Ilmofosine (1-hexadecylthio; 2-methoxyethyl-racglycero-3-phosphocholine) is a synthetic 1-S-thioether alkyl lysophospholipid derivative with potential antineoplastic activity. In extensive preclinical evaluation against tumor cell lines and in the human tumor colony-forming assay, Ilmofosine was cytotoxic against both leukemias and solid tumors. Ilmofosine was effective against many tumor types, including ovary, non-small cell lung, kidney, and melanoma. Ilmofosine exhibited competitive inhibition of protein kinase C activity with respect to phosphatidyl-serine and inhibited the enzyme activated by diolein.

Phosphorylcholine (ChoP) is a small zwitterionic amino alcohol, which is composed of a negatively charged phosphate bonded to a small, positively charged choline group. Phosphorylcholine is the precursor metabolite of choline in the glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism pathways and in intermediate between choline and cytidine-diphosphate choline in the glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway. Phosphorylcholine is an interesting compound from an immunologic point of view, being an immunodominant determinant of pneumococcal teichoic acids and also a major prerequisite for proinflammatory effects of PAF and PAF-like lipids where PC is a common denominator. PC is also a component of some bacteria, apoptotic cells, and OxLDL, which, if exposed, is immunogenic. PC has several properties that could in principle both promote and protect against disease, depending on the pathogen and type of inflammatory reaction. In the field of interventional cardiology, phosphorylcholine is used as a synthetic polymer-based coating, applied to drug-eluting stents, to prevent the occurrence of coronary artery restenosis. To date, more than 120,000 Phosphorylcholine-coated stents have been implanted in patients with no apparent deleterious effect in the long term compared to bare metal stent technologies

Vincofos is a broad-spectrum canine anthelmintic. All or nearly all of the ascarids, hookworms, whipworms, and the tapeworm, Taenia pisiformis, were expelled following therapy with vincofos. The tapeworm, Dipylidium caninum, was also effectively removed by the vincofos treatment, but it appeared that a slightly greater dosage would be required to obtain maximum anthelmintic effect.

Picofosforic acid is the laxative.

Norcodeine is the N-demethylated derivative of codeine. It has relatively little opioid activity in its own right, but is formed as a metabolite of codeine following ingestion. Codeine and its other major metabolites codeine-6-glucuronide and norcodeine have weak affinity to opioid μ-receptors.

Fosfosal (2-phosphonoxybenzoic acid) is a O-phosphorylated derivative of salicylic acid used in analgesic and anti-inflammatory therapy. Fosfosal showed analgesic effect in the acetic acid-induced writhing and in the hot plate tests in mice, and showed antiinflammatory effect in the xylene induced mice ears swelling and in acetic acid induced increased vascular permeability tests in mice. Both the effects had no significant differences between fosfosal and aspirin, but the former had less stomach irritation.

Dexfosfoserine (Phosphoserine, L-Serine-O-Phosphate, O-Phosphoserine), the most abundant phosphoamino acid in the eukaryotic phosphoproteome, is not encoded in the genetic code but synthesized posttranslationally. Dexfosfoserine is an agonist of the group III metabotropic glutamate receptors. This endogenous compound inhibits neural stem cells proliferation and promotes survival of nascent neurons thus it has potential therapeutic value in addition to its basic utility as a probe for dissecting molecular mechanisms underlying neurogenesis.

Tafluposide (also known as F 11782) is an epipodophyllotoxin derivative patented by Pierre Fabre Medicament as an antitumor agent. Tafluposide acts as a catalytic inhibitor of topoisomerases I and II, that capable of completely inhibiting the DNA-binding activity of topoisomerase. In preclinical models single or multiple i.p. doses of Tafluposide proves highly active against the s.c. grafted B16 melanoma, significantly increasing survival and inhibiting tumor growth. Tafluposide inhibits the number of pulmonary metastatic foci of the melanoma by 99%. In human tumor xenograft studies, multiple i.p. doses of Tafluposide results in major inhibitory activity against breast) tumors, as well as causing definite tumor regression. Significant activity was also recorded Tafluposide against the refractory lung xenografts.

FLUFOSAL is an antithrombotic agent.

Octicizer is used as a plasticizer.
