Cloperidone is a quinazolinedione derivative with sedative and antihypertensive properties. Cloperidone was discovered in 1965 by Miles Laboratories. The activity of the compound was demonstrated by behavioral observations in dogs and cats, by rotarod and activity cage experiments in mice and in other models.

Cloroperone (AHR 6134) is a derivative of butyrophenone with anxiolytic properties. In animals, cloroperone causes slight CNS depression in mice, prevents the lethal effects of d-amphetamine under crowded conditions in mice, suppresses emesis in dogs. The drug was investigated in the clinic for the treatment of psychotic patients. It was shown to be effective anxiolytic at low dosages without sedation, listlessness, drowsiness or neurologic reactions. Cloroperone is a selective binder to 5-HT2 receptors (Ki 4.5 nM).

Befiradol (also known as NLX-112) was initially developed by Pierre Fabre as a selective serotonin-1A receptor agonist for the treatment of cancer pain and neuropathic pain. However, these trials were discontinued. In 2013, the development and commercialization rights were licensed to Neurolixis. Neurolixis studied befiradol in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients that exhibit dyskinesia. Dyskinesia is a side effect that appears after several years of action Levodopa, a drug that remains the gold standard treatment for PD. In 2019, FDA gave a positive response to Neurolixis’s befiradol to be tested in Phase 2 clinical in Parkinson's disease patients suffering from debilitating levodopa-induced dyskinesia.

Idropranolol is a beta–adrenoceptor blocking agent that has never been marketed.

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

Candocuronium is bisquaternary aza steroid derivative with neuromuscular blocking, ganglion blocking, and vagolytic activities. Its potential adjunctive use in anesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation was briefly evaluated in clinical studies in India, but further development discontinued because of attendant cardiovascular effects, primarily tachycardia that was no worse than but also not an improvement over the clinically established pancuronium bromide.

Nemazoline (A-57219) is a nasal decongestant. It has alpha 1-agonist/alpha 2-antagonist activity and was more effective and long-acting than oxymetazoline on canine nasal mucosa, in-vitro and in-vivo. Upon intranasal administration to dogs, the compound was devoid of systemic effects up to a concentration 1000 times that needed for local decongestant effect (1.65 micrograms, atomized from a 1 microgram mL-1 solution) suggesting limited mucosal absorption. After nasal administration to rats for 15 days at a concentration 1000 times greater than that required for nasal decongestion, no mucosal tissue toxicity or systemic effects were seen.
