GPI-1485 belongs to a class of small molecule compounds called neuroimmunophilin ligands. This class of compounds has been shown to repair and regenerate damaged nerves without affecting normal, healthy nerves. GPI-1485 binds to FK-506-binding proteins. Phase 2 studies have been conducted to assess whether GPI-1485 is able to delay or stop disease progression and improve symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and whether GPI-1485 can help preserve erectile function after prostatectomy.

Pendecamaine, a zwitterionic agent that was used as an ampholytic surface-active agent in surgical scrubs and in cosmetic and toilet preparations. Information about the current use of this drug is not available.

Ocaperidone [R 79598] is an equipotent antagonist of central dopamine D2 and serotonin2 receptors being investigated as a potential antipsychotic agent. Ocaperidone is a benzisoxazol piperidine antipsychotic primarily binds and with high affinity to 5-HT2 (serotonin) receptors, alpha1 and alpha 2 adrenergic receptors, dopamine D2 receptors and histamine H1 receptors. Ocaperidone is an antagonist primarily at the 5HT and D2 receptors. A proposed mechanism of action is the central D2 receptor blockade which is common to all neuroleptics that are used to treat positive symptoms of schizophrenia.

Chlorphenoctium is amsonic acid salt with potent long-lasting antimicrobial activity

Umespirone [KC 9172, KC 7218] is a serotonin 1A receptor agonist that was undergoing phase I clinical trials with Solvay in the Netherlands as a potential treatment for anxiety and psychotic disorders. Umespirone prevented the behavioural consequences of withdrawal from diazepam. Umespirone also had an anxiolytic profile of action in the tests of rat social interaction and in the marmoset exposed to a human threat. Umespirone reduced the hyperactivity induced by the infusion of dopamine into the nucleus accumbens of rat. In radioligand binding assays umespirone demonstrated nanomolar affinity for the alpha 1-adrenoceptor and the 5-HT1A and dopamine D2 receptors.

Dexanabinol is the synthetic cannabinoid. It is inactive as a cannabimimetic, but exhibits pharmacological properties characteristic of an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor antagonist. It blocks NMDA-receptors stereospecifically by interacting with a site close to, but distinct from, that of uncompetitive NMDA-receptor antagonists and from the recognition sites of glutamate, glycine, and polyamines. This agent also scavenges peroxy radicals and protects neurons from the damages of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, dexanabinol inhibits the activity of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), thereby preventing the expression of NF-kB target genes, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, cytokines and inducible nitric oxide synthase. Dexanabinol is a potent cerebroprotective agent, with a therapeutic window of about 4 h. Dexanabinol is safe, but is not efficacious in the treatment of traumatic brain injury. It was introduced into clinical trials for breast cancer and advanced solid tumors.

Fluperamide was developed as an antiperistaltic agent for the treatment of diarrhea. However, information about the current use of the drug is not available.

Fasitibant (MEN-16132) is a non-peptide sulfonamide-containing bradykinin hB2 receptor antagonist. It inhibits pro-inflammatory response in vitro and alleviates inflammatory hyperalgesia in rodent models of osteoarthritis. Menarini Group was developing fasitibant for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Fasitibant development has been discontinued.
