Brocrinat is an ethacrynic acid derivative with diuretic activity. Chronic dosing with Brocrinat does not increase plasma uric acid suggests that therapeutically, Brocrinat as a diuretic may be useful in patients where control of plasma uric acid is desirable..

Protheobromine is a derivative of the xanthine alkaloid theobromine with diuretic and vasodilating activity.

Sulicrinat (also known as HOE 428) is a sulfamoylbenzophenone derivative patented by Hoechst A.-G. as a loop diuretic.

Elinogrel, previously known as PRT060128 or PRT128, is a direct-acting, reversible P2Y12 inhibitor for both intravenous and oral administration. Elinogrel has been tested in 2 phase II studies for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction and prevention of secondary thrombotic events. Elinogrel therapy was associated with an increased incidence of dyspnea and incidence of elevated liver transaminases. The development of the drug was terminated in January 2012 by Novartis.

Furegrelate (previously known as U-63557A), a selective orally active thromboxane synthase inhibitor, with potential for the treatment of various diseases including hypertension, thrombosis, and renal disorders, arrhythmias, but these studies were discontinued.

Niravoline [RU 49679, RU 51599, niravolin], a novel aqueous diuretic with κ-opioid agonistic action. The drug was originally being developed by Hoechst Marion Roussel. Niravoline is a selective agonist of kappa-opioid receptors having potent aquaretic activity. Niravoline was studied with respect to the treatment of brain oedema, heart failure and liver cirrhosis. Niravoline, administered at moderate doses, safely induced a powerful aquaretic effect in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. Moderate doses of niravoline appeared to be a promising pharmacological tool in the treatment of water retention in patients with cirrhosis. The development of niravoline as an aquaretic for the treatment of cirrhosis with ascites and other hyponatraemic disorders has also been halted.

Pibecarb is an antihemorrhagic and capillary protective agent.

Efegatran (GYKI 14766; LY 294468) is a tripeptide D-methyl-phenylalanyl-prolyl-arginal thrombin inhibitor. It was developed by IVAX for the potential treatment of thromboembolic disorders, mainly myocardial infarction. However, information about the further development is not available.

Tanogitran (also called as BIBT986) is a dual inhibitor of thrombin/factor Xa. Tanogitran participated in a clinical trial in endotoxin-induced coagulation, where was shown that tanogitran was a potent anticoagulant. In addition, the drug was studied in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of septic shock; however, information about the further development of this drug is not available.

Prorenoate Potassium is a water-soluble synthetic aldosterone antagonist patented by Merck and Co., Inc. as an antihypertensive agent. In preclinical studies a significant natriuretic response was obtained at dosages of 1 mg/kg and approximately 1.8 mg/kg in the dog and rat, respectively. Prorenoate is relatively inactive at the renal level in adrenalectomized rats without mineralocorticoid replacement. Prorenoate possesses no more than 2% of the natriuretic activity of hydrochlorothiazide in the intact animal. Clearance studies in dogs indicate a direct renal tubular site of interaction between prorenoate and aldosterone independent of changes in renal hemodynamics. The natriuretic response occurred within 100 minutes after a single oral dose and was sustained for at least 7 hours. In clinical trials Prorenoate reversing the renal effects of the synthetic mineralocorticoid fludrocortisone in healthy individuals. Prorenoate was significantly more potent in retaining K+ than in increasing Na+ excretion.
