ARN-810 (GDC-0810) is a novel, orally bioavailable, estrogen receptor antagonist that induces proteasomal estrogen receptor degradation in breast cancer cell lines at picomolar concentrations and tumor regression in tamoxifen-sensitive and resistant BC xenograft models. Results from a first-in-human phase I/IIa study of ARN-810 indicate that it is tolerable and may benefit some postmenopausal women with advanced estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Development of ARN-810 was discontinued.

Mirogabalin, a selective alpha 2 delta ligand binds to the α2δ subunits of voltage-dependent calcium channels and thus blocks the channel. This drug was developed by Daiichi Sankyo and in January 2019 was approved in Japan for the treatment of neuropathic pain and for the postherpetic neuralgia.

Iodipamide I-131is a radiolabeled Iodipamide patented by Regents of the University of Michigan for treating diseases and conditions associated with mitochondrial function.

BI-224436 is an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor with effective antiviral activity that acts through a mechanism that is distinct from that of integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs). This 3-quinolineacetic acid derivative series was identified using an enzymatic integrase long terminal repeat (LTR) DNA 3'-processing assay. A combination of medicinal chemistry, parallel synthesis, and structure-guided drug design led to the identification of BI 224436 as a candidate for preclinical profiling. It has antiviral 50% effective concentrations (EC50s) of <15 nM against different HIV-1 laboratory strains and cellular cytotoxicity of >90 μM. BI-224436 also retains full antiviral activity against recombinant viruses encoding INSTI resistance substitutions N155S, Q148H, and E92Q. In drug combination studies performed in cellular antiviral assays, BI-224436 displays an additive effect in combination with most approved antiretrovirals, including INSTIs. BI-224436 has drug-like in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties, including Caco-2 cell permeability, solubility, and low cytochrome P450 inhibition. It exhibited excellent pharmacokinetic profiles in rat (clearance as a percentage of hepatic flow [CL], 0.7%; bioavailability [F], 54%), monkey (CL, 23%; F, 82%), and dog (CL, 8%; F, 81%). Based on the excellent biological and pharmacokinetic profile, BI 224436 was advanced into phase 1 clinical trials. Trials with clinical candidate BI-224436 were put on hold despite promising results.
