Telapristone is an orally available 21-substituted-19-nor-progestin and selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM), with potential anti-progesterone and antineoplastic activities. Its acetate form, the telapristone Acetate is a clinically used and a studied drug.

FERTIRELIN is an analog of luteinizing hormone releasing factor. The drug has been used since 1981 in Japan to treat various types of reproductive failure in cattle.

Dirucotide (MBP 8298) is a synthetic myelin basic protein (MBP) peptide designed to decrease type 2 helper T cells (TH2)-mediated B-cell signalling of auto-reactive T-cells thereby reducing the production of specific antibodies that target endogenous MBP. MBP is the dominant site of attack in patients with multiple sclerosis and haplotype (HLA) DR2 or DR4. Dirucotide did not meet the primary endpoint of delaying disease progression, as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), during the two-year MAESTRO-01 Phase III trial in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). In addition, there were no statistically significant differences between dirucotide and placebo on the secondary endpoints of the study. After disappointing trial results, development of the drug was ended in 2009.

Clomegestone (clomagestone) is an investigational steroidal progestogen. Clomegestone exhibits anti-estrogenic activity in estrone stimulated immature mice when administered orally at 100 ug.

Sotrastaurin, an orally-active, first-in-class immunomodulator, is under development by Novartis for the treatment of uveal melanoma and diffuse-large B-cell lymphoma. Sotrastaurin is a low molecular mass synthetic compound that potently inhibits the PKC α, β and the θ isoforms resulting in selective NF-κB inactivation. Sotrastaurin is a potent and selective pan-PKC inhibitor, mostly for PKCθ with Ki of 0.22 nM in a cell-free assay. Inhibition of PKC beta in B-cells results in prevention of NF-kB-mediated signaling and down regulation of NF-kB target genes. This may eventually lead to an induction of G1 cell cycle arrest and tumor cell apoptosis in susceptible tumor cells. This agent may act synergistically with other chemotherapeutic agents. PKC, a family of serine/threonine protein kinases overexpressed in certain types of cancer cells, is involved in cell differentiation, mitogenesis, inflammation, and the activation and survival of lymphocytes. Sotrastaurin is currently in phase II trials by Novartis for the treatment of large B-cell lymphoma and uveal melanoma. Sotrastaurin was in Phase II of clinical development for the prevention of acute rejection after solid organ transplantation and psoriasis, but this reseach had being discontinued.

Edifolone (SC-35135) is a structurally unique class Ia antiarrhythmic agent. It acts as a sodium channel antagonist. Edifolone development has been discontinued.

LAPAQUISTAT is a squalene synthase inhibitor. It was shown to lower cholesterol levels in several animal models. It was investigated for the treatment of diabetes and hypercholesterolemia, however, its development was discontinued.

LAUROLINIUM, a quaternary ammonium compound, is a cationic antimicrobial agent. It has a broad spectrum of activity against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, fungi, and protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. It is suitable for use in the treatment of local infections, for the sterilization of skin areas and for general antiseptic purposes.

Davalintide (AC-2307) is a second-generation mimetic of a pancreatic peptide hormone amylin, developed by Amylin Pharmaceuticals. In preclinical models, davalintide possessed enhanced pharmacological properties and was able to reduce food intake. Safety, tolerability, and effect on body weight of subcutaneous davalintide were investigated in obese or overweight subjects. The results of the clinical trial were not reported, but Amylin decided to discontinue davalintide in 2010.
