Tandamine was developed as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of depression. Tandamine participated in clinical trials in hospitalized depressed patients, where it showed that the well-tolerated drug could be of some benefit for retarded depressions. In addition, was found in human volunteers, that tandamine possessed significant anticholinergic activity, to reduce appetite and to produce sedation. However, this drug has never been marketed.

Gepotidacin (formerly GSK2140944) is a novel, first-in-class, triazaacenaphthylene antibacterial that selectively inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV by a unique mechanism, one that is not utilized by any currently approved human therapeutic agent. As a consequence of its novel mode of action, gepotidacin is active in vitro against target pathogens carrying resistance determinants to established antibacterials, including fluoroquinolones. Gepotidacin has demonstrated in vitro activity against key pathogens, including drug-resistant strains, associated with a range of conventional and biothreat infections. GlaxoSmithKline is developing Gepotidacin for the treatment of gonorrhoea and skin and soft tissue infections.

Phencynonate (PHH) is a novel anticholinergic compound. It is structurally similar to scopolamine, possesses both muscarinic and nicotinic antagonistic properties as well as anti-NMDA properties. It has been developed as a safe and effective drug for the prevention of motion sickness in tablet form, it also demonstrates clear anticonvulsant effectiveness after soman poisoning in a rat model. S-isomer was more effective against motion sickness and had not anxiogenic action at therapeutic doses. S-isomer has the higher affinity and activity for mAChR in cerebral cortex and acted as a competitive mAChR antagonist. PHH was able to suppress chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced oxidative stress and enhance the antioxidant capacity and antioxidant proteins activity, such as superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6). PHH ameliorated CUMS-induced depressive phenotypes by up-regulating SIRT6 deacetylation activity. PHH-mediating SIRT6 pathway is required for antidepressant response and PHH can be used as a novel therapeutic to effectively treat depression. Phencynonate is in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of vertigo.

Alisertib (MLN8237) is an orally available selective aurora A kinase inhibitor developed by Takeda. Alisertib inhibited AAK over ABK with a selectivity of more than 200-fold in cells and produced a dose-dependent decrease in bipolar and aligned chromosomes in the HCT-116 xenograft model, a phenotype consistent with AAK inhibition. Alisertib inhibited proliferation of human tumor cell lines in vitro and produced tumor growth inhibition in solid tumor xenograft models and regressions in in vivo lymphoma models. It is currently in phase II clinical trials for acute myeloid leukaemia; B cell lymphoma; brain cancer; mesothelioma; prostate cancer; small cell lung cancer.

Trospectomycin is an aminocyclitol antibiotic similar in structure to spectinomycin. The drug was originally developed by Pharmacia & Upjohn. It is a 6'-propyl analogue of spectinomycin, and lacks the aminosugars in glycosidic linkage which are thought to be responsible for the ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity associated with the aminoglycosides. The mechanism of action of trospectomycin is similar to that of its parent compound, spectinomycin: it binds to the bacterial 30S ribosome and inhibits protein synthesis. The transport mechanism for its delivery to its target site does not appear to be oxygen dependent, and this explains the in-vitro activity of trospectomycin against anaerobic organisms. Trospectomycin has activity against a broad spectrum of pathogenic organisms including Streptococcus, Haemophilus, Gardnerella, Neisseria, Peptococcus, Peptostreptococcus, Bacteroides, Mobiluncus, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma spp. Results of in-vivo testing suggest potential utility in a variety of clinical conditions including non-gonococcal urethritis, chlamydial cervicitis, gonorrhoea, pelvic inflammatory disease, pneumonia, anaerobic infections and meningitis. Trospectomycin progressed to late stage clinical trials for treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease (chlamydia) before being abandoned for commercial reasons as the third generation cephalosporins and second generation macrolides in development and use were judged superior at the time.
