(-)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-n-propylpiperidine ((-)-3-PPP, also known as preclamol) has a dual action towards to dopamine D2 autoreceptor: it activates it and also acts concomitantly as an antagonist at postsynaptic DA receptors. It was shown, that (-)-3PPP/preclamol was a safe drug for study in the treatment of schizophrenia and may have antipsychotic efficacy. Besides, the motor effects of the drug were evaluated in nine patients with Parkinson's disease using a double-blind, placebo-controlled design. However, the small number of patients manifesting a clinically significant response and the frequently inconsistent effects could indicate that this class of agents may have relatively limited clinical utility.

As a narcotic antagonist similar in action to naloxone, DIPRENORPHINE is used to remobilize animals after analgesia by super-potent opioid analgesics such as etorphine and carfentanil. It is not used in humans. Diprenorphine binds approximately equally to the three subtypes of opioid receptors (mu, delta, and kappa) and antagonizes them. This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenanthrenes and derivatives. These are polycyclic compounds containing a phenanthrene moiety, which is a tricyclic aromatic compound with three non-linearly fused benzene. The therapeutic efficacy of many other compounds can be decreased when used in combination with Diprenorphine (54 compounds mentioned on www.drugbank.ca).

Pleuromulin (pleuromulitin) is a natural antibiotic isolated from Basidiomycete Pleurotus. Pleuromulitin exhibits activity mainly against gram-positive bacteria including S. aureus, Klebasiella pneumoniae and Bacillus Subtilis. Pleuromulin is an organic compound which is not reported to be used in as a drug however its derivatives have been used in treatment of infections. The first pleuromulitin that was approved in 1979 for use in veterinary medicine was semi-synthetic derivative tiamulin. Semisynthetic pleuromutilin retapamulin (ALTABAX, GlaxoSmithKline) was the first approved for topical use in humans in 2007. Another derivative of pleuromulin, Lefamulin has been successfully tested in phase 1 clinical trial for systemic use in patients (Nabriva Therapeutics AG).

Pinolcaine is 10-methyl-2-substituted piperidine. Pinolcaine is a local anesthetic.

Mivobulin is a synthetic water-soluble colchicine analog with the broad antitumor activity that competitively binds tubulin at the colchicine-binding site and inhibits tubulin polymerization. Cancer cells exposed to Mivobulin isethionate accumulate in the M phase of the cell cycle and subsequently die. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that Mivobulin isethionate is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Importantly, Mivobulin isethionate demonstrated significant antitumor activity in a broad spectrum of murine and human tumor models that were cross-resistant to vincristine, cisplatin, vinblastine, navelbine, and doxorubicin and in tumor cell lines exhibiting multidrug resistance owing to P-glycoprotein overexpression. In animal studies, the activity of Mivobulin isethionate was largely independent of the route of drug administration but favored a prolonged treatment schedule. Unfortunately, in clinical trials, Mivobulin fail to demonstrate the significant activity

Adaprolol is a beta-adrenergic antagonist that is being developed as a topical agent to treat glaucoma. Adaprolol demonstrated a safer cardiovascular profile, especially in the population over 70 years old. It was in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of glaucoma. This research has been discontinued.

Daltroban (also known as BM 13505, SKF 96148), a specific thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist, was studied as an antithrombotic agent. The drug was licensed to Smith Kline Beecham, underwent phase III clinical trials in the UK and Germany as an antithrombotic agent but did not enter clinical trials in the USA. Besides, вaltroban was investigated in patients with an ischemic heart disorder. However, the development of daltroban has been discontinued.

Terbogrel, an agent having two pharmacodynamic actions, namely inhibition of thromboxane A2 synthase and antagonism of the thromboxane A2 receptor. The antithrombotic effect of terbogrel was dose-dependent and was associated with enhanced prostacyclin production. The drug was studied for the treatment of peripheral vascular disorders, pulmonary hypertension, and thrombosis. Terbogrel participated in phase II clinical trial to investigate its safety and efficacy in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension, however, this study was discontinued due to terbogrel’s induction of leg pain.

Benzmalecene, an inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis, was studied for patients with hypercholesterolemia. Unfortunately, treatment was associated with undesirable side effects that prevented further using this drug in clinical.
