ISOPROPICILLIN is semisynthetic penicillin.

Octicizer is used as a plasticizer.

Menarini was developing oral nepadutant (MEN 11420), a potent and selective tachykinin neurokinin-2 receptor antagonist, for the treatment of infant colic. Nepadutant has been used in trials studying the treatment of colic, infantile colic, and infantile functional gastrointestinal disorders. MEN 11420 is a glycosylated derivative of the potent, selective, conformationally-constrained tachykinin NK2 receptor antagonist MEN 10627. MEN 11420 competitively bound with high affinity to the human NK2 receptor stably transfected in CHO cells, displacing radiolabelled [125I]-neurokinin A and [3H]-SR 48968 with Ki values of 2.5+/-0.7 nM (n = 6) and 2.6+/-0.4 nM (n = 3), respectively.

Levomequitazine is the L-enantiomer of mequitazine. The antihistaminergic activity mainly resides in the S-enantiomer, L-mequitazine, whereas the anticholinergic activity mainly resides in the D-enantiomer. It was shown, that L-enantiomer of mequitazine is less potent antagonist of human M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors than D-enantiomer. In vitro binding studies have shown that the affinity of L-mequitazine for H1 receptors is approximately ten times higher and to muscarinic receptors ten times lower, compared to d-mequitazine. Memory impairment was observed after administration of L-mequitazine 10 mg alone on delayed recall. This could be due to indirect effects of H1 receptor blockade. L-mequitazine 10 mg produced mild driving impairment, whereas L-mequitazine 2.5 and 5.0 mg show no effects on driving. Levomequitazine had been in phase III clinical trials by Pierre Fabre for the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis and seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Ronacaleret (SB-751689-A) is a calcium-sensing receptor antagonist. This orally administered compound has been evaluated as a drug for treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. By antagonizing calcium-sensing receptors on the surface of the parathyroid gland, ronacaleret triggers a transient release of the body's own stores of parathyroid hormone. In patients with osteoporosis, this may increase volumetric bone mineral. In a phase II clinical trial, bone mineral density at the lumbar spine increased. Cardiac disorders (2.3% of patients) and gastrointestinal disorders (>60% of patients) were reported as adverse events. Phase I studies have also been conducted to evaluate the impact of ronacaleret on mobilization of Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and to measure changes in CD34+ cell counts.

Emopamil is a phenylalkylamine calcium antagonist. Emopamil has optically active stereoisomers. Emopamil enhanced the postischemic restoration of high-energy phosphate levels. The racemic mixture and the (-)-enantiomer of emopamil caused similar metabolic changes while (+)-enantiomer of emopamil proved to be ineffective. Emopamil is able to reverse multi-drug resistance in human KB cell lines. No differences in reversing potency were observed between emopamil (R)-isomers, (L)-isomers and the racemic form. There is a pharmacological relationship between sigma1-binding site and the mammalian sterol C8-C7 isomerase which is identical with the emopamil binding protein.

Nitroxinil is an anthelmintic drug mainly used for the control of liver fluke in sheep and cattle. Nitroxinil is active against the liver fluke the Fasciola hepatica and to a lesser extent against thread worms in the gastrointestinal tract. The efficacy of nitroxinil administered once by subcutaneous injection at a dosage regimen of 20 mg/kg live mass was evaluated against natural infestations of parafilaria bovicola in cattle. Trial animals were slaughtered 14 weeks after treatment. Treatment reduced the number of bleeding points by 97,8%, eosinophil-positive carcass lesions by 85,7% and eosinophil-positive lesion area by 92,8%, compared with controls.

Anazolene Sodium is a diagnostic die used for blood volume and cardiac output determination.

Lexacalcitol (KH1060) is over 100 times more active than 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and is of potential interest in the treatment of psoriasis and other diseases characterized by accelerated cell growth and T lymphocyte activation, which was studied in the clinical trial. KH1060 also prevents type I diabetes in the preclinical investigation without significant effects on calcium or bone metabolism. In addition also was shown that neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines were more susceptible to growth inhibition by KH1060, suggesting its possible use in NB to potentiate the action of retinoids, which are in clinical use for this disease. The underlying biochemical reasons for the increased biological activity of KH1060 are unknown, but it can include 1) metabolic considerations in addition to explanations based upon 2) enhanced stability of KH1060-liganded transcriptional complexes.

Lidanserin is a drug which acts as a combined 5-HT2A and α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist. In conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats intravenous injection of lidanserin caused dose-dependent blood pressure reductions. Lidanserin antagonises the excitatory effect of synaptically released 5-HT on central sympathoexcitatory neurons. Lidanserin is a potential antihypertensive compound which combines vasodilatatory effects due to selective alpha 1-receptor antagonistic action and platelet antiaggregatory, antivasospastic, and vasoprotective properties due to selective 5-HT2-receptor blockade.
