Esculamine is a hemostatic, vasodilator and anti-inflammatory agent.

Tarenflurbil (Flurizan or R-flurbiprofen) is the single enantiomer of the racemate NSAID flurbiprofen. Tarenflurbil is a first in class, selective amyloid-beta42 (A42) lowering agent (SALA), which acts by modulating the activity of gamma-secretase, an enzyme that converts amyloid precursor protein to amyloid-beta. The reduction of A42 may prevent the development of the amyloid plaques thought to be a key pathological process associated with Alzheimer’s disease. For several years, research and trials for the drug were conducted by Myriad Genetics, to investigate its potential as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. In a brief statement issued June 30, Myriad Genetics reports that tarenflurbil (Flurizan) failed to have a significant effect in a phase 3 trial of patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD). The failure of Flurizan™ is generally attributed to its insufficient pharmacodynamics, i.e., inadequate ability to penetrate the brain and engage its target protein at doses sufficient to yield an effect. Two additional Phase 3 trials were terminated and further development of Flurizan™ was discontinued. Separate clinical development of Flurizan™ for prostate cancer has also been discontinued following negative Phase 2 results. Tarenflurbil activates c-Jun N terminal kinase, increases AP-1 binding to DNA, and downregulates cyclin D1 expression, resulting in the arrest of tumour cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and apoptosis. This agent also affects the expression of nuclear factor kappa B, a rapid response transcription factor that stimulates the immune response to tumour cells. Tarenflurbil does not inhibit the enzyme cyclooxygenase. The Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology is currently developing tarenflurbil for the treatment of relapsing, remitting multiple sclerosis.

Neflumozide is an antipsychotic.

Ethoxazene (2,4-diamino-4-ethoxyazobenzene) is an analgesic compound. It may be used as an indicator of acidity in an examination of gastric function.

Tiflucarbine is a thieno[3,2-e]indole derivative patented by Troponwerke G.m.b.H. und Co. K.-G. as antidepressant. Tiflucarbine acts as a potent inhibitor of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake and has no effect on 5-HT2 postsynaptic receptors. In preclinical models, Tiflucarbine down-regulates the noradrenaline responses of the cAMP system in rats cerebral cortex. Tiflucarbine treatment increased the specific activity of soluble calmodulin (CaM)-dependent phosphodiesterase in rat brain. Tiflucarbine bound to CaM and inhibited its interaction with the phosphodiesterase. Adrenergic denervation by 6-hydroxydopamine injection prevented both the beta-adrenoceptor down-regulation and the increase in the specific activity of the phosphodiesterase. Tiflucarbine exerted no effect on the reserpine hypothermia, attenuated the apomorphine hypothermia and enhanced the TRH-induced hyperthermia. It did not prevent tryptamine convulsions or the fenfluramine-induced hyperthermia and inhibited the L-5-hydroxytryptophan-induced head twitches. Tiflucarbine administered repeatedly enhanced the D-amphetamine-induced locomotor hyperactivity and inhibited the clonidine-induced aggressiveness.

THIALBARBITAL is a barbiturate derivative with sedative effects. Barbiturates have hypnotic properties and are used as active moiety on central nervous system. Thialbarbital was synthesized in the 1960s. It was used primarily as a surgical anesthesia. Thialbarbital causes marked depression of the activity of the reticular formation and only slight depression of cortical activity. Thialbarbital is short acting and has less of a tendency to induce respiratory depression than other barbiturate derivatives such as pentobarbital.

Nonapyrimine is an anticonvulsant, vasodilator.

Nonabine is a chromenol structurally related to the cannabinoids which has shown antiemetic efficacy in clinical trials. Nonabine also produced sedative clinical effects, but with an EEG profile which resembled that reportedly caused by cannabinoids. In contrast to cannabinoids, nonabine did not cause changes of mood or perception, suggesting that nonabine lacks the potential for social abuse at antiemetic doses. Nonabine was studied in the 1980s for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy.

IPROZILAMINE, a member of 4-piperazinopyrimidines, has powerful antiemetic activity. It also exhibits a relaxant effect on smooth muscle fiber.

Indorenate (TR3369, INDO) is a serotonin-like compound with high affinity for 5- HT1A receptors and a lower affinity for 5-HT1C and 5-HT1B receptors. Indorenate possesses antihypertensive and anxiolytic activity in animal behaviour tests. Similar to other serotonin receptor agonists, Indorenate also has anorectic activity; this effect was blocked by the administration of the 5-HT2A/2C receptor antagonists cinanserin, cyproheptadine, metergoline and methysergide. A unpublished clinical trial confirmed its antihypertensive activity in men.
