PF-03382792 is an oxindole derivative. PF-03382792 is highly potent and selective 5-HT4 partial agonist. It has excellent brain penetration properties. PF-03382792 increased acetylcholine release in the rat prefrontal cortex. It have been reported to reverse learning deficits induced by cholinergic agents. A safety assessment of this compound revealed large therapeutic margins between efficacious concentrations and safety findings. PF-03382792 reached human Phase I clinical trials but future development was discontinued.

PF-03635659 is a potent, very long dissociative half-life (slow off-rate, >1440 min) muscarinic M3 antagonist. Spirometry data from healthy volunteers in phase I clinical studies illustrate that PF-03635659 provides efficacious 24 h bronchodilation from a single inhaled dose, thus confirming the suitability of PF-03635659 as a novel once-daily inhaled muscarinic M3 receptor antagonist for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Safety (tachycardia) and toleration (dry mouth) data from the multidose phase I studies indicate an adverse event profile that is at least noninferior to tiotropium bromide. PF-03635659 had been in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

AZD6280 was invented by AstraZeneca as a selective gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor modulator with higher efficacy at the α2,3 subtypes (GABA-A(α2/3)). This drug participated in trials phase I for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorders, but AstraZeneca discontinued development of AZD 6280.

AMG 337 is an oral, small molecule, ATP-competitive, highly selective inhibitor of the cell surface enzyme called c-Met, which, when dysregulated, stimulates cancer cell scattering, invasion and protection from apoptosis. AMG 337, currently in Phase 2 development for the treatment of gastric and esophageal adenocarcinoma. In addition, recently was shown, that AMG 337 a promising and novel therapeutic strategy for targeting hepatocellular carcinomas with a dependence on HGF/MET signaling.

Pfizer developed fosdagrocorat (PF-04171327), a dissociated agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The drug successfully completed the phase II clinical trial; however, further study of the drug was discontinued.

Pfizer was developing PF-4455242, a selective, short-acting (non-"inactivating") antagonist of the κ-opioid receptor. PF-4455242 was pursued in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of the bipolar disorder and was also investigated as a treatment for depression and substance abuse. In September 2010 Pfizer discontinued the development of the compound.

P276-00 (also known as riviciclib) is a novel, potent, small-molecule, flavone-derived inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk), Cdk 4 D1, Cdk1 B, and Cdk9 T, with potent cytotoxic effects against chemosensitive and chemoresistant cancer cell lines. P276-00 was in phase II clinical trial for the treatment mantle cell lymphoma, but that study was terminated based on interim results and all subjects were off study at that time. Although, there were not the major safety or tolerability concerns. However, this drug successfully passed phase II clinical trial for the treatment Melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, malignant melanoma and in combination with Gemcitabine in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.

Dihydromyricetin is a flavonoid component from the Ampelopsis species japonica, megalophylla, and grossedentata; Cercidiphyllum japonicum; Hovenia dulcis; Rhododendron cinnabarinum; some Pinus species; and some Cedrus species, as well as Salix sachalinensis. Dihydromyricetin exerts a more rapid antidepressant-like effect than does a typical antidepressant, in association with enhancement of BDNF expression and inhibition of neuroinflammation. Dihydromyricetin inhibited the proliferative potential of fibroblasts in the lung cancer cells through targeting the activation of Erk1/2 and Akt. Therefore, there is scope for dihydromyricetin to be evaluated further for the treatment of lung cancer. Dihydromyricetin supplementation improves glucose and lipid metabolism as well as various biochemical parameters in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and the therapeutic effects of dihydromyricetin are likely attributable to improved insulin resistance and decreases in the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, cytokeratin-18, and fibroblast growth factor 21.
