Methadyl Acetate is a narcotic analgesic with a long onset and duration of action. Methadyl Acetate is primarily a mu-type opioid receptor agonist and the drug decreases a patient's opioid use by preventing opioid withdrawal. Levacetylmethadol, the enantiomer of Methadyl Acetate, was approved in 1993 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the treatment of opioid dependence. In 2001, levacetylmethadol was removed from the U.S. market due to reports of life-threatening ventricular rhythm disorders.

Santenol is available for oral (50 mg tablets1 and intramuscular (60 mg vials containing also lidocainel use. Animal studies have shown an analgesic effect and changes in EEG activity and O2 consumption of the nervous tissue. Lefetamine may be an opioid partial agonist.

Ethyl loflazepate (Lof) has been used widely as a sedative and anxiolytic agent for nearly 20 years. Ethyl loflazepate was designed to be a prodrug for descarboxyloflazepate, its active metabolite. It is the active metabolite which is responsible for most of the pharmacological effects rather than ethyl loflazepate. The main metabolites of ethyl loflazepate are descarbethoxyloflazepate, loflazepate and 3-ydroxydescarbethoxyloflazepate which are the benzodiazepine receptor agonists. Ethyl loflazeplate is commercialized in Mexico, under the trade name Victan. It is officially approved for the following conditions Anxiety: Post-trauma anxiety; Anxiety associated with severe neuropathic pain; Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD); Panic attack; Delirium tremens. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. Accumulation of the active metabolites of ethyl loflazepate are not affected by those with renal failure or impairment. The symptoms of an overdose of ethyl loflazepate include sleepiness, agitation and ataxia. Hypotonia may also occur in severe cases. These symptoms occur much more frequently and severely in children. High doses of the antidepressant fluvoxamine may potentiate the adverse effects of ethyl loflazepate.

Nimetazepam (Erimin) is an intermediate-acting hypnotic drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It was first synthesized in 1962 in Japan. It does possess hypnotic, anxiolytic, sedative, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. Nimetazepam is also an anticonvulsant. It is sold in 5 mg tablets known as Erimin. It is generally prescribed for the treatment of short-term severe insomnia in patients who have difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep. Nimetazepam is currently a Schedule IV drug under the international Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971. In Singapore, nimetazepam is a class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Etizolam is an analogue of benzodiazepine that contains thienotriazolodiazepine group. The drug was developed and approved in Japan and now is used in Japan, Italy and India for the treatment of anxiety disorders. Etizolam exerts its action through activation of GABA A receptors, moreover, the agonistic behavior was shown on isolated neurons. There are several cases when etizolam dependence was reported. In many countries the drug is recognized as a psychoactive substance and its distribution is illegal there.

Amineptine is a selective inhibitor of dopamine reuptake. The drug was developed in France and was marketed for the treatment of depressive disorders under the name Survector among the others. Amineptine was withdrawn from the French market in 1999 because of abuse and drug dependence and because of its hepatic (cholestatic injuries) and cutaneous (acne) adverse effects.
