Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)



Elinafide (LU 79553) is a bisintercalating naphthalamide and a topoisomerase II inhibitor has demonstrated a higher binding affinity for DNA and significant antitumour efficacy against a panel of established tumour cell lines, including several multidrug resistant-positive sublines. Elinafide had been in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of ovarian cancer and phase I trials for the treatment of various solid tumours. The major haematological toxicities observed were anaemia and neutropenia. The major non-haematological toxicities observed in the 3-weekly schedule were neuro-muscular presenting clinically as a mixed syndrome of severe weakness (sometimes with pain in both legs), myalgia and arthralgia, asthenia/fatigue/malaise. One fatality was considered related to LU 79553, as the patient had fever and neutropenia. Clinical study of this drug candidate was discontinued due to its neuromuscular dose-limiting toxicity.

Liarozole is an imidazole-containing compound that inhibits the cytochrome P-450-dependent metabolism of all-trans-retinoic acid (RA). Liarozole, a retinoic acid (RA) metabolism-blocking agent (RAMBA) in clinical development, has been granted orphan drug designation for congenital ichthyosis by the European Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Later, based on the mixed results from a phase II/III trial of liarozole for the treatment of ichthyosis, Barrier decided to discontinue the development of liarozole. Liarozole displays antitumor activity against androgen-dependent and independent rat prostate carcinomas.A large phase III international study was completed comparing liarozole 300 mg twice daily with cyproterone acetate (CPA) 100 mg twice daily in a total of 321 patients with metastatic prostate cancer in relapse after first-line endocrine therapy. The results indicate that liarozole might be a possible treatment option for prostate cancer (PCA) following failure of first-line endocrine therapy.

CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)



Methoxyamine (TRC102) is an orally bioavailable small molecule with potential adjuvant activity, that may potentiate the antitumor activity of alkylating agents. Methoxyamine covalently binds to apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) DNA damage sites and inhibits base excision repair (BER) that causes topoisomerase II-dependent irreversible strand breaks and apoptosis. Methoxyamine is currently being studied in multiple Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute or Case Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Alvameline is a partial agonist of the M1 mAChR that also displays M2/M3 antagonist effects. It readily crosses the blood-brain barrier. It has an effect profile that makes it of interest to test its ability to counteract bladder overactivity in humans. Behaviorally, alvameline has been shown to significantly improve Morris water maze (MWM) performance in both young and ageimpaired rats. It failed to improve cognition in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

INN:delucemine [INN]

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)

Early explorations of spider and scorpion venoms provided clues for the discovery of new classes of compounds, including delucemine, that act as neuroprotectants in animal models of stroke. This compound targets open NMDA receptor-operated calcium channels and blocks the channel. By blocking these channels, which open in response to the neurotransmitter glutamate, delucemine prevents excessive calcium influx during ischemia. This stabilizes cell chemistry and minimizes cell death. Delucemine attenuated short-term cognitive deficits and histopathological changes associated with traumatic brain injury. Delucemine improved measures of brain tissue edema and ion homeostasis.

LADOSTIGIL, a rasagiline derivative, is a reversible acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor with neuroprotective properties. It also acts as an irreversible brain monoamine oxidases inhibitor. It is under development for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders like dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)


Mazapertine (RWJ-37796) is an arylpiperazine antipsychotic with high affinity to dopamine D2 and D3, serotonin 5-HT1A and alpha 1A-adrenergic receptors. It was being studied in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Retaspimycin (IPI-504) was previously under development by manufacturer Infinity Pharmaceuticals in conjunction with MedImmune, a part of AstraZeneca. Retaspimycin is a small-molecule inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) with antiproliferative and antineoplastic activities. Retaspimycin binds to and inhibits the cytosolic chaperone functions of HSP90, which maintains the stability and functional shape of many oncogenic signaling proteins and may be overexpressed or overactive in tumor cells. Retaspimycin-mediated inhibition of HSP90 promotes the proteasomal degradation of oncogenic signaling proteins in susceptible tumor cell populations, which may result in the induction of apoptosis. Orphan drug designation was assigned to the compound by the FDA for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal cancer (GIST). Infinity Pharmaceuticals has discontinued the development of retaspimycin (IPI-504) an inhibitor of the HSP-90) complex, for the treatment of cancer due to lack of efficacy in 1913.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)

Targets:


Cevipabulin is a synthetic, water-soluble tubulin-binding agent with potential antineoplastic activity. Cevipabulin appears to bind at the vinca-binding site on tubulin but seems to act more similar to taxane-site binding agents in that it enhances tubulin polymerization and does not induce tubulin depolymerization. The disruption in microtubule dynamics may eventually inhibit cell division and reduce cellular growth.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)

Etorphine was the first potent opiate agonist employed primarily for use in non-domestic and wild species. Etorphine was 500 times as potent as morphine, with a very rapid onset and short duration of action. In morphine-dependent subjects, etorphine suppressed abstinence but for a shorter period than morphine. Etorphine is a full opiate agonist and binds to multiple opiate sites in the central nervous system. It is believed to produce its clinical effects through binding the µ-, δ-, and κ- opiate sites. It has a potent effect on depressing the respiratory centers of the CNS thus resulting in apnea being commonly seen in immobilized animals. Etorphine revolutionized the ability of biologists and veterinarians to safely capture and restrain many species that previously could not be handled. Etorphine is not currently commercially available due to lack of production by the manufacturer.
