistant staphylococcal and streptococcal species expressing inducible-type resistance. Miocamycin possesses poor overall activity against Haemophilus influenzae and is inactive against Enterobacteriaceae. Penetration of miocamycin into body tissues and fluids is both rapid and extensive. The 3 major metabolites of miocamycin possess antimicrobial activity and may contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of the drug. Clinical data indicate that miocamycin is useful in the treatment of upper and lower respiratory tract infections in both adult and paediatric patients. Miocamycin is also effective in the treatment of urogenital tract infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or U. urealyticum. Midecamycin binds reversibly to 50S ribosomal subunit causing blockade of transpeptidation/translocation reactions, inhibition of protein synthesis and thus inhibition of cell growth. Midecamycin diacetate is also known as MIOCAMEN, Merced Box of 8 sachets (900mg), Mosil, Myoxam.

Testosterone acetate, a testosterone ester, is an androgen. It is a steroid lipid molecule considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and basic. It is an anabolic steroid and testosterone prodrug. Testosterone acetate has a faster rate of absorption in the body then other esters. In combination with two other testosterone esters, testosterone valerate and testosterone undecanoate, it is a part of Deposterona, an injectable veterinary blend steroid preparation marketed in Mexico. With its blend of slow and fast-acting esters, Deposterona is essentially a low dosed alternative to Sustanon and is used primarily to treat impotence, weakness, fatigue, and hypogonadism in male breeding animals (cows, pigs, canines, and sheep), and also as a general protein-sparing anabolic. Testosterone acetate is classified as a Schedule III drug by the United States Drug Enforcement Agency and is only legal with a prescription due to his potential for misuse and abuse.

Anecortave is a novel angiogenesis inhibitor used in the treatment of the exudative (wet) form of age-related macular degeneration. It will be marketed by Alcon as anecortave acetate (AA) for depot suspension under the trade name Retaane. In 2007 they received their letter of approval for Retaane’s indication to treat wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), but final approval would require the completion of an additional clinical study. As a result, the Anecortave Acetate Risk-Reduction Trial (AART) was continued to be supported by Alcon. This study looked at the efficacy of Retaane to reduce the progression of the dry from of AMD to the wet-form. In 2008, Alcon Inc. announced they were terminating the development of anecortave acetate for the prevention of developing sight-threatening choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration. In 2009, Alcon Inc. announced they would terminate the development of the drug for the reducing intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma. Currently, anecortave acetate is not on the market or being made for therapeutic use by Alcon Inc.[7] This could be due to the lack of efficacy of clinical trials with anecortave acetate or because of newer more efficacious products that are currently on the market. Anecortave acetate functions as an antiangiogenic agent, inhibiting blood vessel growth by decreasing extracellular protease expression and inhibiting endothelial cell migration. Its angiostatic activity does not seem to be mediated through any of the commonly known pharmacological receptors. RETAANE blocks signals from multiple growth factors because it acts downstream and independent of the initiating angiogenic stimuli and inhibits angiogenesis subsequent to the angiogenic stimulation. Recently was discovered, that phosphodiesterase 6-delta (PDE6D) was a molecular binding partner of AA and this provided insight into the role of this drug candidate in treating glaucoma.

Clostebol acetate (4-chloro-testosterone acetate), an anabolic androgenic agent used for fattening purposes in cattle breeding or applied topically in ophthalmological and dermatological treatments. The European Commission has prohibited its use since 1986.

Methadyl Acetate is a narcotic analgesic with a long onset and duration of action. Methadyl Acetate is primarily a mu-type opioid receptor agonist and the drug decreases a patient's opioid use by preventing opioid withdrawal. Levacetylmethadol, the enantiomer of Methadyl Acetate, was approved in 1993 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the treatment of opioid dependence. In 2001, levacetylmethadol was removed from the U.S. market due to reports of life-threatening ventricular rhythm disorders.

Chloroprednisone acetate is the 21-acetate ester of chloroprednisone. Chloroprednisone acetate was sold under the brand name Topilan as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Deprodone is a steroid that was approved in Japan for the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders. The drug is marketed under the name Eclar and contains 0.3% of the prodrug, deprodone propionate.
