Enviomycin, antimicrobial drug, was isolated in Japan from fermentation broth of Syteptomyces griseoverticillatus var tuberacticus. This drug, a water-soluble, basic peptide, is effective against tubercle bacilli as well as some gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is related to viomycin and cepreomycin in some of its physicochemical properties. It is used for the treatment of Mycobacterium avium caused lung diseases.

Egualen is an azulene derivative developed for the treatment of peptic ulcer and marketed in Japan under the tradename Azuloxa. The drug exerts its antiulcer activity by antagonizing TXA2 production.

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.

Sarpogrelate (brand name Anplag; former developmental code names MCI-9042, LS-187,118) is a drug which acts as an antagonist at the 5HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors. It blocks serotonin-induced platelet aggregation and has applications in the treatment of many diseases including diabetes mellitus, Buerger's disease, Raynaud's disease, coronary artery disease, angina pectoris, and atherosclerosis.

Aluminum gluconate is added to an electrolytic solution for an electrolytic capacitor, the dissolution of aluminum cathode foil caused by high-temperature.

Olamufloxacin (HSR-903) is an oral fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agent which has been reported to have a potent activity against respiratory pathogens, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Chlamydia spp. and Legionella spp., as well. Olamufloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase from the susceptible and resistant bacterial strains. It has been shown that olamufloxacin possesses a more potent antibacterial activity against potential respiratory pathogens compared with other quinolone derivatives. An oral formulation of olamufloxacin was undergoing phase III for Bacterial infections in Japan (Discontinued).

Ozagrel is a thromboxane A2 synthesis inhibitor used for the treatment of cerebral vasospasm and asthma due to its antiplatelet and anti-inflammation properties.

Lenampicillin is a prodrug of ampicillin that inhibits bacterial penicillin binding proteins (transpeptidase) and thus is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections. The drug was developed and marketed in Japan (Takacillin, Varacillin), however its current marketing status is unknown and supposed to be discontinued.

Nemonoxacin is a non-fluorinated quinolone antibiotic in clinical development in an oral and intravenous formulation. It exhibits potent antibacterial activities against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and atypical pathogens, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The molecule inhibits bacterial DNA synthesis by forming a ternary complex with a DNA molecule and gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, thus blocking bacterial DNA supercoiling. Nemonoxacin is developed by TaiGen Biotechnology Company and has reached worldwide approval in 2014 and is marketed under the name Taigexyn®.

Cetiedil is effective potassium channel blocker used as a peripheral vasodilator to treat patients with painful crises in sickle cell anemia and pain in the extremities caused by an arterial disease. Known pharmacological properties of the drug include vascular smooth muscle relaxation, inhibition of phosphodiesterase with the consequent increase in circulating cyclic AMP concentration, blockade of the effect of bradykinin and serotonin, analgesia, inhibition of platelet aggregation and the decrease of plasma and blood viscosity and plasma fibrinogen level. The antisickling effect of cetiedil is explained mainly in the light of the changes it induces in the activities of membrane-bound ATPases and the permeability properties of the erythrocyte membrane to cations and anions.
