Aceneuramic acid (also known as N-Acetylneuraminic Acid, Neu5Ac, the UX 001 tablets) prolonged released had been filed a marketing authorization application with the European Medicines Agency by Ultragenyx in the EU for the treatment of hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM), a rare, progressive muscle-wasting disease. This compound, a muscle protein stimulant, is also in phase II of the clinical trial for the treatment thrombocytopenia. In addition, recently was made studies, which had shown, that existed the significant positive correlation between serum and salivary sialic acid levels in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients.

Verdinexor (KPT-335) is a small-molecule selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE). Karyopharm Therapeutics has recently developed first-in-class, novel SINE compounds using molecular modeling to screen a small virtual library of compounds against the NES groove of human exportin-1 (XPO1). These compounds inhibit nuclear-cytoplasmic export by reversibly binding to the cargo recognition site of XPO1 and are orally bioavailable. Verdinexor was shown to potently and selectively inhibit vRNP export and effectively inhibited the replication of various influenza virus A and B strains in vitro, including pandemic H1N1 virus, highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus, and the recently emerged H7N9 strain. Verdinexor is in development for the treatment of viral indications. Verdinexor is being evaluated for the treatment of lymphomas in pet dogs with newly-diagnosed or first relapse after chemotherapy lymphomas.

Acid green 50 (Lissamine Green B) is a synthetically produced organic acid dye with two aminophenyl groups. Acid green 50 is extensively used as a food dye and has a medical application as a staining agent. Due to its low toxicity and ability to stain dead and damaged cells the dye (in form of lissamine green strips) was approved as a tool for diagnosis of eye diseases associated with the damage of ocular surface epithelial cells.
