Arildone (also known as Win 38020), an antiviral agent that inhibits replication of herpes simplex virus type 2 and is capable to prevent the poliovirus-induced death in mice.

A radioconjugate of synthetic active thyroid hormone, liothyronine (T3), labeled with Iodine 131. Liothyronine involves many important metabolic functions and is essential to the proper development and differentiation of all cells. I131 liothyronine may be used in radiotherapy in thyroid cancers.

Cimoxatone is a fully reversible inhibitor selective for the A form of monoamine oxidase. Oral administration of Cimoxatone increased brain noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin and decreased DOPAC , 5-HIAA, and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol sulfate.

Medroxalol is a competitive antagonist at alpha1-adrenergic receptors and beta1-adrenergic receptors. Medroxalol also an agonist at beta2-adrenergic receptors. Medroxalol exerts antihypertensive and vasodilating effects. It was concluded that the principal action of medroxalol was to produce a fall in blood pressure by decreasing peripheral vascular resistance more than cardiac output.

Androsterone, a neurosteroid, acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABA(A) receptors, that can cross into the brain and could have effects on brain function. It was discovered, that the association of beta subunits with alpha subunits GABA(A) receptor affects the sensitivity of glycine receptors to androsterone. In spite of that, androsteron is considered as an inactive metabolite of testosterone. In addition, was studied that androsterone possessed anticonvulsant properties. Although of low potency, the androsterone was present in high abundance and was able to represent endogenous modulator of seizure susceptibility.

Oradon was developed as a mercurial diuretic for oral administration. Information about the current use of this drug is not available.

PGD2 (Prostaglandin D2) is a major cellular regulator, has been shown to bind different receptors: D prostanoid receptor (DP) and chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2). PGD2 reportedly inhibits platelet aggregation, the proliferation of cells, and activation of neutrophils. This compound is also a potent vasodilator that also relaxes smooth muscle but causes contraction of the bronchial airways. PGD2 promotes T cell migration via CRTH2 and aggravates asthma. In contrast, there have been some studies suggesting that PGD2 exerts anti-inflammatory effects via DP, such as inhibiting the migration and activation of neutrophils, basophils, dendritic cells and T cells. Elevated levels of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) have been shown to be present in the bald scalp of androgenic alopecia (AGA) patients and was suggested the PGD(2)-GPR44 pathway as a potential target for treatment. Also was revealed, that PGD2 might be a new target for asthma therapy, PGD2 in serum and BALF were lower in the treated group than in the untreated group.

BI-2536, an inhibitor of Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk-1) was being investigated by Boehringer Ingelheim as a possible treatment for cancer. BI-2536 inhibits Plk1 enzyme activity at low nanomolar concentrations. The compound potently causes a mitotic arrest and induces apoptosis in human cancer cell lines of diverse tissue origin and oncogenome signature. BI-2536 inhibits growth of human tumor xenografts in nude mice and induces regression of large tumors with well-tolerated intravenous dose regimens. In treated tumors, cells arrest in prometaphase, accumulate phosphohistone H3, and contain aberrant mitotic spindles. This mitotic arrest is followed by a surge in apoptosis, detectable by immunohistochemistry and noninvasive optical and magnetic resonance imaging. For addressing the therapeutic potential of Plk1 inhibition, BI-2536 has progressed into clinical studies in patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancers. It underwent phase II clinical studies for the treatment of breast cancer; non-small cell lung cancer; pancreatic cancer; prostate cancer; small cell lung cancer, but these studies were discontinued later.

Nisobamate is a tranquilizer, sedative and hypnotic.
