Fazadinium (used as a bromide salt) is a muscle relaxant, which was applied in anesthesia under the name Fazadon. The current marketing status is unknown and the drug is supposed to be discontinued.

Demexiptiline (Tinoran, Deparon) is a tricyclic antidepressant, noradrenergic drug. It is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Deparon was used in France for the treatment of depression.

Amineptine is a selective inhibitor of dopamine reuptake. The drug was developed in France and was marketed for the treatment of depressive disorders under the name Survector among the others. Amineptine was withdrawn from the French market in 1999 because of abuse and drug dependence and because of its hepatic (cholestatic injuries) and cutaneous (acne) adverse effects.

Deptropine citrate is a well-known H1-histamine receptor antagonist and muscarinic receptor antagonist. It is prescribed frequently for treatment of asthma, although there has been a sharp decrease in prescriptions since 1994. Deptropine is gradually being replaced by inhaled beta 2 adrenergic agonists and glucocorticosteroids as the preferred clinical prescription. Recently deptropine has garnered interest as a potential treatment for breast cancer. In vitro studies have shown deptropine citrate has inhibitory effects on cell viability and mammosphere formation in Breast Cancer Stem Cells (BCSCs). However, it does not seem to inhibit the self-renewal capacity of the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 when it is enriched with Cancer Stem Cells.

Stallimycin also known as distamycin A is an antibacterial and antitumor compound. It is able to bind to the minor groove of double-stranded B-DNA in a non intercalative manner, where it forms strong reversible complex preferentially at the nucleotide sequences consisting of 4-5 adjacent AT base pairs. The pyrrole-amide skeleton of distamycin A has been also used as DNA sequence selective vehicles for the delivery of alkylating functions to DNA targets, leading to a sharp increase of its cytotoxicity, in comparison to that, very weak, of distamycin itself.

1,6-Dimethyl-3-carbethoxy-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-homopyrimidazol (rimazolium, MZ-144) is an analgesic (non-narcotic). It proved to be effective in all the analgesic assays used (independently of the nociceptive stimulus applied) (hot plate, tail flick, writhing tests, Randall-Selitto test, tail clip, surgical pain) differing in this respect from the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory analgetics. Rimazolium lacks the capacity of producing opiate-like physiological dependence. Also rimazolium fails to show any indication of narcotic-like abuse liability by any of clinical assessments. Rimazolium is registered in Hungary under the brand name Probon. In Hungary among analgesics Probon is the first of choice especially in case of chronic pain accompanying chronic respiratory tract diseases.

Aptazapine is a “non-classic” tetracyclic antidepressant drug. Compound bears a structural resemblance to mianserin. Aptazapine possesses a high degree of potency and selectivity for central alpha-2, as opposed to alpha-1, adrenoceptors. Aptazapine failed to inhibit in vitro uptake of norepinephrine or serotonin to an appreciable extent. However, it exhibited a moderate ability to compete for 5-HT2 receptor binding in calf frontal cortex, as measured by displacement of 3H-spiroperidol. Another property apparently shared with other antidepressants is the ability of aptazapine to inhibit histamine-activated adenyl cyclase. As centrally acting alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonists, aptazapine significantly suppressed cataplexy, a major symptom of narcolepsy, in Doberman pinschers.

Chromonar is a coronary vasodilator agent, it dilates coronary vessels and increases coronary blood flow volume rate, contributes to the development of collateral circulation (with prolonged use), improves metabolic processes in myocardium. The mechanism of action of a role played by its inhibitory effect on phosphodiesterase, accompanied by accumulation in the cells of cyclic 3 ', 5'-adenosine monophosphate. Due to the relatively low therapeutic efficacy Chromonar use is limited, mainly in the early stages of coronary heart disease with angina pectoris in the absence of long-standing and long strokes, when there is no expressed stenotic process.

Etoperidone is an atypical antidepressant introduced in Europe in 1977. The activity of etoperidone is made mainly by its major metabolite 1-(3'-chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP). mCPP binds with different affinity to most of the serotonergic receptors and adrenergic receptors. This metabolite is an agonist of 5-HT2c and an antagonist of 5-HT2a. Part of etoperidone structure contributes to the activity in the α-adrenergic receptors. Etoperidone has been studied for the treatment of depression, tremors in Parkinson, extrapyramidal symptoms and male impotence. It is not certain if it was ever approved and marketed but its current status is withdrawn.
