Lofentanil is a pure mu-opioid receptor agonist derived from fentanyl. It is the most potent opioid to be administered to humans, about 500-1000 times more potent than morphine. Lofentanil provides a higher affinity quotient with longer dissociation times for the mu-receptors than fentanyl. The clinical study of the compound is difficult because there is a very individual sensibility. The appropriate doses are not easy to evaluate. Reversal of the loventanil depression needs very high and repeated naloxone dose. Practical use of lofentanil is limited. Lofentanil side effects are: nausea, vomiting and sedation.

Caloxetate Trisodium is triazaundecanedioic acid derivative patented by German pharmaceutical company as liver-specific magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.

Acolbifene, the active metabolite of EM-800, was identified as a pure antagonist that acts on both activation domains of the ERs. It is in Phase III clinical trials for the prevention of breast cancer and vasomotor symptoms (Hot flush) in postmenopausal women. Most commonly reported adverse events included irregular menses, leg/muscle cramps, diarrhea, and hot flashes. No serious adverse events were reported.

An orally bioavailable inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and thropomyosin receptor kinase A (TRKA), with potential antineoplastic activity. CDK2/TRKA inhibitor PHA-848125 AC potently inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and exhibits activity against other CDKs including CDK1 and CDK4, in addition to TRKA. Inhibition of these kinases may result in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of tumor cells that express these kinases. Milciclib is currently in phase II clinical trials for thymic carcinoma, glioma and liver cancer. The most common adverse events are nausea and asthenia, vomiting, myasthenic syndrome, dehydration, hypophosphatemia, cytolytic hepatitis and plantar fasciitis.

Nisbuterol, a nicotinic acid ester, is a bronchodilator.

Cefmepidium is a semisynthetic cephalosporin with broad antibacterial activity against penicillin-resistant strains.

Evofosfamide, also formerly known as TH-302, is an investigational hypoxia-activated prodrug and is used to target cancerous cells under hypoxic conditions, which is a feature possessed by multiple solid tumors including glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. Within regions of tumor hypoxia, evofosfamide releases bromo isophosphoramide mustard (Br-IPM), a potent DNA alkylating agent that kills tumor cells by forming DNA crosslinks. Once activated in hypoxic tissues, Br-IPM can also diffuse into surrounding oxygenated regions of the tumor and kill cells there via a “bystander effect”. Because of its preferential activation in the targeted hypoxic regions of solid tumors, evofosfamide may be less likely to produce broad systemic toxicity seen with untargeted cytotoxic chemotherapies.

Lofemizole is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Lofemizole has proved to possess an interesting antiphlogistic activity in both animals and humans, associated with a favorable gastric and systemic tolerability.

NeuroSearch was developing brasofensine (or NS 2214), an oral dopamine reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Brasofensine successfully passed phase II clinical trial in patients with Parkinson's disease, The drug was safe and well tolerated. However, NeuroSearch discontinued the development of the drug because of the cis-anti isomerization of the 2α-methyloxime group of brasofensine in favor of NS 2230.
