Sodium Antimonate is Sodium salt of antimonic acid. Sodium Antimonate is used in the Glass Industry as a fining agent or degasser, especially in colour television bulbs and optical glass. Sodium Antimonate is a fire retardant with very low tinting characteristics. As such it is used in plastics, paints, fibre glass resins and various textile goods.

Teclozan, an antiprotozoal agent, was used to treat the intestinal amebiasis. Teclozan prevents the formation of arachidonic acid in the parasite by intervening in the phospholipid metabolism.

Arterolane is an anti-malarial drug developed by Ranbaxy Laboratories. Arterolane belongs to peroxidic antimalarial compounds. Upon administration, the drug is activated by heme of hemoglobin digested by malarial parasite. Activation produces free radicals, leading to alkylation of heme and proteins, critical for the survival of the parasite. Arterolane was approved for marketing in India in 2012 and received marketing authorization in several African countries in 2014.

Broxyquinoline is an anti-infective agent. It exerts activity against fungi and protozoa. Broxyquinoline (Intestopan) has been used in the treatment of diarrhoeas of different aetiology. Broxyquinoline is able to promote neovascularization.
Acetarsone is a pentavalent arsenical compound with antiprotozoal and antihelmintic properties. It was first discovered in 1921 at Pasteur Institute by Ernest Fourneau, and sold under the brand name Stovarsol (fourneau is the French word for stove). Before stovarsol was used in the treatment of congenital syphilis, it had already been used in other diseases : amoebiasis, acquired syphilis, yaws, trypanosomiasis and malaria, and a formidable list of toxic manifestations can be compiled from the literature. Bender (I927) recorded six cases of poisoning with malaise, fever, cedema, jaundice, diarrhoea, albuminuria, bronchitis, coryza and skin troubles, such as diffuse erythema, dryness and pruritus. Of 232 cases of amoebiasis treated by Brown (I935) without a death, thirteen (5.6%) had toxic erythemata, some of them so severe as to amount to exfoliative dermatitis. Although its mechanism of action is not fully known, acetarsone may bind to protein-containing sulfhydryl groups located in the parasite, thereby forming lethal As-S bonds. This may prevent their functioning and eventually kill the parasite.

Pyronaridine was developed in China and has been registered in that country since the 1980s. Outside China, none of the existing formulations is registered because of the failure to meet international regulatory standards. Pyronaridine is generally active against chloroquine-resistant parasites. Pyronaridine has been investigated for the treatment of Malaria. Pyronaridine targets hematin. Combination of pyronaridine with artesunate was indicated for the blood-stage treatment of both strains of malaria:  P. falciparum and P. vivax.  WHO currently recommends artesunate-pyronaridine in areas where other artemisinin-based combination therapies are failing.

Oral dehydroemetine dihydrochloride (+/-) (Mebadin) was found useful both as a tissue and contact amoebicide. It is much less toxic and more active than emetine and can be given in larger doses and for longer periods with safety. Owing to the quick excretion, repeat courses can be given at short intervals, as necessary, without danger. No serious side effects were noted particularly with the oral form and it was far better tolerated by children, who received relatively higher dosage than most adults. The only contra-indication is for patients with manifest decompensation of vital organs, or fevers. Mebadin injection and Mebadin tablets are discontinued products.
Nimorazole is an antimicrobial with activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. Its actions and properties are similar to metronidazole. It has also been used in trials studying the treatment of Hypoxia, Radiotherapy, Hypoxic Modification, Gene Profile, Gene Signature, and Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, among others. Azanta is developing, nimorazole, as an oral hypoxic radio-sensitiser for the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer who are undergoing radiotherapy. Previously, nimorazole has been approved for use as an anti-protozoal agent and has been launched worldwide. Nimorazole, for the treatment of head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy received orphan designation by EMA in 2011.

Etofamide is a luminal amoebicide acting principally on the bowel lumen with actions and uses similar to diloxanide furoate. Adverse drug reactions might include flatulence, vomiting, urticaria, pruritis. 100 patients suffering chronic intestinal amebiasis were treated with Etofamide, in a dose of 1,0 g per day, for three consecutive days. The tolerance of this antiamebic drug was excellent in all patients, and the parasitological cure rate obtained was 92%.
