TILIDINE is a low to medium potency opioid analgesic. It is metabolized to its active metabolites, nortilidine and bisnortilidine. Its analgesic activity is largely exerted through nortilidine which is a potent agonist at Mu opioid receptors.

Bopindolol (4-[benzoyloxy-3-tertbutylaminopropoxy]-2-methylindole hydrogen malonate) is an indole beta-adrenoceptor antagonist bearing a benzoyl ester residue on the beta-carbon atom of the propanolamine side chain. Bopindolol is metabolized by esterase to benzoic acid and an active metabolite, 18-502 [4-(3-t-butylamino-2-hydroxypropoxy)-2-methyl indole], which is further metabolized to 20-785 [4-(3-t-butylaminopropoxy)-2-carboxyl indole]. Bopindolol produces sustained blockade of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors, has intrinsic sympathomimetic as well as membrane stabilizing actions, inhibits renin secretion, and interacts with 5-HT receptors. Bopindolol is used in the treatment of hypertension. In limited trials bopindolol has also successfully reduced symptoms in patients with angina pectoris, anxiety and essential tremor.

Medifoxamine, an antidepressive drug, preferentially inhibits dopamine reuptake. It was marketed in France, but because of the hepatotoxicity, then was withdrawn.

Bencyclane, a cycloheptane, is a vasodilator, antiplasmodic and a platelet aggregation inhibitor found to be effective in a variety of peripheral circulation disorders. Bencyclane has various other potentially useful pharmacological effects such as smooth muscle relaxation. Under the trade name Halidor it is used in several European countries to treat the symptoms of atherosclerosis, occlusive arterial disease. Its mechanism may involve block of calcium channels. However as was shown in vitro it does not act by a direct influence on the Ca2+ pumps of vascular smooth muscle cells. In in vitro biochemical assays related to smooth muscle excitation-contraction coupling, binding to beta 1-, beta 2-, and alpha-adrenergic receptors, inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity, and antagonism of calcium accumulation bencyclane bound to alpha- and beta-receptors. Bencyclane appeared to be a promising anti-sickling agent that can be used orally in sickle cell anaemia (SCD).

Azaloxan is an antidepressant drug, developed in the 1980s but never marketed.

Artilide fumarate was developed as a drug for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias

Oxetorone is an antimigraine drug used for the disease-modifying treatment of migraines and marketed in several European countries. It works by non-selective inhibition of serotonin receptors and antihistamine agent. The therapeutic effects of oxetorone are primarily linked to antiserotonergic and also antihistamine and anti-adrenergic properties. Antidopaminergic properties are also suspected because hyperprolactinemia and extrapyramidal reactions have been observed. Adverse effects are: hypertonia, drowsiness at the start of treatment, diarrhoea and lymphocytic colitis. Acute intoxications by oxetorone, although uncommon, are potentially severe poisonings.

3-Aminopropionitrile (Beta-amino-propionitrile, BAPN) is a toxic constituent from lathyrus plants. BAPN found in lathyrus odoratus (our more common garden sweet pea plant) is thought to be responsible for osteolathyrism due to irreversible inhibition of lysyl oxidase (LOX), an enzyme necessary for the covalent cross-linking of tropocollagen molecules during the maturation of mature collagen. BAPN demonstrated in antimetastatic and antimyelofibrotic activity in vivo due to inhibition of LOX.

TILIDINE is a low to medium potency opioid analgesic. It is metabolized to its active metabolites, nortilidine and bisnortilidine. Its analgesic activity is largely exerted through nortilidine which is a potent agonist at Mu opioid receptors.

Cotinine is a product formed after the chemical nicotine enters the body. Measuring cotinine in people’s blood is the most reliable way to determine exposure to nicotine for both smokers and nonsmokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. Cotinine is safe, non-addictive and has pharmacokinetic properties adequate for therapeutic use. Research has shown that cotinine has antipsychotic, anxiolytic, and antidepressant properties and modulates the serotonergic, cholinergic and dopaminergic systems. Cotinine behaves as a positive allosteric modulator of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and has anti-inflammatory effects. Cotinine is under investigation as an agent for the treatment of depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
