Tampramine (also known as AHR-9377) is a potent and selective, noncompetitive inhibitor of norepinephrine reuptake possesses antidepressant activity. This drug was studied for the treatment of the major depressive disorder; however, this study was discontinued.

Azepexole (or previously known as B-HT 933), a selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist that was studied for the man with physiological tremor. It was shown that the drug produced sedation compared to placebo but not when compared to pre-treatment values. Some studies also have revealed the anti-tussive and antihypertensive properties of azepexole.

Tandamine was developed as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of depression. Tandamine participated in clinical trials in hospitalized depressed patients, where it showed that the well-tolerated drug could be of some benefit for retarded depressions. In addition, was found in human volunteers, that tandamine possessed significant anticholinergic activity, to reduce appetite and to produce sedation. However, this drug has never been marketed.

Damotepine is a derivative of thiepin, structurally related to doxepin. Damotepine was discovered by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Geigy A.G. and was evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of anxiety in the early 1970s.

Nelezaprine is a skeletal muscle relaxant.

Harmine (aka telepathine) is a fluorescent harmala alkaloid belonging to the beta-carboline family of compounds. It is a naturally occurring metabolite in a number of plants, notably the Middle Eastern plant harmal or Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) and the South American vine Banisteriopsis caapi. Harmine is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), but not MAO-B. Harmine has been found to have potential anti-cancer and neuroprotective properties, and also promotes differentiation of osteoblasts and chondrocytes while inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Harmine has also been used as a C-11 labeled probe in positron emission tomography.

Piriprost (U-60, 257) is a structural analog of prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) with low IP receptor-mediated activity. It inhibits 5-LO (5-lipoxygenase). Piriprost inhibits the release of histamine and leukotrienes, implicating its role in inflammation and allergic responses. However, it was shown, that piriprost did not influence the airway responses after allergen in asthma. Nevertheless, even more, the drug was irritant to the respiratory tract than was placebo.

Trospectomycin is an aminocyclitol antibiotic similar in structure to spectinomycin. The drug was originally developed by Pharmacia & Upjohn. It is a 6'-propyl analogue of spectinomycin, and lacks the aminosugars in glycosidic linkage which are thought to be responsible for the ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity associated with the aminoglycosides. The mechanism of action of trospectomycin is similar to that of its parent compound, spectinomycin: it binds to the bacterial 30S ribosome and inhibits protein synthesis. The transport mechanism for its delivery to its target site does not appear to be oxygen dependent, and this explains the in-vitro activity of trospectomycin against anaerobic organisms. Trospectomycin has activity against a broad spectrum of pathogenic organisms including Streptococcus, Haemophilus, Gardnerella, Neisseria, Peptococcus, Peptostreptococcus, Bacteroides, Mobiluncus, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma spp. Results of in-vivo testing suggest potential utility in a variety of clinical conditions including non-gonococcal urethritis, chlamydial cervicitis, gonorrhoea, pelvic inflammatory disease, pneumonia, anaerobic infections and meningitis. Trospectomycin progressed to late stage clinical trials for treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease (chlamydia) before being abandoned for commercial reasons as the third generation cephalosporins and second generation macrolides in development and use were judged superior at the time.

Fluradoline (also known as HP-494), a centrally acting antinociceptive agent with antidepressant properties. Experiments on rodents have shown that fluradoline blocked the reuptake of NE, 5-HT, and DA in the brain. Besides, fluradoline was studied for the prevention of acute and chronic postsurgical pain.

There is no information about biological and medical application of dorastine . It’s known, that compound possesses antihistamine properties and can be obtained from 4-chloroaniline.
