There is a little information about acetoxolone. It is known, that this drug is an acetyl derivative of the glycyrrhetinic acid, which is used to treat peptic ulcer.

Acetoxolone aluminum is an antiulcer drug, introduced in 1981 by Italian company Inverni Beffa under the tradename Oriens

Osutidine (T-593) is a H2 receptor antagonist which was undergoing development by Toyama Chemical for the treatment of peptic/gastric and duodenal ulcers. It is a beta-hydroxyphenethylamine derivative with both antisecretory and cytoprotective properties. Osutidine inhibited the histamine-induced cAMP generation in a concentration-dependent manner. Osutidine suppressed the maximal response of the histamine-induced positive chronotropic response, indicating that the compound is unsurmountable H2-antagonists. The metabolism of Osutidine in humans may not differ from that of rodents and dogs. No clinically relevant accumulation occurred following repeated dosage. In the single oral and subcutaneous dose toxicity studies in rats, there were no dead animals. The oral LD50 value was greater than 5 g/kg for both sexes, and there was no abnormality in general signs. An oral formulation of the drug was in phase III clinical trials in Japan, however Toyama has dropped it from clinical development.

Cyclovalone is a synthetic curcumin derivative in which the keto-enolic system is replaced by a cyclohexanone ring. Cyclovalone is a choleretic and cholagogic agent which stimulates the formation and secretion of bile, and also has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Sulfacarbamide is an antimicrobial agent that has been investigated as a therapeutic biochemical for diabetes treatment. Sulfacaramide - has a bacteriostatic effect due to competitive antagonism with PABA, preventing its inclusion in Dihydrofolic acid, which leads to a violation of the synthesis of tetrahydrofolic acid. Thus, the synthesis of nucleic acids is broken, as a result of which the growth and multiplication of microorganisms are suppressed.

Acetiromate was studied to treat patients with hyperlipidemia.

Dalcotidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that demonstrated potent gastric mucosal protective activity on acute gastric lesions and duodenal ulcers. Dalcotidine was discontinued in phase III of clinical trials in Japan.

Osalmid (Oxaphenamide) is a choleretic drug. It is also recommended for use as a choleretic, principally in combination with antibiotics, in the convalescent stage of infectious hepatitis.

Tesaglitazar, a dihydro cinnamate derivative (AZ 242), is a dual agonist of PPARα and γ that demonstrates IC50 values of 1 and 0.2 µM, respectively. It has been investigated its potential to address disorders in glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes. The drug had completed several phase III clinical trials, however in May, 2006 AstraZeneca announced that it had discontinued further development. Following analysis and interpretation of recently obtained results from the first four of eight phase 3 clinical trials (GALLANT 6,7,8 and 9) and one phase 2 trial (ARMOR), which were reviewed in consultation with external experts, the company considers that the overall benefit/risk profile is unlikely to offer patients significant advantage over currently available therapy. Central to the decision is data showing elevations in serum creatinine and an associated decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The magnitude of the serum creatinine elevation was greater than anticipated based on earlier clinical studies. Such elevations reversed towards baseline upon stopping treatment with the drug and have not been associated with kidney toxicity.

Mitiglinide is a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes currently marked under tradename Glufast. Glufast® is available as the tablet for oral use, containing 5 mg or 10 mg of Mitiglinide calcium hydrate. The recommended dose is 10 mg three times daily just before each meal (within 5 minutes). Mitiglinide was approved by Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA) on January 29, 2004, and is currently co-marketed in Japan by Kissei and Takeda. Mitiglinide is a rapid-acting insulin secretion-stimulating agent, its belongs to the meglitinide (glinide) class of blood glucose-lowering drugs. Mitiglinide is thought to stimulate insulin secretion by closing the ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels in pancreatic beta-cells.
