Malethamer is the generic name of a new synthetic hydrocarbon copolymer with extraordinary water-binding properties, being able to absorb 200 times its weight of water. It is physically and chemically binds poliovirus 1 and certain bacterial enterotoxins. Ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymers and their derivatives have come to be considered for a number of applications generally involving the formation of insoluble complexes with proteins and viruses. The copolymer is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is pharmacologically inert. Malethamer, because of its water absorbing quality, is an effective compound for the symptomatic control of diarrhea, both organic and functional.

Sepantronium bromide (YM155) is a selective survivin suppressant that exhibits potent antitumor activities by inducing apoptosis and autophagy in various types of cancer. Sepantronium bromide inhibited the growth of various human cancer cell lines in vitro with GI50 values in the low nM range. Sepantronium bromide blocked the growth of 119 human cancer cell lines, with the greatest inhibition in lines derived from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, hormone-refractory prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, sarcoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, breast cancer, leukemia, and melanoma, with an average GI50 of 15 nM. Sepantronium bromide inhibited the growth of tumor cell lines regardless of their p53 status and demonstrated significant antitumor activity in 5 mice xenograft models. It also caused tumor regressions in vivo, possibly by its effects in reducing intratumoral survivin expression levels and increasing apoptosis. Sepantronium Bromide had been in phase II clinical trials by Astellas for the treatment of prostate cancer, melanoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, breast cancer, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other solid tumors. This compound had also been in clinical trials by National Cancer Institute (NCI) for the treatment of solid tumors (phase I) and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (phase II). However, all these researches about this compound for all indications were discontinued.

CHF-5074 is a small molecule with a unique microglial modulating mechanism of action capable of selectively reducing pro-inflammatory activities of microglial cells while increasing their ability to remove neurotoxic amyloid beta (“Aβ”) aggregates in the brain by phagocytosis. CHF-5074 reduces Aβ42 and Aβ40 secretion, with an IC50 of 3.6 and 18.4 μM, respectively. Microglia are small cells that migrate through the brain to remove waste products, such as amyloid aggregates that cause inflammation and irreversible damage to nerve cells. Chronic dysfunction of microglia is increasingly believed to play an important role at the very beginnings of Alzheimer’s disease. The results from Chiesi’s human clinical studies corroborate the large body of data from published preclinical studies. In Alzheimer’s disease transgenic mouse models, CHF-5074 was shown to reduce neuroinflammation, inhibit brain amyloid β plaque deposits, reduce tau pathology, and reverse associated memory deficits. These findings indicate CHF-5074 acts simultaneously on several important therapeutic targets, and this neuroprotective multi-target approach may translate into preventing the memory loss that is the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.

Pivanex, also known as AN-9, is a histone deacetylase inhibitor analog of butyric acid that causes apoptosis of cancer cells through signaling cellular differentiation. AN-9 exhibited antimetastatic and antiangiogenic activities by reducing vascularization, bFGF expression, and HIF-1a. An important property of the AN-9 as anticancer agents is its ability to inhibit the growth of multidrug-resistant cancer cells including MCF- 7 Dx, HL-60Mx, and MES-SA-DX and to interact in synergy with doxorubicin in killing cancer cells. Combination of AN-9 and radiation significantly increased mortality of glioma cell lines and, in vivo, inhibited tumor growth and prolonged time to failure in mice bearing glioma xenografts, demonstrating their radiosensitizing function. In clinical trials. Pivanex is well tolerated in patients with advanced NSCLC and is indicative of anti-cancer activity.

Belnacasan (VX-765), and its active metabolite VRT- 043198, is a novel and irreversible IL-converting enzyme/ caspase-1 inhibitor. VRT-043198 exhibits 100- to 10,000-fold selectivity against other caspase-3, -6 and -9. It exhibited potent inhibition against ICE/caspase-1 and caspase-4 with Ki of 0.8 nM and less than 0.6 nM, respectively. And VRT-043198 also inhibits IL-1β release from both PBMCs and whole blood with IC50 of 0.67 uM and 1.9 uM, respectively. Belnacasan inhibits the release of IL-1, IL-18 and IL-33. Belnacasan has shown to inhibit acute partial seizures in preclinical models and has shown activity in preclinical models of chronic partial epilepsy that do not respond to currently available compounds for epilepsy. In addition, it seems to reduce disease severity and the expression of inflammatory mediators in models of rheumatoid arthritis and skin inflammation. Belnacasan had been in phase II clinical trials by Vertex for the treatment of epilepsy. However, this study has been terminated later.

Endoxifen, also known as N-desmethyl-4-hydroxytamoxifen, is active metabolites of tamoxifen. This metabolite exhibits a 100-fold higher binding affinity to the estrogen receptor (ER) and are more effective in suppressing cell proliferation than tamoxifen. In humans, the conversion from tamoxifen to endoxifen is predominant. Endoxifenis is an orally active, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that was developed for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. In addition, this drug possesses antimanic properties, what can be used in the treatment of patients with bipolar I disorder (BPD I).

LY2886721 is a BACE inhibitor used for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease. LY2886721 did not inhibit other aspartyl proteases such as cathepsin D, pepsin, and renin, and reduced Aβ in a dose-dependent manner in HEK293Swe cells and in primary neurons from PDAPP transgenic mice. LY2886721 was the first BACE inhibitor to reach Phase 2 clinical research. Lilly completed six Phase 1 studies of LY2886721’s safety, tolerability, and pharmacology in a total of 150 healthy volunteers and people with Alzheimer’s disease at doses of 1–70 mg. Single and multiple ascending oral dosing was accompanied by repeat CSF sampling in the hours and days thereafter. This was done to assess CSF penetration and target engagement by way of measuring levels of the drug, BACE1 substrate, and BACE1 cleavage products. The compound lowered CSF Aβ40, Aβ42, and sAPPβ concentrations while increasing sAPPα, consistent with expectations for BACE1 inhibition. Fourteen days of daily dosing reduced BACE1 activity by 50–75 percent, and CSF Aβ42 by 72 percent. No safety concerns were apparent in dosing up to six weeks

Scyllo-inositol (ELND005) is an inositol isoform. Inositol is a derivative of cyclohexane with six hydroxyl groups, making it a polyol. It also is known as a sugar alcohol, having exactly the same molecular formula as glucose or other hexoses. Scyllo-inositol (ELND005) is a naturally occurring plant sugar alcohol found most abundantly in the coconut palm. It appears to accumulate in a number of human tissues and biofluids through dietary consumption. It has traditionally been considered to be a B vitamin although it has an uncertain status as a vitamin and a deficiency syndrome has not been identified in man. Although scyllo-inositol (ELND005) at pharmacologic doses may alter myo-inositol levels and indirectly affect phosphatidyl-inositol signaling, its main effects are thought to be binding and inhibition of beta-amyloid 42 peptide aggregation and formation of beta-amyloid fibrils. In transgenic animals, scyllo-inositol (ELND005) reduced brain beta-amyloid concentrations and plaque burden, preserved synaptic density, and improved learning deficits. Scyllo-inositol (ELND005) also appears to neutralize toxic effects of beta-amyloid oligomers, including amelioration of oligomer-induced synaptic loss, long-term potentiation inhibition, and memory deficits. Scyllo-inositol (ELND005) is an attractive candidate as a potential disease-modifying oral treatment for Alzheimer disease.
