GDC-0152 binds to the XIAP BIR3 domain, the BIR domain of ML-IAP, and the BIR3 domains of cIAP1 and cIAP2. GDC-0152 promotes degradation of cIAP1, induce activation of caspase-3/7, and lead to decreased viability of breast cancer cells. GDC-0152 improves outcome in breast cancer and glioma xenografted mouse. GDC 0512 was in phase I development in the US for the treatment of cancer; however, Roche announced in their 2009 results presentation, that development of the agent has been discontinued.

Valategrast (R-411) is a dual-acting α4/β1 - α4/β7 integrin antagonist which underwent clinical development with Roche for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and asthma. Phase I and II studies have been conducted. It had shown good efficacy in animal disease models. Following oral administration, R-411 was rapidly and completely biotransformed into its active metabolite, RO-0270608, most of which was eliminated by biliary excretion. R-411 had shown acceptable pharmacokinetics and good safety in healthy volunteers. R-411 inhibited eosinophil and T H 2 cell excitation and survival, and inhibited eosinophil migration from blood to pulmonary tissues. The idea of combining R-411 with montelukast (leukotriene antagonist) in the pharmaceutical dosage forms, therefore, provided a therapeutic treatment that had the combined effect of reducing circulating eosinophil counts and reducing eosinophil egress into pulmonary tissues, thereby providing an early onset of bronchodilation as well as sustained anti-inflammatory effects. Valategrast had been in phase II clinical trials by Roche for the treatment of asthma and in phase I clinical trials for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the study had been discontinued. Development of Valategrast was discontinued for the treatment of asthma after clarification of the regulatory framework for that class of compounds.

Talisomycin (former trivial name: tallysomycin A), a third generation bleomycin analog that was studied as an antitumor antibiotic. The drug cleaved DNA preferentially at G-C and G-T sequences and produced specific cleavages at G-A sequences. Talisomycin participated in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of cancer; however, the further development of the drug was discontinued.

Pidolacetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic agent.

Ditekiren is a relatively large renin inhibitor incorporating the hydroxyethylene isostere as well as both the P4 proline and P2’ isoleucine of angiotensinogen. Methylation of the P2-site histidine backbone nitrogen stabilizes the P2-P3 peptide bond towards degradation by chymotrypsin. Even though oral bioavailability was low, serum ditekiren levels were equivalent to 4–8 times the in vitro IC50 for renin inhibition for this peptide throughout the 2.5 h after oral administration that blood levels were monitored. In Na-depleted cynomolgus monkeys, oral dose elicited a hypotensive response that had not returned to baseline by 5 h. Ditekiren had been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of heart failure and hypertension. However, these studies were discontinued.

LAMIFIBAN is a potent and selective nonpeptide glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist. It inhibits platelet aggregation and thrombus formation by preventing the binding of fibrinogen to platelets. It was in clinical development as an injectable antithrombotic agent for treating and preventing acute coronary syndromes but showed no significant effects on clinical outcomes.

Levisoprenaline (l-isoproterenol) is beta1- and beta2-adrenoreceptor agonist. In Japan, continuous inhalation of levisoprenaline is a recommended treatment for pediatric patients with acute severe exacerbation. Compared with salbutamol, l-isoproterenol reduced modified pulmonary index score more rapidly. But in most countries do not recommend continuous inhalation of l-isoproterenol to treat pediatric patients with acute severe exacerbation of asthma due to worsening asthma control. Levisoprenaline was used to cause experimental chronic heart failure in rats.

Salnacedin (also known as G 201) was developed as a topical anti-inflammatory agent; Salnacedin participated in phase II clinical trials in the USA for the treatment of dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis. However, all these studies were discontinued.

KRN-5500, a spicamycin derivative, is a nucleoside-like antibiotic with a broad spectrum of antitumor activity against human cancer cell lines. It also may have value in the treatment of neuropathic pain.
