Ganetespib (formerly called STA-9090) is a novel, injectable resorcinolic triazolone small molecule inhibitor of Hsp90, developed by Synta Pharmaceuticals. Ganetespib inhibits the growth of many tumor types in vitro and in vivo including AML, ALL, CML, NHL, neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma, rhabdoid cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, melanoma, and carcinomas of the breast, lung, prostate, bladder and colon7-10,14-27. Ganetespib has being studied in multiple adult oncology indications. The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) for Ganetespib against malignant mast cell lines are 10-50 times lower than that for 17-AAG, indicating that triazolone class of HSP90 inhibitors likely exhibits greater potency than geldanamycin based inhibitors. Ganetespib inhibits MG63 cell lines with IC50 of 43 nM. Ganetespib binds to the ATP-binding domain at the N-terminus of Hsp90 and serves as a potent Hsp90 inhibitor by causing degradation of multiple oncogenic Hsp90 client proteins including HER2/neu, mutated EGFR, Akt, c-Kit, IGF-1R, PDGFRα, Jak1, Jak2, STAT3, STAT5, HIF-1α, CDC2 and c-Met as well as Wilms' tumor 1. Ganetespib, at low nanomolar concentrations, potently arrests cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a wide variety of human cancer cell lines, including many receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor- and tanespimycin-resistant cell lines. Ganetespib exhibits potent cytotoxicity in a range of solid and hematologic tumor cell lines, including those that express mutated kinases that confer resistance to small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Ganetespib has been studied in 5 completed Synta-sponsored clinical trials (Studies 9090-02, 9090-03, 9090-04, 9090-05, and 9090-07) and 3 completed Synta-sponsored studies in normal healthy volunteers (9090-12, 9090-13, and 9090-15). Ganetespib is currently being studied in 6 Synta-sponsored clinical trials. Studies include: one Phase 1 study, three Phase 2 studies, one Phase 2b study, and one Phase 3 study. Ganetespib is also being studied in 24 Investigator Sponsored Trials (ISTs)

Tocofenoxate is a semisynthetic tocopherol derivative. Vitamin E supplement.

Demiditraz is used in veterinary as acaricide/tick repellant.

Dioxethedrin is the ephedrine derivative. It is the beta-adrenergic agonist. As a bronchodilator and sympathomimetic agent is was used in antitussive syrup Bexol.

Mexiprostil (also known as MDL 646), a synthetic prostaglandin was developed as a potent antiulcer agent. Experiments on animals have revealed that this drug possessed gastric protection, diarrheogenic and arterial hypotensive effects. The supposed local activity coupled with the antisecretory effects and the good tolerability made it interesting to test mexiprostil as an anti-ulcer agent in man. However, information about the further development of the drug is not available.

Tradipitant is a neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist. The dose of 50 mg of tradipitant given orally for 4 weeks was not superior to placebo in reducing itch intensity in patients with atopic dermatitis. However, in a subsequent study, in which a higher dose (85 mg) was administered for 8 weeks, significant antipruritic effect compared with placebo was recorded. Tradipitant is in phase III clinical trial for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and gastroparesis. Vanda Pharmaceuticals plans a phase III trial in Motion Sickness in 2019.

Menabitan is a synthetic cannabinoid exerting analgesic activity.

Equilin is one of the active components of estrogens used in estrogen replacement therapy. This compound is used as a sulfate conjugate in drug Premarin. Equili is an inhibitor of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1), a key enzyme responsible for elevated levels of 17beta-estradiol (E2) in breast tumor tissues. Thus equilin reduce the E2 levels in breast tissues and hence the reduce risk of estrogen-dependent breast cancer.

Pagoclone is an anxiolytic agent from the cyclopyrrolone family, related to better-known drugs such as the sleeping medication zopiclone. It binds with the roughly equivalent high affinity (0.7–9.1 nM) to the benzodiazepine binding site of human GABAA receptors containing either a α1, α2, α3 or α5 subunit. It is a partial agonist at α1-, α2- and α5-containing GABAA receptors and a full agonist at receptors containing a α3 subunit. Pagoclone produces anxiolytic effects with little sedative or amnestic actions at low doses.

Bizelesin (previously known as U-77779 or NSC 615291), a cyclopropylpyrroloindole antitumor agent acts as a bifunctional alkylating agent and produces DNA interstrand cross-links. This drug participated in phase I clinical trials in patients with advanced solid malignancies, however further development was discontinued.
