Vinburnine is a nutritional product, a peripheral vasodilator with cerebral activities that also act as a cerebral metabolic stimulant and appears to be able to relax the smooth muscle cells within the walls of blood vessels. (+/-)-Eburnamonine is the racemate of the alkaloid Vinburnine. Dextrorotatory, levorotatory, and racemic forms of eburnamonine exist in nature. The (-)-form, also known as vincamone (isolated from Vinca minor), is a drug that possesses a stimulating activity for muscle and is used as cerebrotonic, whereas both enantiomers have hypotensive effects.

Tiracizine a drug belongs to the new class I antiarrhythmic agent was studied in patients with ischemic heart disease, where was shown, that the drug could decrease myocardial contractile function.

Suloctidil is considered to be calcium antagonist. In addition to its vascular antispasmodic activity, suloctidil affects blood platelets and enhances brain energy metabolism. Suloctidil was being evaluated in many clinical trials for use in dementia and thrombotic disorders. Suloctidil induces hepatotoxicity.

Zofenopril is an inhibitor of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE), which is approved in Europe for the treatment of hypertension and acute myocardial infarction.

Cilazapril (Vascace and Dynorm are brand names in a number of European countries) is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE; kininase II) inhibitor. It competes with angiotensin I for binding at the angiotensin-converting enzyme, blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Cilazapril is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed after absorption to its main metabolite cilazaprilat. The half-life (30–50 hours) of cilazapril allows for once daily dosing unless the hypertension is severe. Cilazapril is used for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, post-myocardial infarction, and some other indications. Adverse events were mostly observed within the first 8-16 weeks of treatment, with headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, cough and chest pain being the most frequent.

Indoramin is an alpha-1 selective antagonist of adrenergic receptor, sold under trade names Baratol and Doralese, and now available as a generic. It has no reflex tachycardia and direct myocardial depression action and is used to treat benign prostate hyperplasia (as 20 mg tablets) or reduce blood pressure (as 25 mg strength tablets). It was also investigated as a treatment of a migraine and congestive heart failure.

Ethamsylate (2,5-dihydroxy-benzene-sulfonate diethylammonium salt) is a synthetic hemostatic drug indicated in cases of capillary bleeding. Ethamsylate acts on the first step of hemostasis by improving platelet adhesiveness and restoring capillary resistance. In addition it inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis. Well-controlled clinical trials clearly showed the therapeutic efficacy of ethamsylate in dysfunctional uterine bleeding, with the magnitude of blood-loss reduction being directly proportional to the severity of the menorrhagia. Other well-controlled clinical trials showed therapeutic efficacy of ethamsylate in periventricular hemorrhage in very low birth weight babies and surgical or postsurgical capillary bleeding.

Etofylline [7-(2-hydroxyethyl)theophylline] is a N-7-substituted derivative of theophylline, a smooth muscle relaxant. Etofylline is used to relieve bronchoconstriction. It may act as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor and adenosine receptor antagonist.

Xanthinol (xanthinol nicotinate) is a xanthine derivative, peripheral vasodilator agent. It exerts it`s pharmacological action by acting as a vasodilator and improves blood flow to brain, arteries, and to the periphery. It increases brain glucose metabolism and thus improves brain ATP levels. It stimulates memory and concentration elevates brain energy levels. Indications for Xanthinol Nicotinate: 1. Peripheral vascular sclerosis 2. Cerebral circulatory disorders 3. Arteriosclerosis 4. Endarteritis obliterans 5. Short term memory disorders 6. Mental flagging 7. Anti ageing memory support 8. Diabetic angiopathy 9. Diabetic gangrene 10. Hyperlipidaemia 11. Intermittent claudication Side Effects of Xanthinol Nicotinate: 1. Flushing 2. Feeling of warmth 3. Nausea 4. Heart burn 5. Vomiting 6. Itching of skin For 30 years, Xanthinol nicotinate has been on the market for the treatment of impaired brain function, i.e., organic brain syndromes of various etiologies. Controlled double-blind phase-III clinical trials have shown that xantinol nicotinate is also an effective drug in the treatment of dementia. Xanthinol nicotinate is also helpful in the management of leg ulcers associated with haemoglobinopathies. Xanthinol was approved as a drug in 1998 in Canada and nowadays its status is cancelled post marketing. The positively charged xanthinol ion is thought to help the transportation of the nicotinic acid into the cell since the later cannot freely diffuse through the cell membrane. The mechanism of action is thought to be related to present influence in the cell metabolism through the nucleotides NAD and NADP. Also, the nicotinic acid is a coenzyme for a lot of proteins involved in tissue respiration (Embden-Meyerhof and citrate cycle). The effect of xanthinol nicotinate causes an increase in glucose metabolism and energy gain.

Potassium canrenoate (INN, JAN) or canrenoate potassium (USAN) (brand names Venactone, Soldactone), the potassium salt of canrenoic acid, is an aldosterone antagonist of the spirolactone group. Like spironolactone, it is a prodrug, which is metabolized to canrenone in the body. Potassium canrenoate is not licensed in the UK, but may sometimes be prescribed off-licence to treat oedema. It is given intravenously. Potassium canrenoate is a mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist. The blockade with MR antagonist have beneficial effects in patients with heart failure and myocardial infarction, often attributed to blocking aldosterone action in the myocardium.
