Aptiganel (CNS 1102, Cerestat), a selective ligand with antagonized properties for the ion-channel site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-channel complex, was developed as a neuroprotective agent for focal brain ischemia. However, in the clinical trials in patients with acute ischemic stroke aptiganel was not efficacious at either of the tested doses and may be harmful. That is why its further study was discontinued.

Beraprost is a stable, orally active prostacyclin analogue. Beraprost acts by binding to prostacyclin membrane receptors ultimately inhibiting the release of Ca2+ from intracellular storage sites. This reduction in the influx of Ca2+ has been postulated to cause relaxation of the smooth muscle cells and vasodilation. Beraprost is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and improvement of ulcers, pain & feeling of coldness associated with chronic arterial occlusion. In addition beraprost displays thyroid hormone receptor antagonistic properties.

Dexibuprofen, S(+)-ibuprofen, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and active dextrorotatory enantiomer of ibuprofen. Pharmacotherapeutic effects of dexibuprofen are more potent with lesser side effects than that of the racemic mixture of both isomers. In the acute and chronic treatment of osteoarthritis, it exhibits equivalent efficacy and tolerability as that of celecoxib. Dexibuprofen is a non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX), which is an enzyme involved in prostaglandin (mediators of pain and fever) and thromboxane (stimulators of blood clotting) synthesis via the arachidonic acid pathway. Dexibuprofen is a non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor and hence, it inhibits the activity of both COX-1 and COX-2. The inhibition of COX-2 activity decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in mediating inflammation, pain, fever, and swelling while the inhibition of COX-1 is thought to cause some of the side effects of Dexibuprofen including GI ulceration. The major disadvantage of dexibuprofen is its low bioavailability, the account of its low solubility in physiological media.

Efaproxiral is a synthetic, small molecule, radiation-sensitising agent being developed by Allos Therapeutics primarily for the treatment of cancer. It works by binding and allosterically stabilising deoxyhaemoglobin in hypoxic regions of tumour tissue. This increases oxygen uptake of the tumour tissue and restores its sensitivity to radiation therapy, making therapy potentially more successful. But no benefit was seen for efaproxiral in phase III clinical trials. The only serious adverse effect detected was hypoxaemia. Efaproxiral is explicitly excluded from the 2012 World Anti-Doping Agency list of Prohibited Substances and is explicitly included in the Prohibited Methods section M1 as a forbidden procedure to alter the oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve in order to allosterically modify haemoglobin.

Methylbenzethonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium with antimicrobial activity, which is used in combination with aminoglycoside antibiotic, paromomycin (brand name LESHCUTAN) for the topical treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Delmopinol, a surface-active cationic agent. It was approved by FDA under the name Decapinol for the treatment of gingivitis and prevention of periodontitis. The drug interacts with the early acquired pellicle, the thin layer of saliva polymers and proteins covering teeth and gums, and forms a barrier over teeth and gums. This barrier prevents the microbial adhesion and colonisation on the tooth and gum surface. Delmopinol itself has no bactericidal activity.

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.

Dibunate (also known as Becantex, Becantyl, Linctussal, L-1633, and described as the 2,6-isomer or the 2,7-isomer) is an antitussive oral medication that was used in many counties all over the world. The current marketing status of the drug is unknown and is supposed to be "discontinued".

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
