Gastrodin is the main bioactive component of Gastrodia elata Blume (G. elata). Tian Ma Su Zhu She Ye (contains Gastrodin) It is an extensively used in the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, to treat neurasthenia, neurasthenia syndrome, angioneurotic headache disorder, traumatic brain syndrome, vertigo meniere disease, medicinal with dizziness, vertigo, sudden deafness, vestibular neuronitis, vertebral basilar artery blood supply deficiency, etc. Apart from traditional claims, scientific reports support the antioxidative, anticonvulsive, antiinflammatory, antiepileptic, antiobesity, anxiolytic, and learning and memory improvements in activities of gastrodin

Bietaserpine is a derivative of a Rauwolfia alkaloid reserpine. It was used as an antihypertensive agent and marketed in the 1960s in France and Italy. Bietaserpine is believed to act by inhibiting VMAT receptors.

Paramethasone is a glucocorticoid. It exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant actions. Paramethasone stimulates the synthesis of enzymes needed to decrease anti-inflammatory response. It suppresses the immune system by reducing activity and volume of the lymphatic system, thus producing lymphocytopenia decreasing passage of immune complexes and possibly by depressing reactivity of tissue to antigen-antibody interactions.

Tiazofurin (NSC-286193; 2-beta-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-carboxamide) an approved chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) drug, is converted by cellular enzymes into tiazofurin adenine dinucleotide, TAD, which inhibits the enzyme as a cofactor mimic. Resistance to tiazofurin is quickly developed due to diminished ability of resistant cells to synthesize TAD and increased enzymatic degradation of TAD. It is a nucleoside analog with oncolytic activity being developed by Ribapharm (formerly ICN Pharmaceuticals) as a potential treatment for leukemia. Ribapharm, through a Russian subsidiary of ICN, is planned to conduct phase II studies of tiazofurine involving patients suffering from advanced ovarian cancer or multiple myeloma which is resistant to conventional therapy.

Fluocortolone is a topical corticosteroid (class of steroid hormones formed in the adrenal gland). Is primary indicated in condition like, Ana fissure, Dermatosis haemorrhoids, proctitis. The signs and symptoms that are produced after the acute overdosage include convulsions, respiratory arrest, allergic skin reactions. Glucocorticoids, such as fluocortolone, act through nuclear hormone receptors Schaaf and Cidlowski (2002). The two members of this family are glucocorticoid receptor (GR) type I and GR type I I. Activation of these sites alters gene expression of endogenous agents that influence immune and inflammatory responses.

Roxithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic, which was developed by Roussel Uclaf and is available in Australia. Roxithromycin prevents bacteria from growing, by interfering with their protein synthesis. Roxithromycin binds to the subunit 50S of the bacterial ribosome, and thus inhibits the translocation of peptides. It can treat respiratory tract, urinary and soft tissue infections.

FORMOCORTAL is a corticosteroid used in ophthalmology and in dermatology.

Proscillaridin is a substance that was used in Europe for the treatment of heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Proscillaridin belongs to glycosides and acts as a Na /K -ATPase inhibitor.

Bromisoval (INN; aka bromvalerylurea) is a hypnotic and sedative compound of the bromoureide group discovered by Knoll in 1907 and patented in 1909. It is marketed over the counter in Asia under various trade names (such as Brovarin) usually in combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Chronic use of bromisoval has been associated with bromine poisoning. Bromovisal can be prepared by bromination of isovaleric acid by the Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction followed by reaction with urea. Bromvalerylurea (BU) can suppress expression of many kinds of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators in LPS- or interferon-γ activated alveolar and peritoneal macrophages. Bromisoval was found to ameliorate sepsis in rats. It also prevents elevated serum-IL-6 level as well as IL-6 mRNA expression in septic rats. Bromisoval was also found useful for inflammatory skin disorders. The compound is able to suppress the TLR ligands-induced proinflammatory response similar to the steroid DEX without the side effects often associated with the steroid usage.
