THALLOUS OXIDE (Thallium (1) Oxide) has been used in the manufacturing of glass of a high coefficient of refraction for optical purposes (thallium flint glass) and for artificial gems. Thallium oxide is black in color and is the inorganic compound of Thallium and Oxygen. THALLOUS OXIDE compounds are typically insoluble in aqueous solutions (water) and extremely stable making them useful in ceramic structures as simple as producing clay bowls to advanced electronics (e.g. tablets) and in light weight structural components in aerospace and electrochemical applications such as fuel cells. THALLOUS OXIDE is toxic by ingestion. It has previously been used as rat poison and ant killer, but its use is prohibited since 1972.

Potassium Trihydrogen Dioxalate is a Potassium salt used in photography, marble grinding, and in metal polishing. Potassium Trihydrogen Dioxalate is strongly irritating to eyes, mucous and gastrointestinal tract. Potassium Trihydrogen Dioxalate may cause cardiac failure and death after oral administration

Efonidipine is a 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative for the treatment of hypertension and angina. Efonidipine exerts its antihypertensive and antianginal effects through blocking L- and T-type calcium channels.

Diamminedichlorodihydroxyplatinum IV is the platinum-based antineoplasticis agent. Oxaliplatin is cis, cis, trans- isomer of Diamminedichlorodihydroxyplatinum IV. Oxaliplatin show high stability and therefore can be utilized orally for outpatient care. Although oxoplatin is capable of binding directly to DNA after prolonged incubation, platinum(IV) agents are considered to be largely inert prodrugs that are converted to highly cytotoxic platinum(II) compounds by reducing substances, enzymes, or microenvironmental conditions. Reaction of oxoplatin with 0.1 M hydrogen chloride mimicking gastric acid yields cis-diammine-tetrachlorido-platinum(IV) (DATCP[IV]), which exhibits two-fold increased activity. The oxoplatin metabolite DATCP(IV) constitutes a potent cytotoxic derivative that may be produced by gastric acid or acidic areas prevailing in larger solid tumors, depending on the respective pharmaceutical formulation of oxoplatin.

MK-0752 is a potent, reversible inhibitor of γ-secretase, which inhibits γ-secretase to cleave substrates such as amyloid precursor protein. MK-0752 shows promising effects on inhibiting the growth of several types of cancer cells and was investigated in clinical trials for cancer treatment. For example in ovarian cancer models MK-0752 alone actively induced cell growth inhibition, G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis with down-regulation of Notch1 and its downstream effectors in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, the sequential combination of cisplatin prior to MK-0752 significantly promoted cell apoptosis and inhibited the subcutaneous xenograft growth of ovarian cancer in nude mice. Through its effects on the Notch pathway, MK-0752 reduces the number of breast cancer stem cells in tumorgrafts, enhancing the efficacy of the chemotherapy drug docetaxel in mice with breast cancer tumors. Unfortunately, in phase II clinical trials MK-0752 failed to demonstrate efficacy.

Lercanidipine is antihypertensive drugs which acts by blocking L-type calcium channels, allowing relaxation and opening of blood vessels. Lercanidipine exists as a racemate, with anti-hypertensive activity residing primarily in S-enantiomer. NDA for lercanidipine was submitted to FDA in 2002 by Forest Laboratories, but FDA refused to approve the drug, and lercanidipine is not marketed in USA. Lercanidipine is also investigated in preclinical models of epilepsy and ischemic stroke.

Thiobutabarbital is a barbiturate derivative invented in the 1950s. It has sedative, anticonvulsant and hypnotic effects, it is used in veterinary medicine for induction in surgical anaesthesia. Thiobutabarbital was formerly used as anesthetic Inactin. ‘Inactin’ (sodium thiobutabarbital) produces smooth induction of anaesthesia after intravenous administration and has a prolonged duration of action. It has variable analgesic activity.

Xylamidine is a peripherally-restricted antagonist of 5HT2A and 5HT1A receptor. It is used to study the role of the serotonin receptors in the regulation of food intake, cardiovascular function, and regulation of body temperature.

Casopitant (GW679769) is a novel substituted piperidine derivative that competitively binds with NK1 receptors. The full occupancy of the receptor by their piperidine compound inhibits its binding with tachykinin neurotransmitters, including SP. Casopitant, in a series of in vitro and in vivo experimentations, has exhibited a potent NK1 receptor antagonism. On 29 May 2008, GlaxoSmithKline announced the submission of a new drug application to the FDA for intravenous and oral formulations of casopitant mesylate. This drug was proposed for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting as an add-on therapy to the standard dual therapy of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists + dexamethasone. The submission also included a proposed indication for postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention. Rezonic™ is the proposed trade name for casopitant mesylate in the United States; Zunrisa™ is the proposed trade name for casopitant mesylate for GlaxoSmithKline’s global group of companies. In September 2009, GlaxoSmithKline decided to discontinue all regulatory filings for casopitant based on an estimate of the amount of additional safety data.

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.
