Sulazepam is a desmethylbenzodiazepine. It is the thioamide derivative of diazepam. It has sedative, muscle relaxant, hypnotic, anticonvulsant and anxiolytic properties like those of other benzodiazepines. Sulazepam in vivo in experimental animals undergoes enzymic desulfonation, demethylation, and [3C] hydroxylation, with the formation of basic metabolites: diazepam, desmethyldiazepam, and oxazepam.

Ralimetinib (LY2228820), a trisubstituted imidazole derivative, is a potent and selective, ATP-competitive inhibitor of the α- and β-isoforms of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. LY2228820 produced significant tumor growth delay in multiple in vivo cancer models (melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian, glioma, myeloma, breast). Eli Lilly is developing ralimetinib for the treatment of cancer.

Clemeprol is an antidepressant drug of the 3,3-diraylpropyl-amine type. It exhibits antireserpine activity in animal tests, inhibits the neuronal uptake of noradrenaline. The drug was used in the clinic for the treatment of depression in the 1980s, but no development was reported since.

Octabenzone is a UV absorber/screener. It is used to protect polymers (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylchloride) against damage by UV light.

Betacetylmethadol is a synthetic narcotic analgesic under international control according to the UN Single Convention 1961.

Dacinostat (also known as LAQ824), is a hydroxamate histone deacetylase inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. Dacinostat inhibits histone deacetylase enzymatic activities in vitro and transcriptionally activated the p21 promoter in reporter gene assays. Tumor cells treated with Dacinostat caused acetylation of HSP90 and degradation of its cargo oncoproteins. Flow cytometry studies revealed that both tumor cell lines and normal diploid fibroblasts arrested in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle after Dacinostat treatment. However, an increased sub-G1 population at 48 h (reminiscent of apoptotic cells) was only observed in the cancer cell lines treated with Dacinostat. Dacinostat exhibited antitumor effects in a xenograft animal models. In phase I trials, Dacinostat was well tolerated at doses that induced accumulation of histone acetylation, with higher doses inducing changes consistent with HSP90 inhibition. In another phase 1 in patients with advanced solid tumors, grade 3 or 4 toxicities were observed. Dacinostat had been in phase II clinical trials by Novartis for the treatment of solid tumors but further studies were discontinued.

Cinperene is an investigational compound proposed for clinical use as a strong and long-acting peripheral central anticholinergic. In animal models, cinperene inhibited mydriasis, pilocarpine-induced salivation, and lacrimation, scratching, hunching and other symptoms.

Hydroxyflutamide is the major active metabolite of flutamide. Flutamide undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism by CYP1A2 to its metabolite hydroxyflutamide and its hydrolysis product, 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitroaniline. Hydroxyflutamide is a more powerful antiandrogen in vivo, with higher affinity for the receptor than that of flutamide. Hydroxyflutamide is in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of prostate cancer. However, a drug resistance problem appears after about one year's treatment. Per-residue free energy decomposition analyses indicate that N705, T877, and M895 androgen receptor mutations are vital residues in the agonist/antagonist mechanism of hydroxyflutamide.

Ciproquazone (SL-573) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, a derivative of quinazolinone, discovered by Sumimoto Chemical Co. in the late 1970s. Ciproquazone acts as a reversible inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase. In animal models, ciproquazone demonstrated antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity. The drug was evaluated in a clinical in acute purulent diseases in the field of orodental surgery.

Pipequaline (PK-8165, 2-phenyl-4[2-(4-piperidinyl) ethyl]quinoline) is a benzodiazepine receptor partial agonist.
