Y-700 (Niraxostat or 1-[3-Cyano-4-(2,2-dimethylpropoxy)phenyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid) is an inhibitor of xanthine oxidoreductase. Y-700 demonstrated high oral bioavailability being predominantly eliminated via the liver. It potently reduces serum uric acid levels. Y-700 was in clinical trials for the treatment of gout.

Veliparib (ABT-888) is a potent inhibitor of PARP, has good oral bioavailability, can cross the blood-brain barrier, and potentiates temozolomide, platinums, cyclophosphamide, and radiation in syngeneic and xenograft tumor models. AbbVie is developing veliparib for the treatment of cancers. Clinical trials are underway worldwide, investigating veliparib primarily as part of a combination therapy in oncology indications such as brain, colorectal, melanoma, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancers.

BMS-754807 is a small-molecule insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) antagonist that was being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb. BMS-754807 is a potent and reversible inhibitor of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor/insulin receptor family kinases (Ki, <2 nmol/L). It is currently in phase II development for the treatment of a variety of human cancers. BMS-754807 effectively inhibits the growth of a broad range of human tumor types in vitro, including mesenchymal (Ewing's, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, and liposarcoma), epithelial (breast, lung, pancreatic, colon, gastric), and hematopoietic (multiple myeloma and leukemia) tumor cell lines (IC50, 5-365 nmol/L); the compound caused apoptosis in a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line, Rh41, as shown by an accumulation of the sub-G1 fraction, as well as by an increase in poly ADP ribose polymerase and Caspase 3 cleavage. BMS-754807 is active in vivo in multiple (epithelial, mesenchymal, and hematopoietic) xenograft tumor models with tumor growth inhibition ranging from 53% to 115% and at a minimum effective dose of as low as 6.25 mg/kg dosed orally daily. Combination studies with BMS-754807 have been done on multiple human tumor cell types and showed in vitro synergies (combination index, <1.0) when combined with cytotoxic, hormonal, and targeted agents. The combination of cetuximab and BMS-754807 in vivo, at multiple dose levels, resulted in improved clinical outcome over single agent treatment. These data show that BMS-754807 is an efficacious, orally active growth factor 1 receptor/insulin receptor family-targeted kinase inhibitor that may act in combination with a wide array of established anticancer agents.

Devazepide (L-364718 or MK-329) is a nonpeptide antagonist for the peripheral (type-A) cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor, which has proved effective in blocking the actions of both exogenous and endogenous CCK in several species. It is an orally active antagonist of CCK-stimulated pancreaticobiliary output in man. Devazepide has been developing for the treatment of anxiety, cancer, neuropathic pain however development discontinued.

Norcodeine is the N-demethylated derivative of codeine. It has relatively little opioid activity in its own right, but is formed as a metabolite of codeine following ingestion. Codeine and its other major metabolites codeine-6-glucuronide and norcodeine have weak affinity to opioid μ-receptors.

Meclonazepam (Ro11-3128 or 3-methylclonazepam) is a benzodiazepine derivative. It exerts anxiolytic activity. Meclonazepam demonstrated anti-schistosomal action, it causes spastic paralysis, calcium influx and tegumental disruption in the parasites. Contracturant effect of meclonazepam is not a result of its binding to the worm benzodiazepine binding sites.
