Infigratinib (BGJ398), a potent, orally bioavailable, small-molecule pan-FGFR kinase inhibitor. FGFR genetic alterations are the most significant predictors for BGJ398 sensitivity. It is currently in phase 2 trials for Cholangiocarcinoma, Glioblastoma and Solid tumors. Detected adverse events were hyperphosphatemia, fatigue, constipation, cough and nausea. Other adverse events were generally mild and included stomatitis, hair loss, decreased appetite, and fatigue.

Thiabendazole (TBZ, trade names Mintezol, Tresaderm, and Arbotect) was first introduced in 1962. This drug is a fungicide and parasiticide and is indicated for the treatment of: strongyloidiasis (threadworm), cutaneous larva migrans (creeping eruption), visceral larva migrans, trichinosis: relief of symptoms and fever and a reduction of eosinophilia have followed the use of this drug during the invasion stage of the disease. But usage of this drug was discontinued. The precise mode of action of thiabendazole on the parasite is unknown, but it may inhibit the helminthspecific enzyme fumarate reductase. It was shown, also that thiabendazole reversibly disassembles newly established blood vessels, marking it as vascular disrupting agent (VDA) and thus as a potential complementary therapeutic for use in combination with current anti-angiogenic therapies. Was shown, that vascular disruption by TBZ results from reduced tubulin levels and hyper-active Rho signaling. In addition, was confirmed, that thiabendazole slowed tumor growth and decreased vascular density in preclinical fibrosarcoma xenografts and thus, it could lead directly to the identification of a potential new therapeutic application for an inexpensive drug that is already approved for clinical use in humans.

Aniledrine is a narcotic pain reliver. The drug was prescribed as an analgesic in anaesthesia (Leritine brand name), however, it is no longer available on the market. Although the exact mechanism is not fully understood, aniledrine appears to elicit its action by binding to endorphine receptors in CNS.

P-32 is a radioactive isotope of phosphorus with a half-life of 14.29 days. Radioactive decay of P-32 produces beta-particles (electrons) which are able to penetrate tissue at a range of 3-8 mm. Phosphate ion P-32 has many applications in medicine and biology. P32 sodium phosphate was approved by the FDA for the treatment of polycythemia vera, chronic myelocytic leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. P32-phosphate may also be used in the palliative treatment of selected patients with multiple areas of skeletal metastases. As metabolic uptake of phosphorus is selectively increased in malignant tissues, P-32 was also used for cancer diagnostics.

Oleandomycin is a macrolide antibiotic, which was first described under the designation P.A.105 by Sobin, English, and Celmer (1954-5). Later it appeared on the market under three names and in two forms: as pure oleandomycin ("matromycin," Pfizer; "romicil," Hoffmann-La Roche) and as a mixture with twice its weight of tetracycline ("sigmamycin," Pfizer). Oleandomycin can be employed to inhibit the activities of bacteria responsible for causing infections in the upper respiratory tract much like Erythromycin can. Both can affect staphylococcus and enterococcus genera. Oleoandomycin is reported to inhibit most gram-positive bacteria, but has only a slight inhibiting effect on gram-negative bacteria, rickettsiae, and larger viruses. The spectrum of activity on micro-organisms is therefore wider than that of penicillin and streptomycin, but narrower than that of chloramphenicol and the tetracyclines. Oleandomycin is approved as a veterinary antibiotic in some countries. It has been approved as a swine and poultry antibiotic in the United States. However, it is currently only approved in the United States for production uses. Oleandomycin is a bacteriostatic agent. Like erythromycin, oleandomycin binds to the 50s subunit of bacterial ribosomes, inhibiting the completion of proteins vital to survival and replication. It interferes with translational activity but also with 50s subunit formation. However, unlike erythromycin and its effective synthetic derivatives, it lacks a 12-hydroxyl group and a 3-methoxy group. This change in structure may adversely affect its interactions with 50S structures and explain why it is a less powerful antibiotic.

AZAPETINE, a benzazepine derivative, is an alpha-1 adrenoceptor antagonist. It is a potent arterial vasodilator in the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases.

Dimoxyline is the synthetic analogue of papaverine, Acute toxicity studies show it to be less toxic than papaverine. No analgesic action and no tolerance development in experimental animals by repeated administration. But Dimoxyline does not appear to be as potent as papaverine in comparable dosage. Dimoxyline is indicated for the treatment of patients with angina pectoris. Also, significant amount of benefit was claimed in patients with acute or chronic phlebitis, arterial thrombosis or embolism, Raynaud’s phenomena and early thromboangiitis obliterans or arteriosclerosis obliterans. Detected adverse events are: nausea or abdominal cramps.
