Fosnetupitant is a prodrug form of netupitant. Netupitant is a selective antagonist of human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK-1) receptors. Upon intravenous administration, fosnetupitant is converted by phosphatases to its active form. It competitively binds to and blocks the activity of NK-1 receptors in the central nervous system, by inhibiting binding of substance P (SP) to NK-1 receptors. This prevents delayed emesis, which is associated with SP secretion. AKYNZEO® is a combination of palonosetron, a serotonin-3 receptor antagonist, and netupitant (capsules for oral use) or fosnetupitant (injections for intravenous use). AKYNZEO® for injection is indicated in combination with dexamethasone in adults for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy.

MOVANTIK (naloxegol) is a peripherally-acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adult patients with chronic noncancer pain. It is being investigated for the treatment of constipation as a side effect of prescription opioid pain medicines.
Idelalisib is a first-in-class selective inhibitor of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) binding to PI3Kdelta kinase, resulting in inhibition of the P13K signalling pathway in malignant B cells. The compound is approved for the treatment of several types of blood cancer. Idelalisib is intended to be used in combination with rituximab as second or subsequent line therapy for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The drug may cause fatal and/or severe diarrhea or colitis, hepatotoxicity, pneumonitis and intestinal perforation.
Oritavancin is an glycopeptide antibiotic with bactericidal activity effective in treating infections caused by Gram-positive organisms. It treats complicated skin and skin structure infections. This drug demonstrates similar activity to vancomycin, but it has stronger activity against Staphylococcus and Enterococcus. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oritavancin appear to be favourable and once-daily dosing is likely. The incidence of multi-drug resistant bacteria is increasing and explorations into additional treatment options are essential. Oritavancin is marketed under the brand name Orbactiv. Orbactiv is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections caused or suspected to be caused by susceptible isolates of designated Gram-positive microorganisms. Oritavancin has the following mechanism of action: 1) Inhibition of the transglycosylation (polymerisation) step of cell wall biosynthesis by binding to the stem peptide of peptidoglycan precursors 2) Inhibition of the transpeptidation (crosslinking) step of cell wall biosynthesis by binding to the peptide bridging segments of the cell wall 3) Disruption of bacterial membrane integrity, leading to depolarisation, increased permeability and rapid cell death.
Nintedanib is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potential antiangiogenic and antineoplastic activities. It is the only kinase inhibitor drug approved to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. that targets multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and non-receptor tyrosine kinases (nRTKs). Nintedanib inhibits the following RTKs: platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) α and β, fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1-3, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) 1-3, and Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3). Among them, FGFR, PDGFR, and VEGFR have been implicated in IPF pathogenesis. Nintedanib binds competitively to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding pocket of these receptors and blocks the intracellular signaling which is crucial for the proliferation, migration, and transformation of fibroblasts representing essential mechanisms of the IPF pathology.
Apremilast (brand name Otezla) selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 is used for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. OTEZLA is the first and only PDE4 inhibitor approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin resulting from an uncontrolled immune response. Apremilast also inhibits spontaneous production of TNF-alpha from human rheumatoid synovial cells. It has anti-inflammatory activity. By inhibiting PDE-4, apremilast increases intracellular levels of cAMP and thereby inhibits the production of multiple proinflammatory mediators including PDE-4, TNF-alpha, interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon-gamma, leukotrienes, and nitric oxide synthase.

Radium Ra 223 dichloride is a radiotherapeutic drug that is approved for the treatment of male patients with symptoms of advanced prostate cancer with bone metastases. Ra 223 mimics calcium and forms complexes with the bone mineral hydroxyapatite at areas of increased bone turnover. The radioactive alpha particles emitted by radium Ra 223 helps in killing cancer cells in the bone by damaging their DNA. Radium Ra 223 causes minimal damage to the nearby healthy cells.
Riociguat is a potent, oral stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). It is the first member of a novel class of compounds, being developed by Bayer as an investigational, oral treatment to target a key molecular mechanism underlying pulmonary hypertension (PH). Riociguat demonstrated robust clinical efficacy in two separate PH indications: chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH). Riociguat works in two ways: it sensitizes sGC to endogenous NO by stabilizing the NO-sGC binding and directly stimulates sGC via a different binding site, independently of NO. Riociguat stimulates the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway and leads to increased generation of cGMP with subsequent vasodilation. Through this unique way of working, riociguat decreases blood pressure within the pulmonary arteries that take blood from the heart to the lungs, reducing pressure on the heart leading to improved patient outcomes.
Dolutegravir is an integrase inhibitor that is meant to be used as part of combination therapy for the treatment of HIV. Dolutegravir inhibits HIV integrase by binding to the integrase active site and blocking the strand transfer step of retroviral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) integration which is essential for the HIV replication cycle. Dolutegravir coadministered with dofetilide can result in potentially life-threatening adverse events.
Vilanterol (INN, USAN) is an ultra-long-acting β2 adrenoreceptor agonist (ultra-LABA), which was approved in May 2013 in combination with fluticasone furoate for sale as Breo Ellipta by GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Its pharmacological effect is attributable to stimulation of intracellular adenylyl cyclase which catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3’,5’-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increases in cyclic AMP are associated with relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of release of hypersensitivity mediators from mast cells in the lungs. Vilanterol is available in following combinations: a) with inhaled corticosteroid fluticasone furoate — fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (trade names Breo Ellipta , Relvar Ellipta; b) with muscarinic antagonist umeclidinium bromide — umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol (trade name Anoro Ellipta).
