Rupatadine is characterised as a non-sedating H1 anti-histamine and platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist. Rupatadine is indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Rupatadine is a safe and well tolerated drug in patients over 2 years old, with no central nervous system or cardiovascular effects and it can be taken with or without foods.
Dimebon (latrepirdine) is an orally available, small molecule, gamma carboline derivative that was developed and used in Russia as an over-the-counter oral antihistamine for allergy treatment since 1980s. In 1990s it was shown that Dimebon has promising potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases. In 2003, Medivation Inc acquired the rights to Dimebon. Medivation went public in December 2004, with Dimebon as the only drug in its pipeline. The product was being developed by Medivation and Pfizer as a treatment for early-stage Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease. However, development was discontinued by Medivation and Pfizer in early 2012. Dimebon inhibits alpha-Adrenergic receptors (alpha1A, alpha1B, alpha1D, and alpha2A), Histamine H1 and H2 receptors and Serotonin 5-HT2c, 5-HT5A, 5-HT6 receptors with high affinity. Dimebon may act by blocking NMDA receptors or voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and by preventing mitochondrial permeability pore transition.

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

Spaglumic acid (NAAG) is the β-aspartyl isoform of N-Acetyl-l-aspartylglutamate (isospaglumic Acid is N-(N-Acetyl-l-α-aspartyl)-l-glutamic acid). In eye drops, spaglumic acid is either a magnesium or sodium salt of N-Acetyl-l-aspartylglutamate. Spaglumic acid is a mast cell stabilizer. Thus it is used in allergic conditions such as allergic conjunctivitis. Specifically spaglumic acid is approved in Portugal under the brand name Naabak and in Greece under the brand name Naaxia for use in patients with allergic conjunctivitis. Spaglumic Acid is a peptide neurotransmitter and the third-most-prevalent neurotransmitter in the mammalian nervous system. It is a weak activator of NMDA receptors and a highly selective agonist for mGlu3 receptors. Spaglumic Acid is neuroprotective under non-hydrolysing conditions in vivo.
cis-Dosulepin is a stereoisomer of Dothiepin (trade name Prothiaden, Dothep, Thaden, and Dopress; Dosulepin (INN, BAN) a tricyclic antidepressant that is used in several European and South Asian countries, as well as Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. Dosulepin is used for the treatment of the major depressive disorder and neuropathic pain. Dosulepin is only Therapeutic Goods Administration and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency approved for the treatment of the major depressive disorder. Dothiepin is not used in the United States. The central action of cis-dosulepin was compared with that of its antidepressant stereoisomer trans-dosulepin, cis-dosulepin exerted weaker anti-reserpine, anti-tetrabenazine, and 3H-5-HT (serotonin) uptake inhibiting actions than trans-dosulepin, but cis-dosulepin's inhibition of 3H-dopamine and 3H-norepinephrine uptake was slightly more potent than that of trans-dosulepin. On the other hand, cis-dosulepin exhibited extremely potent anticholinergic action in oxotremorine induced tremor, isolated ileum and the 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate binding test. It also showed potent apomorphine enhancing the action and shortened the period of immobility in the forced swimming test in animals.

Mefenidramium is an active ingredient of the Danish drug Paradryl that was used to treat pruritus with varicella and as a palliative treatment of estival rhinitis in children.
Fenspiride is an oxazolidinone spiro compound used as a drug in the treatment of certain respiratory diseases. It is approved for use in Russia for the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases of ENT organs and the respiratory tract (like rhinopharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheobronchitis, otitis and sinusitis), as well as for maintenance treatment of asthma. Fenspiride is marketed under the brand names Eurespal, Pneumorel, SYRESP, Oxofen and others. Erespal (fenspiride) is a drug with a bronchodilator and spasmolytic effect, which is often used in the complex therapy of bronchial asthma. Fenspiride has a clinically proven ability to increase the activity of the cilia of the bronchial ciliated epithelium, normalize the secretion of the bronchi and reduce its viscosity. Effectively removes bronchial obstruction, restores pulmonary gas exchange. Inhibits the metabolism of arachidonic acid, in parallel blocking histamine H1-receptors, since it is histamine that stimulates the chemical reactions of the transformation of arachidonic acid into the final metabolites-factors of inflammation. Reduces the production of other mediators of inflammation - serotonin and bradykinin. It blocks α-adrenergic receptors, the activation of which increases the secretion of bronchial glands. The complex effect of fenspiride reduces the pathological effect of a number of factors that promote hypersecretion of anti-inflammatory substances and cause obstruction of the bronchial tree. Has a pronounced antispasmodic and myotropic effect.
Flupenthixol is a thioxanthene antipsychotic used in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychoses, with the exception of mania and psychomotor hyperactivity due to an activating effect associated with this drug. It may also be employed as an antidepressant. Flupenthixol has a wide range of pharmacological actions. Flupenthixol blocks dopaminergic receptors, thus interfering with dopaminergic transmission in the brain. Flupenthixol also inhibits serotonin 5-HT, histamine H1, muscarinic and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors.
Lonazolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The mononuclear cell response to a synovial stimulus can be abolished by very low concentrations of lonazolac. This blockade can be completely released by the addition of prostaglandin E2. Lonazolac appears therefore as an agent able in addition to modulate the immune response. The release of histamine from human basophils was significantly decreased after preincubation of the cells with lonazolac Ca. Preincubation of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes with lonazolac Ca led to an inhibition of leukotriene generation induced by either the Ca ionophore or opsonized zymosan. Lonazolac Ca affected different enzymes of the platelet activating factor metabolism. After pre- and post-treatment with lonazolac-Ca, the numbers of animals with lung metastases and the score of metastases significantly decreased. Lonazolac-Ca is indicated for the treatment of painful inflammatory rheumatic diseases of the joints and the spine. Acute irritation in osteoarthritis and spondylosis. Soft tissue rheumatism. Post-traumatic and postoperative pain and swelling states.

Eprozinol inhibits bronchoconstriction by an action on histamine H1 receptors and has been used in the treatment of asthma and bronchitis. No significant changes in cAMP and cGMP levels are observed in guinea pig trachea, with eprozinol or isoprenaline, at doses capable of inducing relaxation. Eprozinol is only a very weak phosphodiesterase inhibitor, at large concentrations. The anti-bronchoconstrictor activities of eprozinol and isoprenaline with regard to histamine are directly additive and show absolutely no interference with one another. Propranolol is without effect on in vivo anti-bronchoconstrictor activity of eprozinol on tracheal musculature. It is concluded, that the mechanisms brought into play by eprozinol to exert anti-bronchoconstrictor and bronchorelaxant activity, are completely independent of the adrenergic system. In a retrospective study of 199 cases of accidental or intentional acute poisoning with eprozinol, eprazinone and zipeprol, collected at the Poison Control Center were seven cases of seizures, all after ingestion of eight times the therapeutic dose. They resolved rapidly and without recurrence with symptomatic treatment.
