Resorcinol is a benzenediol. Resorcinol is commonly used in hair dyes and acne medication. Resorcinol works by breaking down rough, scaly, or hardened skin. Resorcinol also disinfects the skin to help fight infection. Resorcinol topical (for the skin) is used to treat pain and itching caused by minor cuts and scrapes, burns, insect bites, poison ivy, sunburn, or other skin irritations. Resorcinol topical is also used to treat acne, eczema, psoriasis, seborrhea, corns, calluses, warts, and other skin disorders. Resorcinol is included in the FDA final rule list of all permitted active ingredients for OTC topical acne products. Permitted combination active ingredient product - Resorcinol in 2 percent concentration in combination with sulfur in concentrations of between 3 and 8 percent. In oxidative hair dyes, resorcinol is regulated to 5% or below in practice, however, many manufacturers limit the level of free resorcinol in oxidative hair dyes to 1.25%. Resorcinol is limited to 0.5% in shampoos and hair lotions. Resorcinol is usually present in anti-acne preparations at a maximum concentration of 2%. The concentration of resorcinol can be much higher in peels, in some cases around 50%. Jessner’s solution (resorcinol in ethyl alcohol, 14% w/v; lactic acid, 14%; and salicylic acid, 14%) is commonly used in chemical peeling. A specialized medical use of resorcinol is in biological glues (gelatin–resorcinol–formaldehyde glue) for cardiovascular surgery, in particular aortic operations.

Edatrexate (10-ethyl-10-deazaaminopterin or 10-EDAM) is an analog of methotrexate with improved pre-clinical antitumor activity, more selective cellular uptake, and with the more extensive formation of intracellular polyglutamate metabolites. This drug is a new dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, which was studied in phase II clinical trial for the patients with different cancers. The studies were discontinued, for example, in advanced renal cell carcinoma edatrexate in the investigated dose and schedule had minimal activity and was toxic. In case of non-small-cell lung cancer, the dosing schedule of edatrexate did not appear to be improved compared to other chemotherapeutic regimens. In addition, edatrexate was involved in the experiment for the treatemnt of rheumatoid arthritis, but this study was also discontinued.

LY2606368 (Prexasertib) is a small-molecule Chk-1 inhibitors invented by Array and being developed by Eli Lilly and Company. Lilly is responsible for all clinical development and commercialization activities. LY2606368 is advancing in Phase 2 clinical trials for cancer. Prexasertib preferentially binds to and inhibits CHK1 and, to a lesser extent, inhibits CHK2. Chk-1 is a protein kinase that regulates the tumor cell's response to DNA damage often caused by treatment with chemotherapy. In response to DNA damage, Chk-1 blocks cell cycle progression in order to allow for repair of damaged DNA, thereby limiting the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents. Inhibiting Chk-1 in combination with chemotherapy can enhance tumor cell death by preventing these cells from recovering from DNA damage.

Myfadol is a phenacylpiperidine derivative patented by Tanabe Seiyaku Co., Ltd as low molecular weight non-peptide analgesic. Myfadol produces hot-plate analgesia in rodents with minimal side-effects, and when given parenterally in humans produces analgesia to experimentally-produced and postoperative pain.

Butobendine is trihydroxybenzoic acid derivative with marked antiarrhythmic activities in rats and cats.
