Davalintide (AC-2307) is a second-generation mimetic of a pancreatic peptide hormone amylin, developed by Amylin Pharmaceuticals. In preclinical models, davalintide possessed enhanced pharmacological properties and was able to reduce food intake. Safety, tolerability, and effect on body weight of subcutaneous davalintide were investigated in obese or overweight subjects. The results of the clinical trial were not reported, but Amylin decided to discontinue davalintide in 2010.

Talnetant (SB-223412) is a selective, orally active neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist and is under development for the potential treatment of several disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome, schizophrenia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cough, overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. The most common adverse effects were headache, fatigue, and nausea.

Inocoterone acetate (USAN) (also known as RU-38882, RU-882) is the acetate ester of inocoterone a steroid-like nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) that was developed for topical administration to treat acne but was never marketed. Inocoterone acetate is actually not a silent antagonist of the androgen receptor but rather a weak partial agonist, similarly to steroidal antiandrogens like cyproterone acetate. In this double-blind study of 126 male subjects with acne, a topical solution of the antiandrogen inocoterone produced a modest but statistically significant reduction in the number of inflammatory acne lesions.

Sanfetrinem cilexetil (formerly known as GV 118819), a beta-lactam antibiotic, is the oral prodrug of sanfetrinem. Experiments on rodents have revealed that sanfetrinem cilexetil had strong antibacterial activity in vitro and good pharmacokinetic behavior in mice. This drug was suitable for the treatment of infections caused by a variety of bacteria and participated in a phase II clinical trial. However, this study was discontinued.

Adrogolide is a chemically stable prodrug of the dopamine D1 receptor agonist A-86929. Adrogolide is rapidly converted in plasma to A-86929. A-86929 has high affinity and functional selectivity for the dopamine D1 receptor. Adrogolide has been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and cocaine abuse. However, this research has been discontinued. The adverse events associated with its use of adrogolide were of mild-to-moderate severity and included injection site reaction, asthenia, headache, nausea, vomiting, postural hypotension, vasodilitation, and dizziness.

Enciprazine also known as WY-48624 or, D-3112 is a GABA A receptor agonist which was in the phase III of clinical trial for the treatment of anxiety disorders. Enciprazine was well tolerated, with low levels of sedative and asthenic side effects reported. However, research was discontinued.

Omaciclovir (previously known as H2G), a cyclic guanosine analog that is structurally similar to acyclovir and was in clinical development for the treatment of herpesvirus infections. This drug acted against varicella-zoster virus (VZV), by the formation of high concentrations of relatively stable H2G-triphosphate, which is a potent inhibitor of the viral DNA polymerases. However, further development of this drug was discontinued.

Zosuquidar (LY-335979) is an experimental antineoplastic drug. It is is a potent modulator of P-glycoprotein-mediated multi-drug resistance with Ki of 60 nM. Zosuqidar was initially characterized by Syntex Corporation, which was acquired by Roche in 1990. Roche licensed the drug to Eli Lilly in 1997. It was granted orphan drug status by the FDA in 2006 for AML. Zosuquidar Trihydrochloride had been in phase III clinical trials by Kanisa Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia. However, this research has been discontinued.

Esmirtazapine (S-(+)mirtazapine or ORG-50081) is an enantiomer of mirtazapine (REMERON®), a high-affinity antagonist at 5-HT2/5-HT3 and H1 receptors, used in the treatment of depression. Esmirtazapine has a shorter plasma half-life than the R(−) enantiomer. Esmirtazapine is preferentially metabolized into an 8-hydroxy glucuronide. Organon was developing esmirtazapine for the treatment of hot flushes (vasomotor symptoms) associated with the menopause and insomnia.

Mimbane was developed by Parke-Davis as an analgesic. Information about the current use of the drug is not available.
