Orantinib (SU-6668) is an orally bioavailable receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Orantinib binds to and inhibits the autophosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), thereby inhibiting angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Orantinib also inhibits the phosphorylation of the stem cell factor receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit, often expressed in acute myelogenous leukemia cells. Orantinib was in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of breast cancer. It was also in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, this research was terminated in 2014. The compound was originally developed by Sugen (subsidiary of Pfizer). In 1998, a co-development agreement took place between Sugen and Taiho for the compound.

Iotetric Acid is triiodobenzoic acid derivative with potential application as neutrophil imaging in diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.

Persilic acid is a virucide, hemostatic, capillary protective agent. 0.1% aqueous solution of K salt is used as a fluorescent acid-base indicator.

Cinnamic acid is an odorless white crystalline acid that has only been recently studied for its potential in cancer prevention. Cinnamic acid and its derivatives are the major group of phenolic acids with ubiquitous distribution in fruits and vegetables. Preclinical data support the beneficial effects of Cinnamic acid, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities. A more recent botanical review noted that cinnamic acid may help pre-diabetic and diabetic patients. When infected mice were fed food loaded with cinnamic acid, researchers saw that their insulin levels were better managed. Another study which used mice models saw that cinnamic acid improved glucose tolerance by promoting insulin secretion.

Phencyclidine is an illegal, hallucinogenic drug that was initially used as an anesthetic agent in the 1950s and early 1960s, but was then withdrawn in 1965 because of dissociative hallucinogenic effects that were often disturbing and sometimes severe and prolonged. Phencyclidine is a noncompetitive NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist and glutamate receptor antagonist, but also interacts with other receptor sites, and may have effects with dopamine, opioid and nicotinic receptors. Phencyclidine disrupts the functioning of receptors for the neurotransmitter glutamate, which plays a major role in the perception of pain as well as in learning, memory, and emotion. It also influences the actions of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which causes the euphoria associated with drug use. Phencyclidine overdose deaths may occur after taking a large dose, though many phencyclidine related deaths result from delusions and other psychological consequences of the drug’s use. There have been reports of death due to accidental drowning, leaping from high places, and motor vehicle accidents in addition to violent episodes of self-mutilation, suicides, and homicides.

Aceburic acid is the acetyl ester of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), it has analgesic effects as a prodrug to GHB. GHB is used medically as an anesthetic as well as a treatment for several neurologically affecting diseases.

Semagacestat (LY-450139) was a gamma secretase inhibitor being developed as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease by Eli Lilly. It was hoped that the drug would help to delay the onset of severe Alzheimer's disease, and thereby help preserve cognitive and executive functioning and in turn improve patient quality of life. Semagacestat (LY-450139) is designed to inhibit gamma secretase, an enzyme that is involved in the cleavage of APP to beta-amyloid. By decreasing production of beta-amyloid, it is hoped that gamma secretase inhibitors will exert a disease-modifying effect in Alzheimer's disease and thus slow or halt the destruction of nerve cells – the final stage in the amyloid cascade hypothesis. In March 2008 semagacestat (LY-450139) advanced to Phase III development, where it was evaluated in the IDENTITY (Interrupting Alzheimer's Dementia by EvaluatiNg Treatment of AmyloId PaThologY) trial, the first Phase III trial for this new anti-dementia drug. In August 2010, Eli Lilly announced its decision to halt the development of Semagacestat. The decision was taken after analysing the preliminary results of the second Phase III clinical trial of the drug, which indicated that semagacestat failed to slow disease progression. The drug, in fact, worsened cognition and the ability to perform day-to-day activities.
