Codoxime is a synthetic derivative of an opiate dihydrocodeinone. It differs from dihydrocodeinone by the substitution of a carboxymethyl oxime for the ketonic oxygen at carbon 6 of the dihydrocodeinone molecule. Codoxime has been proposed as an antitussive with prolonged duration of action. In a clinical trial conducted on prisoner volunteers in 1966, it was found that codoxime has a capacity to produce physical dependence of the morphine type.

Palifosfamide or ZIO-201 (isophosphoramide mustard; IPM), a bi-functional DNA alkylator, is the active metabolite of ifosfamide (IFOS). IFOS and the related drug cyclophosphamide (CPA) are widely used anti-cancer drugs. Both are pro-drugs and need to be metabolized to be active. Their clinical use is limited by the toxicity associated with some of their metabolites. Palifosfamide has shown efficacy in diverse cancer models. ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc, under license from Dekk-Tec Inc, was developing palifosfamide, a formulation of isophosphoramide mustard with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane salt-stabilization (palifosfamide-tris) and previously with lysine-stabilization (palifosfamide-lys). Preclinical studies and phase I and I/II clinical trials demonstrated that palifosfamide-tris had an antitumor efficiency comparable or superior to that of ifosfamide. To date ZIO-201 is not present in ZIOPHARM pipeline.

Encyprate (MO-1255) is a unique drug in being inactive as an MAO inhibitor in vitro but very active in vivo. It most probably is converted by the body to ethyl-N-benzyl-N-cyclopropylcarbamate which is an active MAOI in vitro. I was studying in the treatment of depression.

Hoquizil, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, was used as a bronchodilator agent. Information about the current use of this drug is not available.

Ibiglustat (GZ/SAR402671 or Genz-682452) is a small molecule inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase. Ibiglustat has been demonstrated to effectively lower glycosphingolipid synthesis. Genzyme, a Sanofi Company is developing Ibiglustat for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease, Gaucher Disease, and Fabry Disease.

Securinine is a plant-derived alkaloid from the Securinega plant that has been used clinically as a therapeutic for primarily neurological related diseases. Securinine is well-known GABAA antagonist and recently it was found that Securinine is able to up-regulate p53 protein and to modulate the related family member p73 protein in a p53-dependent fashion, inducing p73 in the HCT116 p53(-) cells and down-regulating it in the p53(+) cells. Securinine induces G1 phase cell cycle arrest, upregulates expression of p53 and Bax, and downregulates expression of Bcl-2, PI3K, mTOR, and p70s6k in breast cancer cells and promyelocytic leukemia cells. Securinine activates p38 MAPK, enhancing monocyte antibacterial activity in vitro as well. This compound also exhibits antimicrobial activity against Alternaria, Curvularia, and Helminthosporum. Additionally, securinine decreases AChE activity and suppresses amyloid-β (Aβ)-induced glial inflammatory responses in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease, improving cognitive deficits. Securinine’s activity as a GABA antagonist, likely explains its reported clinical success in limited studies for the treatment of neurological conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), poliomyelitis and multiple sclerosis. Securinine has not been utilized in the United States, it has been used clinically in several other countries particularly China and Russia. In China, it is considered one of the 50 fundamental Chinese herbs and is used in Chinese herbal medicine.

Adicillin (Penicillin N) is a penicillin derivative produced by Cephalosporium acremonium. Adicillin is dextrorotatory. Inactivated by penicillinase as is penicillin G, but differs from the common penicillin by its antibacterial activity and hydrophilic character. Active against Sarcina lutea, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhimurium, Diplococcus pneumoniae. Shows practically no activity against B. subtilis and Staph. aureus. The toxicity is somewhat less than that of penicillin G, although penicillin N is excreted more slowly.

Pelitrexol (also known as AG2037) was developed by Pfizer as a glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase inhibitor. This drug was studied in phase II clinical trials in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who failed treatment. In addition, the drug participated in a phase I clinical trial in treating patients who have advanced, metastatic, or recurrent solid tumors. Information about the further development of pelitrexol is not available.

N-(4-Ethylphenyl)-3-(Hydroxymethyl)-N-Isobutyl-4-(Tetrahydro-2h-Pyran-4-Ylmethoxy)Benzenesulfonamide (also known as GSK2981278) is a highly potent and selective inverse agonist of RORγ under development for the topical treatment of psoriasis. Preclinical data showed that GSK2981278 significantly inhibited the production of the Th17 signature cytokines in multiple in vitro and human tissue‐based systems. GSK2981278 may block the transcriptional activity of RORγt, leading to local suppression of cytokine expression and ultimately, improvement in psoriasis. Unfortunately in phase I clinical trial clinical assessment results showed no improvement of psoriatic lesions following treatment with GSK2981278.
