Ethybenzatropine (Ponalid) is an anticholinergic and antihistaminergic drug. It was used as an antiparkinsonian agent. A significant increase in the duration of action of levodopa-induced improvement in parkinsonian symptoms was observed following the administration of ethybenzatropine. Ethybenzatropine also improved, or tended to improve the duration and seventy of onset and end-of-dose levodopa-induced dyskinesias. Thus when levodopa is administered together with etybenzatropine, its length of action on parkinsonian symptoms is prolonged.

Cyamemazine (Tercian), also known as cyamepromazine, is a typical antipsychotic drug of the phenothiazine class used primarily in the treatment of schizophrenia and psychosis-associated anxiety. Cyamemazine actually behaves like an atypical antipsychotic, due to its potent anxiolytic effects and lack of extrapyramidal side effects. Cyamemazine is used for the treatment of chronic psychotic states, anxiety, major depression.

Conditions:
Dextromoramide is a synthetic strong-acting opioid and full mu-opioid receptor agonist. Dextromoramide is a Schedule I drug illegal to possess. The current indication for Palfium® (dextromoramide) is severe acute or chronic pain requiring opioids, such as post-operative pain, and pain associated with bone fractures, malignancies and acute renal/biliary colic attacks in adults.

Doxefazepam (marketed under brand name Doxans) is a benzodiazepine derivative with putative hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. The potency of action was estimated to be equivalent to diazepam in animal models, and in man, the compound proved to be CNS active in a placebo-controlled study, in which systematic modifications of the background EEG signal were detected after acute administration to awake volunteers. Doxefazepam (10 mg) reduced the number of intermediate awakenings and the shifts between distinct sleep phases; single 20- or 40-mg doses or a 2-week administration of 10 mg doxefazepam increased significantly the total sleep duration and the percent duration of phase 2 and the synchronized sleep and decreased the percent duration of phase 1 and of the intermediate awakenings.

CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)
Conditions:
Flupirtine is a triaminopyridine derivative having a chemical structure - 2-amino-3-ethoxy-carbonylamino-6-4-fluoro-benzylamino-pyridine. The basic molecule used for synthesis of flupirtine was 2, 6-dichoro 3-nitropyridine. It was first synthesized in 1980s in Germany and was marketed by Degussa Pharma. Flupirtine is a centrally acting, non-opioid analgesic that is available in a number of European countries for the treatment of a variety of pain states. The therapeutic benefits seen with flupirtine relate to its unique pharmacological properties. Flupirtine displays indirect NDMA receptor antagonism via activation of potassium channels and is the first representative of a pharmacological class denoted the 'selective neuronal potassium channel openers'. The generation of the M-current is facilitated by flupirtine via the opening of neuronal Kv7 potassium channels. The opening of these channels inhibits exaggerated neuronal action potential generation and controls neuronal excitability. Neuronal hyperexcitability is a physiological component of many pain states such as chronic pain, migraine and neurogenic pain.

Levosulpiride [RV 12309, L-sulpiride, levosulpride, Dislep® 25, Levopride®, Levopraid®] is a potent dopamine D2 receptor blocker that was originated by Ravizza Farmaceutici (now AbbVie). Levosulpiride is the levo enantiomer of sulpiride. The levo enantiomer shows better/similar pharmacological actions and lower incidence of toxic effects than both dextro as well as the racemic forms of the drug. Levosulpiride is marketed in Italy and South Korea, and is possibly available elsewhere in Europe and Asia. Levosulpiride does not appear to be available in North America. Levosulpiride is available as 25mg tablets, drops and in ampoules for parenteral administration. Generic versions of levosulpiride also appear to be available in some countries. Levosulpiride is primarily indicated in conditions like Anxiety, Depression, Gastro-esophageal reflux disease, Irritable bowel syndrome, Schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, dyspeptic syndrome, essential cephalgia, and can also be given in adjunctive therapy as an alternative drug of choice in Peptic ulcer, Vertigo.

Dexetimide is a potent central and peripheral anticholinergic agent. It has a high affinity for all subtypes of muscarinic receptor and a long duration action. It forms very stable complex with mAChR. Dexetimide was used for many years in Europe for the treatment of extrapyramidal disorders. Neuroleptic-induced parkinsonian symptoms are effectively controlled by dexetimide. It is a safe, potent, and long-acting antiparkinsonian agent.

Ketobemidone (Cliradon, Ketogan, Ketodur, Cymidon) is a strong opioid analgesic, structurally related to pethidine, which has been in clinical use for more
than 50 years. In the Scandinavian countries ketobemidone is only available in combination with a spasmolytic
substance N,N-dimethyl-3,3-diphenyl-I-methylallylamine
(A29). Ketobemidone has been shown to be a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. In spite of a relatively low mu-receptor affinity ketobemidone has a higher analgesic potency than morphine by
systemic administration. It is probably due to its higher
lipophilicity and consequently more easy penetration into
the CNS. Ketobemidone is indicated for the treatment of all types of severe pain, such as postoperative, cancer, kidney stones and fractures.
