Talibegron (ZD2079) is a β3 adrenoceptor agonist and insulin sensitiser. It was developed as a potential treatment for obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Talibegron hydrochloride had been in phase II clinical trials by AstraZeneca for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, this research has been discontinued.

Bedoradrine (also known as KUR-1246 or MN-221), an ultra selective beta 2-adrenoceptor agonist, that participated in phase II clinical trials as an adjunct to standard therapy in the management of patients with acute exacerbation of asthma who did not respond to standard therapy. In addition, the drug was involved in trials for the treatment of preterm labor in obstetrical practice. Bedoradrine is also was studied in phase I of clinical trials for its use for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, however, the efficacy for this disease was uncertain.

Prizidilol (also known as SKF 92657) is arylpyridazinylhydrazine derivative patented by Smith Kline and French Laboratories Ltd. as an antihypertensive agent. In clinical trials, Supine and standing blood pressure measured 24--27 h after drug intake was reduced Slight but significant decreases in heart rate were seen after moderate doses of prizidilol. A more pronounced blood pressure reduction was noticed 2--7 h after drug administration. Prizidilol was well tolerated, although dizziness and tiredness were reported by four patients and edema by two.

Sanfetrinem cilexetil (formerly known as GV 118819), a beta-lactam antibiotic, is the oral prodrug of sanfetrinem. Experiments on rodents have revealed that sanfetrinem cilexetil had strong antibacterial activity in vitro and good pharmacokinetic behavior in mice. This drug was suitable for the treatment of infections caused by a variety of bacteria and participated in a phase II clinical trial. However, this study was discontinued.

Tazolol is a selective myocardial beta-blocking agent. Experiments on dogs have shown that this compound could be useful in patients with heart failure due to coronary artery disease. However, information about the current use of tazolol is not available.

Tiprenolol (DU21445) has been shown by both in vitro and in vivo animal experiments, to possess strong beta-adrenergic blocking but a relatively less strong negative inotropic activity. The same report also demonstrated by its inhibiting influence on spontaneous mobility of rat uterus, an intrinsic beta-sympathomimetic activity. Tiprenolol reveals effects similar to propranolol. Tiprenolol was shown to have significantly less heart rate slowing effect at rest than propranolol. However, all other measurements failed to show any difference of statistical significance between the two drugs with respect to any negative inotropic or beta‐blocking activity. The administration of tiprenolol or propranolol depressed the arterial pressure and caused the deaths of some dogs in which a coronary artery had been ligated.

Sulfinalol is a hydroxyphenylalkanolamine derivative patented by Sterling Drug Inc. as the antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive, vasodilating, and adrenergic agent. Oral administration of sulfinalol reduces the pressure of conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats. Antihypertensive action of sulfinalol was inhibited by propranolol pretreatment. Sulfinalol demonstrates effective beta-adrenergic blockade at the antihypertensive dose tested as judged by inhibition of the chronotropic responses to sympathetic stimulation and isoproterenol in pithed rats. In the renal hypertensive dog. sulfinalol lowered both systolic and diastolic blood pressure to normal values with an only slight change in heart rate.

Pirbenicillin is a broad-spectrum semisynthetic penicillin with activity against both gram-positive cocci and gram-negative bacilli. Pirbenicillin is less active than either carbenicillin or ticarcillin against Proteus spp. It is as active as carbenicillin against Serratia spp. and Enterobacter spp. Pirbenicillin demonstrated eight- and fourfold better minimal bactericidal concentration values towards Pseudomonas isolates than those of carbenicillin and ticarcillin, respectively. Pirbenicillin binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. The drug is somewhat more stable in serum than carbenicillin. Pirbenicillin does not appear to inactivate gentamicin as rapidly as carbenicillin.

Cefazaflur (INN) is a semisynthetic first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic patented by Smithkline Corp. For treatment of bacterial infections.

Cetamolol is a beta adrenergic antagonist with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, patented by Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd for cardiovascular disease treatment. The average plasma half-life of cetamolol is 6.4 hours in humans and peak serum levels are reached 1 to 2 hours after drug intake; oral doses as low as 10 mg produced significant reductions in exercise-induced tachycardia 24 hours after drug administration. Cetamolol is approximately three times as potent as atenolol in blocking exercise-induced tachycardia.
