Nafagrel [DP 1904, SR 96325] is a thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitor that was undergoing clinical trials with Daiichi Seiyaku, now Daiichi Pharmaceutical, for the diabetic angiopathies, lupus nephritis and Raynaud's disease in Japan. However the development of Nafagrel has been discontinued.

Bensuldazic acid was used in veterinary as an antifungal agent.

Talaglumetad (also known as LY-544344) is a bicyclohexane derivative patented by Eli Lilly and Company as modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor. Talaglumetad acts as a prodrug of Eglumegad, a selective agonist of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2/3) and metabolized to release active compound by both human jejunal homogenates and rat liver homogenates. In experiments on mice, Talaglumetad was found to be as effective as diazepam for treating anxiety symptoms in several standard tests, but without producing any of the negative side effects of diazepam such as sedation and memory impairment.

CS-834 is a beta-lactam antibiotic of a carbapenem class, developed by the Japanese company Sankyo Co. Ltd. CS-834 is an ester-type prodrug of the active metabolite R-95867. The drug showed potent and well balanced antibacterial activity as well as stability against dehydropeptidase-I. The in vivo efficacy of CS-834 was evaluated in murine systemic infections caused by 16 strains of gram-positive and -negative pathogens. The efficacy of CS-834 was in many cases superior to those of cefteram pivoxil, cefpodoxime proxetil, cefdinir, and cefditoren pivoxil, especially against infections caused by S. aureus, penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae, E. coli, Citrobacter freundii, and Proteus vulgaris. Pharmacokinetics of CS-834 was evaluated in healthy male volunteers, but no further clinical development of the drug was reported.

Epetirimod (S-30563 or TAK-851) is an immunostimulant. The compound is structurally related to the marketed topical imidazoquinoline drug, imiquimod, an agonist of Toll-like receptor 7. Epetirimod was under development with Takeda Pharmaceutical as a topical treatment for cervical high-risk HPV infection and cervical dysplasia. Takeda has discontinued epetirimod development as it did not meet the predefined efficacy end points in a US Phase II trial.

Tibenelast is an orally active phosphodiesterase inhibitor that was undergoing phase II clinical trials in the USA as a bronchodilator. In preclinical studies Tibenelast is moderately active against the lung and stomach enzyme while being a very weak inhibitor of the heart enzyme and it does not inhibit enzymes involved in arachidonic acid metabolism. Tibenelast shows potent anti-anaphylactic activity in guinea pigs without cardiovascular effects at the bronchodilatory doses.

Amifloxacin [WIN 49375] is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial with a broad range of activity against aerobic Gram-negative and some aerobic Gram-positive organisms. Amifloxacin is a DNA gyrase inhibitor. The 50% inhibiory concentration for supercoiling activity of E.coli KL16 DNA gyrase of amifloxacin (MIC, 0.10 ug/ml) was 2.47 ug/ml. Amifloxacin was in trials for the treatment of gram-negative infections, septic shock and urinary tract infections. However, development of amifloxacin has been discontinued.

Atrasentan (ABT-627, A-127722) is a selective endothelin A receptor antagonist. Atrasentan is being developed by AbbVie as an oral treatment for diabetic nephropathies.Abbott Laboratories was conducting clinical development of atrasentan for the treatment of certain cancers, including phase II trials for prostate cancer. However, no recent development has been reported for cancer indications and development is presumed to be discontinued.

Mexrenoate potassium is an aldosterone antagonist, which was developed as an antihypertensive agent. However, this drug has never been marketed.
