ISOPROFEN is an anti-inflammatory agent with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its anti-inflammatory potency is greater than that of phenylbutazone but lower than that of indomethacin. Its antipyretic action can be explained by an effect of this substance on the metabolism of arachidonic acid in the brain.

IVARIMOD is a hepatoprotectant.

Glenvastatin (HR780) is a synthetic HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) inhibitor. Like other statins, glenvastatin shows very low systemic bioavailability due to an extensive first pass effect at the intestinal and/or hepatic level. This is a positive trait, since the liver is the target organ for statins. Evidence has been found that glenvastatin protects the vascular endothelium from oxidant stress and inhibits the migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells. In rabbits, long-term treatment with glenvastatin reduces the plasma cholesterol level, and decreases the liver cholesterol contents. There are no results of clinical trials for glenvastatin.

Caprindolol, also known as SDZ 21009, is a beta-adrenoceptor blocker with affinity for serotonin (5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors.

Properidine is an isopropyl analog of pethidine that acts as opioid analgesic.

In the early stages of testing was shown that it is about 4 times more potent than gallopamil and 12 times more potent than verapamil in its effects on smooth muscle tone and labeled calcium uptake.

Epervudine (5-isopropyl-2'-deoxyuridine) is an antiviral compound. The antiviral effect of epervudine on herpes viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) is based on the sensitivity of virus DNA to nucleases due to epervudine incorporation into the virus DNA and the resulting change in DNA conformation. Virus selectivity is based on virus induced thymidine kinase activity and on HSV induction of polymerase enzymes catalyzing the incorporation. Epervudine (HEVIZOS) ointment is used to treat herpetic skin infections.

Elgodipine (IQB-875, CAS 119413-55-7) is a phenyldihydropyridine derivative acting as a calcium channel antagonist. Elgodipine inhibited both T- and L-type calcium channels in a concentration-dependent manner. Elgodipine was in clinical trials for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases however its development has been discontinued.

Cariporide is a selective sodium-hydrogen antiporter inhibitor patented by a pharmaceutical company Hoechst A.-G. for treatment myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The sodium-hydrogen exchanger is an important player in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The accumulation of hydrogen ions in the myocyte cytosol; during ischemia creates a proton gradient that promotes the efflux of hydrogen ions in exchange for the influx of sodium ions. This sodium buildup can secondary activates the sodium-calcium exchanger to operate in the reverse mode, resulting in a net calcium accumulation in myocyte cytosol, which leads to dysfunction and cell death. By inhibiting sodium-hydrogen exchange, Cariporide can prevent the accumulation of calcium in the cytosol, therefore reduce the infarct size. In clinical trials, Cariporide shows a statistically significant decline in myocardial infarction but increases mortality. Due to the increase in mortality, cariporide did not pass clinical trials.

Nexopamil [LU 49938] is the (S)-enantiomer of a phenylalkylamine derivative and has calcium channel blocking and serotonin2 receptor antagonist activity. Nexopamil's significant antifibrillatory effect during both coronary artery occlusion and abrupt reperfusion is reliably tracked by T-wave alternans magnitude. Because the major component of the protection could be reproduced by blockade of the L-type calcium channel with diltiazem, nexopamil's antiarrhythmic action appears to be due mainly to blockade of this channel. Nexopamil's antiplatelet action through blockade of 5-HT2 receptors may confer additional protection against reperfusion arrhythmias. Nexopamil was discontinued in phase 2 for angina pectoris in European Union.
