Iotrizoic Acid is acylated amino acid derivative patented by Swiss pharmaceutical company Cilag-Chemie A.-G. as x-ray contrasting agent

Evatanepag (CP-533,536) is a prostaglandin E2 EP2 receptor agonist. It stimulates new bone formation on trabecular, endocortical, and periosteal surfaces and enhances fracture healing. Evatanepag was under development with Pfizer as a bone formation stimulant for therapeutic use in the healing of fractures.

Iobutoic Acid is a Triiodo-hydroxybenzamide derivative patented by Laboratoires Andre Guerbet as x-ray contrast media in cholecystography and as a choleretic agent.

CPI-613 is a lipoate derivative synthesized to be catalytically inert but to potentially mimic lipoate catalytic intermediates. The drug is in phase II of clinical trials for the treatment of Myelodysplastic syndromes; Pancreatic cancer; Small cell lung cancer; Solid tumors; Bile duct cancer; Acute Myeloid leukemia. The mechanism of CPI-613 action can be explained by (I) inhibition of tumor cell pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) through activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases leading to inactivating phosphorylation of the E1alpha-subunit of PDC; and (II) inhibition of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.

BLI 489 was developed by Wyeth as a 6-methylidene-penem β-lactamase inhibitor for the treatment of bacterial infections and urinary tract infections. BLI-489 has shown the promising clinical data, however, development of this drug, was discontinued.

Flavodic acid is a synthetic hydrosoluble derivative of natural flavonoids. It has been shown to reduce capiliary fragility and permeability. Sodium flavodate was marketed by the Italian pharmaceutical company Farmaceutici under tradename Pericel.

Diprogulic acid (Dikegulac) is used as a precursor in vitamin C synthesis. It is plant growth regulator for hedges. Dikegulac is used to differentially kill terminal apices, and it analogously inhibits basic metabolic functions in dividing cells, but not stationary cells, in suspension culture. At the lowest concentrations, dikegulac partially suppresses division of the isolated tobacco protoplasts. Higher concentrations are required to produce visual cytoplasmic damage to the protoplasts, which probably first occurs at the level of the plasmalemma, as the vacuoles can be released intact. Later, tonoplast disruption occurs. It does not inhibit mature leaves.

Hydroxytoluic acid is a long-acting derivative of salicylate with antilipidemic properties. It shows fibrinolytic activity in human plasma by activating the fibrinolytic system and has been shown to lower plasma free fatty acid, cholesterol levels, and to raise metabolic oxygen consumption.
