Trimazosin was originated by Pfizer and was licensed to Bristol-Myers Squibb worldwide except for Canada, Mexico and the USA. Trimazosin is a quinazoline antihypertensive agent structurally related to the selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor blocker prazosin. Trimazosin is an alpha adrenergic receptor antagonist. Compared with prazosin, trimazosin was a less potent but more efficacious hypotensive agent. At doses which caused equal or even greater hypotensive effects than those caused by prazosin, trimazosin caused less inhibition of pressor responses to phenylephrine. When administered during a maximum hypotensive response to prazosin, trimazosin caused an additional fall in pressure. Trimazosin is an effective antihypertensive when given by itself or in combination with a diuretic. Its ability to induce vasodilation without concomitant sodium retention or stimulation of the renin axis may be an important factor in its effectiveness. Trimazosin has the potential to cause sustained improvement in left ventricular function, both at rest and during exercise, in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF).

Mebeverine is an antispasmodic with a direct action on the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract. The exact mechanism of action is not known, but multiple mechanisms, such as a decrease in ion channel permeabilities, blockade of noradrenaline reuptake, a local anesthetic effects, as well as weak anti-muscarinic and phosphodiesterase inhibitory effect might contribute to the local effects of Mebeverine. This medicine is used to treat symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and similar problems such as chronic irritable colon, spastic constipation, mucous colitis and spastic colitis. Most people will not have problems with Mebeverine, but some may get some side effects, such as: difficulty in breathing, swelling of face, neck, tongue or throat, skin rash, red itchy skin.

Alrestatin, an inhibitor of aldose reductase, was studied in clinical trials for the treatment of diabetes. But this study was discontinued, because of the high hepatotoxicity events.

Chromonar is a coronary vasodilator agent, it dilates coronary vessels and increases coronary blood flow volume rate, contributes to the development of collateral circulation (with prolonged use), improves metabolic processes in myocardium. The mechanism of action of a role played by its inhibitory effect on phosphodiesterase, accompanied by accumulation in the cells of cyclic 3 ', 5'-adenosine monophosphate. Due to the relatively low therapeutic efficacy Chromonar use is limited, mainly in the early stages of coronary heart disease with angina pectoris in the absence of long-standing and long strokes, when there is no expressed stenotic process.

Antimonic acid is an inorganic acid formed by antimony. As an ion-exchange material crystalline antimonic acid may be used for the regeneration of heteropolyacid catalysts. In addition, as a proton conductor, it may be used for gas sensing.

Acexamic acid (N-acetyl-amino-6-hexanoic acid) is a drug used as a cicatrization helper. Some studies show that the acexamic acid prevents the formation the connective inflamed tissue and enables its healing. The association from acexamic acid with zinc, zinc acexamate, has been used in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer and in the prevention of gastric ulcer induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), an endogenous intermediary metabolite in the Krebs cycle, is a molecule involved in multiple metabolic and cellular pathways. As an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, AKG is essential for the oxidation of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose. Extracellular AKG is a significant source of energy for cells of the gastrointestinal tract. As a precursor for the synthesis of glutamate and glutamine in multiple tissues (including liver, skeletal muscle, heart, brain, and white adipose tissue), AKG bridges carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism for both conservation of amino acids and ammonia detoxification. Additionally, emerging evidence shows that AKG is a regulator of gene expression and cell signaling pathways (including the mammalian target of rapamycin and AMPactivated protein kinase). Thus, AKG is an attractive dietary supplement in animal and human nutrition to improve cellular energy status, immunity, and health.AKG can decrease protein catabolism and increase protein synthesis to enhance bone tissue formation in the skeletal muscles and can be used in clinical applications. In addition to these health benefits, a recent study has shown that AKG can extend the lifespan of adult Caenorhabditis elegans by inhibiting ATP synthase and TOR. Orally, AKG is used for kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders, bacterial overgrowth, intestinal toxemia, liver dysfunction, and chronic candidiasis. It is also used for improving peak athletic performance, improving amino acid metabolism in hemodialysis patients, and cataracts. Intravenously, AKG is used for preventing ischemic injury during heart surgery, improving renal blood flow after heart surgery, and preventing muscle protein depletion after surgery or trauma.

Taurocholic acid is a bile acid and is the product of conjugation of cholic acid with taurine. Its sodium salt is the chief ingredient of the bile of carnivorous animals. Taurocholic acid, as with all bile acids, acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for absorption and is itself absorbed. It is used as a cholagogue and cholerectic (a bile purging agent). Hydrolysis of taurocholic acid yields taurine, a nonessential amino acid. Taurocholic acid is one of the main components of urinary nonsulfated bile acids in biliary atresia. Raised levels of the bile acid taurocholate in the fetal serum in obstetric cholestasis may result in the development of a fetal dysrhythmia and in sudden intra-uterine death. In medical use, it is administered as a cholagogue and choleretic. Taurocholic acid is a potent TGR5 ligand, and in dogs, colonic perfusion with TCA induces PYY secretion. TCA enemas could stimulate GLP-1 and PYY secretion in obese patients with type 2 diabetes receiving the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, sitagliptin. Satiogen Pharmaceuticals is developing rectally administered taurocholic acid, a bile acid, for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Cetraxate is an oral gastrointestinal medication, mucosal protectant. Cetraxate might indirectly stimulate capsaicin-sensitive afferent nerves and increase mucosal blood flow, and that this may be a key mechanism underlying its gastroprotective action. Cetraxate prevents gastric mucosal blood flow decrease in H. pylori-infected patients. It is usually used to improve gastric mucosal lesion in acute gastritis or acute exacerbation of chronic gastritis and to treat gastric ulcer. The most commonly reported adverse reactions include constipation, rash, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth and diarrhea.

Temocapril is a prodrug-type angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor not approved for use in the United States but is approved in Japan and South Korea. Temocapril can also be used in hemodialysis patients without risk of serious accumulation.
