Cenicriviroc (also referred to as TBR-652 and TAK-652) is an orally active, potent inhibitor of ligand binding to C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) and C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5). Cenicriviroc does not inhibit ligand binding to CCR1 (an alternative target of CCR5 ligands). The mean half-life in healthy volunteers is 35 to 40 hours, which allows daily dosing of the drug. Due to its CCR5 blocking activity, Cenicriviroc has initially been tested as a drug against CCR5-tropic HIV infection. In a double-blind placebo-controlled trial involving 54 HIV infected participants, Cenicriviroc monotherapy at different doses (25, 50, 75, 100, or 150 mg) led to a dose-dependent reduction in HIV-1 RNA levels and concomitant increases in circulating levels of the CCR2 ligand monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1, or CCL2), suggesting potent CCR2 and CCR5 inhibition in vivo. According to clinical trials, Cenicriviroc is a very safe drug with a wide therapeutic range and fairly low pharmacokinetic variability. In animal models of liver diseases, Cenicriviroc potently inhibits macrophage accumulation in the liver and ameliorates fibrosis. In a phase 2b clinical trial on 289 patients with NASH and fibrosis, Cenicriviroc consistently demonstrated liver fibrosis improvement after 1 year of therapy and had an excellent safety profile.

Onalespib (AT13387; (2,4-dihydroxy-5-isopropyl-phenyl)-[5-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl] methanone, l-lactic acid salt), is wholly owned by Astex, a novel, high-affinity HSP90 inhibitor, which is currently being clinically tested, has shown activity against a wide array of tumor cell lines, including lung cancer cell lines. As a targeted inhibitor of Hsp90, onalespib has the potential to control the proliferation of multiple solid tumors and hematological malignancies where uncontrolled cell growth is dependent on the interaction between Hsp90 and its client proteins. Astex is pursuing an approach based on the observation that addition of onalespib to a molecularly targeted agent may delay the emergence of resistance to the agent, and hence prolong the window of therapeutic benefit. Onalespib is currently being evaluated via a CRADA with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in various tumor types, and in a Phase 1/2 clinical study in combination with AT7519, Astex CDK inhibitor.

ENMD-2076 is an orally-active, Aurora A/angiogenic kinase inhibitor. urora kinases are key regulators of mitosis (cell division), and are often over-expressed in human cancers. ENMD-2076 also targets the VEGFR, Flt-3 and FGFR3 kinases, which have been shown to play important roles in the pathology of several cancers. ENMD-2076 is tested in phase 2 clinical trials against ovarian cancer, breast cance, hepatocellular carcinoma and other malignancies.

Lupitidine (SKF 93479) is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist. Lupitidine is a potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion with a long duration of action. It lacks an antiandrogenic effect. It enhances pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone drive by increasing thyroid hormone clearance. It exerts an antinociceptive effect in rodents.

Lysergide (LSD) is a semi-synthetic hallucinogen and is one of the most potent drugs known. Recreational use became popular between the 1960s to 1980s, but is now less common. LSD was first synthesized by Albert Hoffman while working for Sandoz Laboratories in Basel in 1938. Some years later, during a re-evaluation of the compound, he accidentally ingested a small amount and described the first ‘trip’. During the 1950s and 1960s, Sandoz evaluated the drug for therapeutic purposes and marketed it under the name Delysid®. It was used for research into the chemical origins of mental illness. Recreational use started in the 1960s and is associated with the ‘psychedelic period’. LSD possesses a complex pharmacological profile that includes direct activation of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine receptors. In addition, one of its chief sites of action is that of compound-specific (“allosteric”) alterations in secondary messengers associated with 5HT2A and 5HT2C receptor activation and changes in gene expression. The hallucinogenic effects of LSD are likely due to agonism at 5HT2A and 5HT2C receptors. LSD is also an agonist at the majority of known serotonin receptors, including 5HT1A, 5HT1B, 5HT1D, 5HT5A, 5HT6 and 5HT7 receptors. During the 1960s, LSD was investigated for a variety of psychiatric indications, including the following: as an aid in treatment of schizophrenia; as a means of creating a "model psychosis"; as a direct antidepressant; and as an adjunct to psychotherapy. LSD is listed in Schedule I of the United Nations 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

Semotiadil (also known as sesamodil or SD 3211) is a (+)-(R)-stereoisomer, the corresponding (−)-(S)-stereoisomer is called levosemotiadil. Semotiadil, a benzothiazine derivative was developed as a novel Ca2+ channel blocker with antiplatelet activity. Experiments on rodents have revealed that the drug had an advantage in the treatment of angina with regard to long-lasting action and selectivity for coronary artery and myocardium. In addition, semotiadil improved survival of rats with monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension: comparison with diltiazem. Semotiadil was studied in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension in Europe, and in Japan for the treatment of arrhythmias. However, the further development of semotiadil has now been discontinued.

Sunepitron (CP-93,393) is an anxiolytic drug with highly selective serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A autoreceptor agonist, alpha2-adrenergic antagonist, and dopamine D2 agonist properties. Sunepitron hydrochloride had been in Phase III clinical trials by Pfizer for the treatment of anxiety disorder and depression. However, this research has been discontinued.

Enpiprazole is a heterocyclic three-ringed pyrazolylalkyl piperazine derivative. Enpiprazole has a cataleptic action very similar to that of neuroleptics, and its effect on muscle relaxation is comparable with that of diazepam. Enpiprazole exerts anxiolytic properties in animals.

Norbudrine (KWD2109) is a sympathomimetic drug. It is an active bronchospasmolytic agent. KWD2109 shows an in vitro bronchospasmolytic acitivity which is about 14 times better than that of KWD2025. In the in vivo tests or guinea pig bronchospasmolytic activity KWD2109 has an effect which is about 3 times that of KWD2025 after intraperitoneal and oral administration
