Quiflapon Sodium (MK-0591; (3-[1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3-(t-butylthio)-5-(quinolin-2-yl-methoxy)- indol-2-yl]-2,2-dimethyl propanoic acid, previously L-686,708) had been in phase II clinical studies for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, but the study was discontinued later, because in spite of MK-591 markedly inhibited Leukotrienes (LT) biosynthesis, it did not differ significantly from placebo in clinical efficacy. Also was discovered, that MK-0591 may modify the airway changes associated with bronchial hyper responsiveness, as well as offer symptomatic relief in asthma. MK-0591 is a selective and specific 5-Lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 1.6 nM in a FLAP binding assay. In additional, recently was discovered, that MK591 possesses all major attributes of a standard anti-metastatic agent with significant cancer-selective effect, and suggest that MK591 may turn out to be an effective agent for therapy of castration-resistant, bone-metastatic prostate cancer. Though details of the molecular underpinnings of the anti-metastatic action of MK591 are unknown at this time, this finding gives an opportunity for further exploration to better understand the signaling mechanisms involved by in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Methyldihydromorphine is a synthetic narcotic analgesic related to the morphine. This compound has no pharmaceutical value in the US.

Algestone is a progesterone like female hormone. Algestone is a C21-steroid that is pregn-4-ene substituted by oxo groups at position 3 and 20 and hydroxy groups at positions 16 and 17. It has a role as a progestin. It is a 20-oxo steroid, a 16alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 17-hydroxy steroid, a C21-steroid, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid and a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It derives from a hydride of a pregnane. Algestone is used as anti-inflammatory drug (topical) and combination with enanthate as injectable contraceptive.

FLUMETRAMIDE is a skeletal muscle relaxant.

Stenbolone is an anabolic–androgenic steroid of the dihydrotestosterone group patented by Schering AG but never marketed. Ester prodrug of stenbolone is used as an anabolic–androgenic steroid for depot intramuscular injection under the brand names Anatrofin and Stenobolone.

Ibuverine was studied as an antispasmodic agent. Information about the current use of this drug is not available.

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.

Rostafuroxin (PST 2238) is a digitoxygenin derivative, which selectively displaces ouabain from the Na ,K -ATPase receptor. PST 2238, at concentrations up to 10−4 M, did not show any significant interaction with a- and b-adrenergic, D1, D2, D3, 5-HT1, 5-HT2, H1, H2, M1, M2, A1, A2, Ca2 , Na , or K channel–associated receptors, AT1, AT2, ETa, ETb, GABA, thromboxane, vasopressin, angiotensin II, or the steorid-hormone receptors (androgen, progestogen, estrogen and mineralocorticoid), confirming that PST 2238 is specific for Na ,K -ATPase. Rostafuroxin has been developed in an attempt to unravel the contribution of mutated adducin and endogenous ouabain in the pathogenesis of hypertension. The compound lowered blood pressure in Milan hypertensive rats and humans. Rostafuroxine had been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of hypertension. Following adverse events in Rostafuroxin group were described: dizziness, headache, upper respiratory tract infections, high blood pressure.

Asperlin (also known as U-13,933), a fungal natural product that was isolated from marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. SF-5044 and exhibits antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties in vitro. Experiments in vivo have shown that this compound can prevent atherosclerosis through suppressing inflammation rather than ameliorating dyslipidemia. In addition, asperlin can be developed as a potential anti-cancer therapeutics. It shows anti-cancer properties through ROS generation and ATM pathway in human cervical carcinoma cells.
