Epervudine (5-isopropyl-2'-deoxyuridine) is an antiviral compound. The antiviral effect of epervudine on herpes viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) is based on the sensitivity of virus DNA to nucleases due to epervudine incorporation into the virus DNA and the resulting change in DNA conformation. Virus selectivity is based on virus induced thymidine kinase activity and on HSV induction of polymerase enzymes catalyzing the incorporation. Epervudine (HEVIZOS) ointment is used to treat herpetic skin infections.

Rimoprogin (VUFB-9244) is an antimycotic (antifungal) compound that was first reported in the literature in the 1970’s. It has been mentioned as a possible active agent in a plaster against dysfunctional nail growth, but there is no information on current development of rimoprogin for clinical use.

Miloxacin, an antibacterial agent that was used in veterinary. This drug was also studied for the treatment of acute intestinitis. Experiments in vitro have shown that this compound exhibited significant activities against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, and less active against a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection and inactive at the maximum test doses against a Streptococcus pyogenes infection. Information about the current use of miloxacin is not available.

Diphenan is p-benzyl-phenyl-carbamate. Various workers have reported that diphenan will rid children of oxyurids and it has been claimed to be nontoxic and tasteless and to have the advantage of being a vermicide as opposed to a vermifuge. An attempt has been made to assess the efficacy of diphenan as a vermicide. Diphenan was given far in excess of the normal dosage. Subsequent examnation showed few cures and these mostly in lightly infested children. The condition of many was unchanged and that of some worse after treatment. No toxic reactions were encountered. Moreover, diphenan was found to have no detectable anthelmintic effect when given in high dosage in the treatment of enterobiasis.

Ditolamide is uricosuric drugs developed for the control of hyperuricemia in patients with gout.

Crufomate is an insecticide and antihelmintic drug which acts by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. Crufomate was used on or in cattle, sheep, and goats to control internal cattle grubs and external horn flies and cattle lice. Crufomate is administered by injection, oral administration, and spraying. For the treatment of internal helminth parasites, crufomate is administered by the oral drench directly into the rumen.

Rifamexil (also known as MDL 62769 or P/DEA) is a derivative of rifamycin (a natural antibiotic produced by Amycolatopsis rifamycinica). This drug has greater intrinsic activity against Myobacterium avium (MAC) than rifampin. Information on current use of this compound is not available.

Salantel was used in veterinary as an anthelmintic agent. Information about the current use of this compound is not available.
