Prenoxdiazine under the brand name Libexin is used as an antitussive agent. It was shown, that the use of this drug for pregnant women with an unproductive cough could be beneficial.
Lappaconitine is an alkaloid isolated from the root of Aconltitum sinomantanum Nakai. It has a strong analgesic activity that does not involve the opioid receptor. It was shown to have class-I antiarrhythmic action and irreversibly blocks cloned human heart (hH1) channels by binding to the site 2 receptor.

Tipepidine (INN) also known as tipepidine hibenzate (JAN), is a synthetic, non-opioid antitussive and expectorant of the thiambutene class. The drug was discovered in the 1950s, and was developed in Japan in 1959. It is used as the hibenzate and citrate salts. The safety of tipepidine in children and adults has already been established. It is reported that tipepidine inhibits G-protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK)-channel currents. The inhibition of GIRK channels by tipepidine is expected to modulate the level of monoamines in the brain. Tipepidine can improve attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms by modulating monoaminergic neurotransmission through the inhibition of GIRK channels. Tipepidine also is being investigated in depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). As it acts on the central nervous system, overdose can cause altered mental status and other neurological symptoms; however, there have been few reports of tipepidine intoxication, including six cases in children and no cases in adults.
Alprenolol is a beta adrenoreceptor blocking agent and 5HT1A antagonist, developed by AstraZeneca and now available as generic drug. It is used for treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris due to coronary atherosclerosis and acute myocardial infarction.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)


Conditions:

Bopindolol (4-[benzoyloxy-3-tertbutylaminopropoxy]-2-methylindole hydrogen malonate) is an indole beta-adrenoceptor antagonist bearing a benzoyl ester residue on the beta-carbon atom of the propanolamine side chain. Bopindolol is metabolized by esterase to benzoic acid and an active metabolite, 18-502 [4-(3-t-butylamino-2-hydroxypropoxy)-2-methyl indole], which is further metabolized to 20-785 [4-(3-t-butylaminopropoxy)-2-carboxyl indole]. Bopindolol produces sustained blockade of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors, has intrinsic sympathomimetic as well as membrane stabilizing actions, inhibits renin secretion, and interacts with 5-HT receptors. Bopindolol is used in the treatment of hypertension. In limited trials bopindolol has also successfully reduced symptoms in patients with angina pectoris, anxiety and essential tremor.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)


Conditions:

Meprylcaine (also known as Epirocaine and Oracaine) is a local anesthetic with stimulant properties that is structurally related to dimethocaine. Meprylcaine has a relatively potent inhibitory action on the monoamine transporter and inhibits the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. Oracaine is commonly used as the hydrochloride salt and is compatible with the known vasoconstrictors. It has a slightly more rapid onset than procaine with a slight increase in potency. The earliest symptoms of a toxic overdose are stimulation to the central nervous system, thus following the same symptoms as procaine. Not more than 400 mg. (20 ml. of a 2 per cent solution) should be used at any one time for the ambulatory patient. Oracaine, like metycaine, may be used for patients sensitive to the para-aminobenzoic acid derivatives. Oracaine hydrochloride is used at present mainly by the dental profession and in dermatologic surgery.

Acedoben (4-acetamidobenzoic acid) is a benzoic acid derivative and a metabolite of benzocaine. It is a component of immunomodulatory drug inosine pranobex, which is used to treat mucocutaneous infections due to herpes simplex virus (type 1 and/or type II), genital warts as adjunctive therapy to podophyllin or carbon dioxide laser, and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.

Pitofenone is a spasmolytic agent. It exerts anticholinesterase and antimuscarinic activities. Pitofenone is used to relieve pain and spasms of smooth muscles. Pitofenone is also used for the treatment of back pain, sprains, and strains. Pitofenone is used in combination along with fenpiverinium bromide, and metamizole sodium. The drug is currently sold in Eastern Europe and India under various trade names. The combined preparation possesses strong analgesic, spasmolytic, cholinolytic and anti-inflammatory effects on the smooth muscles predominantly of the gastrointestinal and urogenital tract. Indications are strong pain in gastric or intestinal colic, kidney and gallstones, and for painful menstruation. Pitofenone hydrochloride present in the combination exerts papaverin-like spasmolytic effect on the vascular and extra-vascular smooth muscles of the stomach, intestines, urinary tract, biliary tract, and uterus.

p-Butylaminobenzoyldiethylaminoethyl hydrochloride (T-cain) was the most frequently used local anesthetic for spinal anesthesia in Japan in the 1940sā€“1960s. The market for spinally administered T-cain is almost ended. T-cain is still used for topical/infiltrative anesthesia in some specialties. T-cain may also be used as an alternative in patients who are allergic to lidocaine or bupivacaine. The side effects reported for spinal use of Neo Percamin S (T-cain with dibucaine) were hypotension, bradycardia, respiratory arrest, and allergy.
