Glybuzole is a sulfonamide derivative with antihyperglycemic activity is used as antidiabetic. Glybuzole is able to lower blood glucose levels by increasing the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells.

Clinofibrate is known as a fibrate therapeutic drug for hyperlipidemia.

Exiproben is a choleretic drug marketed in Italy in the 1970s under the trademark of Etopalin and Droctil. When administered, exiproben potently stimulates the production of bile.

Ecabet is an anti-ulcer agent, marketed in Japan as an oral agent for treatment of gastric ulcers and gastritis. Ecabet eradicates Helicobacter pylori infection in gastric ulcer patients. Antibacterial effect of ecabet is demonstrated at low pH, is mediated by inhibition of bacterial urease and accompanied by interference with TLR4 signaling and pepsin inhibition. Ecabet is also investigated for the treatment of dry eye syndrome.

Lafutidine is a novel histamine H2 antagonist with gastroprotective activity. Lafutidine exhibited potent and long-lasting H2 antagonism and prolonged antisecretion. In addition, lafutidine showed a gastroprotective effect against noxious agents-induced gastric mucosal damage through capsaicin-sensitive afferent nerves. Lafutidine showed antiulcer activities against acute ulcer models, prevented gastric ulcer relapse of acetic ulcer. Adverse events observed during clinical trials included constipation, diarrhea, drug rash, nausea, vomiting and dizziness.It also activates calcitonin gene-related peptide, resulting in the stimulation of nitric oxide (NO) and regulation of gastric mucosal blood flow, increases somatostatin levels also resulting in less gastric acid secretion, causes the stomach lining to generate more mucin, inhibits neutrophil activation thus preventing injury from inflammation, and blocks the attachment of Helicobacter pylori to gastric cells

Ilaprazole or IY-81149 (2-[(4-methoxy-3-methyl)-2-pyridinyl]methylsulfinyl -5-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazole, CAS 172152-36-2) is a proton pump inhibitor. Ilaprazole revealed the characteristics as a strong proton pump inhibitor, and its potency against gastric acid secretion was superior to that of the reference drug, omeprazole. Ilaprazole is approved in China and South Korea for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disorders (GERD), dyspepsia and peptic ulcers. Recently it was discovered that ilaprazole inhibited the cancer growth by targeting T-cell-originated protein kinase (TOPK) both in vitro and in vivo.

Glaziovine is a pro-aporphine alkaloid with neuropharmacological properties. Glaziovine is an alkaloid, originally isolated from Ocotea glaziovii (Lauraceae), belonging to the fairly small proaporphine family. In the early 1970's its pharmacology was explored extensively by a pharmaceutical company (Simes S.p.A., Milano), and was registered as a tranquilizer under the trademark Suavedol®. It is also reported to possess anti-ulcer properties in humans.

Hypolipidemic agent, Nicomol is an ingredient of Cholexamin in Japan. Cholexamin, a lipid metabolism and peripheral circulation improving agent, was launched by KYORIN Pharmaceutical in 1971. It is indicated for the treatment of hyperlipemia, improvement in peripheral circulatory disorder resulting from the following diseases Chilblain, limb arterial occlusive disease (obstructive thromboarteritis and arteriosclerosis obliterans), Raynaud syndrome.

Fenipentol is a choleretic agent indicated for the treatment of chronic liver disease and bile duct disease. The drug is sold without prescription.

Rebamipide, an amino acid derivative of 2-(1H)-quinolinone, is used for mucosal protection, healing of gastroduodenal ulcers, and treatment of gastritis. It works by enhancing mucosal defense, scavenging free radicals, and temporarily activating genes encoding cyclooxygenase-2. Rebamipide is used in a number of Asian countries including Japan (marketed as Mucosta), South Korea, China, and India (where it is marketed under the trade name Rebagen). It is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States. Studies have shown that rebamipide can fight the damaging effects of NSAIDs on the GIT mucosa.
