DDD107498 is a compound with a potent and novel spectrum of antimalarial activity against multiple life-cycle stages of the Plasmodium parasite, with good pharmacokinetic properties and an acceptable safety profile. This molecule was developed at the University of Dundee, UK by a research consortium. DDD107498 demonstrates potential to address a variety of clinical needs, including single-dose treatment, transmission blocking and chemoprotection. DDD107498 was developed from a screening programme against blood-stage malaria parasites; its molecular target has been identified as translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2), which is responsible for the GTP-dependent translocation of the ribosome along messenger RNA, and is essential for protein synthesis. Preclinical development is underway in United Kingdom. As at July 2016, no recent reports of development had been identified for preclinical development in Malaria in United Kingdom.

Compound M24 is a selective angiotensin II AT2 receptor agonist with a Ki value of 0.4 nM for the AT2 receptor. Compound enhances in vivo duodenal alkaline secretion in Sprague-Dawley rats, and lowers the mean arterial blood pressure in anesthetized, spontaneously hypertensive rats. In a mouse model of atherosclerosis, plaque size and stability were improved in ApoE‐/‐ mice treated with M24. Treatment with M24 resulted in decrease in scar size and reduction in markers of inflammation in a rat model of myocardial infaction.

VX-970 (VE-822) is an ATR kinase inhibitor. VE-822 decreased maintenance of cell-cycle checkpoints, increased persistent DNA damage and decreased homologous recombination in irradiated cancer cells. Vertex Pharmaceuticals is developing VX 970 for the treatment of advanced solid tumours. Phase I/II development is underway in the US for small-cell lung cancer and in the UK for solid tumours. Phase II development of VX 970 as a combination therapy in urogenital cancer, ovarian, primary peritoneal and fallopian tube cancer indications is underway in the US.
