Amrubicin is a totally synthetic 9-aminoanthracycline anticancer drug, which is approved in Japan for the treatment of small cell and non-small cell lung cancer. Upon administration amrubicin is reduced to its C-13 hydroxy metabolite, amrubicinol. The cytotoxicity of amrubicinol in vitro is 10 to 100 times greater than that of amrubicin. Thus, the anticancer activity of amrubicin is considered to derive from this active metabolite. The mechanism of action of the drug is related to the inhibition of topoisomerase II by stabilizing the cleavable complex.

Conditions:

Imidapril (Tanatril), through its active metabolite imidaprilat, acts as an ACE inhibitor to suppress the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and thereby reduce total peripheral resistance and systemic blood pressure (BP). In clinical trials, oral imidapril was an effective antihypertensive agent in the treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension. Some evidence suggests that imidapril also improves exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and reduces urinary albumin excretion rate in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Imidapril was well tolerated, with a lower incidence of dry cough than enalapril or benazepril, and is a first choice ACE inhibitor for the treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension.
Etoperidone is an atypical antidepressant introduced in Europe in 1977. The activity of etoperidone is made mainly by its major metabolite 1-(3'-chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP). mCPP binds with different affinity to most of the serotonergic receptors and adrenergic receptors. This metabolite is an agonist of 5-HT2c and an antagonist of 5-HT2a. Part of etoperidone structure contributes to the activity in the α-adrenergic receptors. Etoperidone has been studied for the treatment of depression, tremors in Parkinson, extrapyramidal symptoms and male impotence. It is not certain if it was ever approved and marketed but its current status is withdrawn.

Erdosteine is an antioxidant compound developed by Edmond Pharma and approved in Europe for the treatment of chronic bronchitis and COPD. Erdosteine has two thiol groups and is believed to act as a free radicals scavenger (through the formation of the active metabolite I, N-thiodiglycolylhomocysteine). Also the drug effect may be due to the inhibition of the activity of elastase enzyme and its interaction with mucosa. The drug got Orphan Drug designation by FDA for the treatment of bronchiectasis.

Buflomedil (trade name Loftyl) is a vasoactive drug used to treat claudication or the symptoms of peripheral arterial disease. Buflomedil has been used for people with diseases of the leg arteries and has shown some benefits for people with a previous stroke. The most common type of stroke is due to narrowing or blockage of an artery in the brain (i.e. ischaemic stroke). Buflomedil is a drug that can dilate brain blood vessels, which may have benefit for people with ischaemic stroke. However, it has not been approved to treat stroke in clinical practice. In 2012 the European Medicines Agency has completed a review of the safety and effectiveness of buflomedil-containing medicines, both oral and injectable, due to severe neurological and cardiac side effects seen with buflomedil. The Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) concluded that the benefits of buflomedil do not outweigh its risks, and has recommended that all marketing authorisations for medicines containing buflomedil should be suspended throughout the European Union (EU).

Belotecan is a semisynthetic analogue of camptothecin containing a 2-(N-isopropylamino) ethyl group linkage at position C-7 of the camptothecin ring. It stabilizes the complex formed between topoisomerase I and DNA, thereby preventing the religation of DNA breaks. This leads to an inhibition of DNA replication and triggers apoptotic cell death. Belotecan was approved in Korea under the name Camtobell for the treatment of patients with ovarian and small cell lung cancers.

Exatecan (DX-8951f), a new hexacyclic camptothecin analogue, is a second-generation topoisomerase inhibitor that prevents rapidly dividing cells from replicating by interrupting DNA transcription, ultimately leading to cell death. Preclinical studies showed exatecan to have broad-spectrum antitumor efficacy. Exatecan is in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of pancreas cancer. However, there is no recent report of this research. The compound was co-developed by Daiichi Pharmaceutical (now Daiichi Sankyo) and Yakult Honsha.

Propamidine, an aromatic diamidine compound, is widely used as an antimicrobial agent. Propamidine isethionate, the salt of propamidine with isethionic acid, is used in the treatment of Acanthamoeba infection. Diseases caused by Acanthamoeba include keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis.

Conditions:

Bamidipine is an antihypertensive drug belonging to the dihydropyridine (DHP) group of calcium antagonists. The product was originally developed by Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical (Tokyo, Japan) and is currently marketed in Japan under the trade name of Hypoca (Astellas Pharma Inc, Tokyo, Japan). It is available in a modified-release formulation which has a gradual onset of action and is effective in a single daily oral dose of 10 to 20 mg. Bamidipine has selective action against cardiovascular calcium antagonist receptors and its antihypertensive action is related to the reduction of peripheral vascular resistance secondary to its vasodilatory action. The clinical antihypertensive efficacy of barnidipine is similar to that of other DHP calcium antagonists such as nitrendipine and amlodipine, and antihypertensives belonging to other drug classes such as atenolol and enalapril. Barnidipine has been found to be as efficacious and well tolerated as hydrochlorothiazide in the management of hypertension in elderly patients. Barnidipine is generally well tolerated. As with other DHP calcium antagonists, vasodilator adverse events such as headache, flushing and peripheral oedema account for most of the adverse events reported with its use and are usually transient. Oedema is less frequent than with amlodipine and nitrendipine. Its use is not associated with reflex tachycardia.

Oteracil is an adjunct to antineoplastic therapy, used in combination with Gimeracil and Tegafur. Gimeracil/oteracil/tegafur combination is approved for the gastric cancer treatment. Oteracil is an orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT) inhibitor that decreases the activity of 5-fluorocil (tegafur is a prodrug of 5-fluorocil) in normal gastrointestinal mucosa.
