Glycopyrrolate is a synthetic anticholinergic agent with a quaternary ammonium structure. Glycopyrrolate is a muscarinic competitive antagonist used as an antispasmodic, in some disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and to reduce salivation with some anesthetics. Glycopyrrolate binds competitively to the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. Like other anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) agents, it inhibits the action of acetylcholine on structures innervated by postganglionic cholinergic nerves and on smooth muscles that respond to acetylcholine but lack cholinergic innervation. These peripheral cholinergic receptors are present in the autonomic effector cells of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, the sinoatrial node, the atrioventricular node, exocrine glands and, to a limited degree, in the autonomic ganglia. Thus, it diminishes the volume and free acidity of gastric secretions and controls excessive pharyngeal, tracheal, and bronchial secretions. Glycopyrrolate antagonizes muscarinic symptoms (e.g., bronchorrhea, bronchospasm, bradycardia, and intestinal hypermotility) induced by cholinergic drugs such as the anticholinesterases. The highly polar quaternary ammonium group of glycopyrrolate limits its passage across lipid membranes, such as the blood-brain barrier, in contrast to atropine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide, which are highly non-polar tertiary amines which penetrate lipid barriers easily. Glycopyrrolate is marketed under the brand names Robinul, Robinul Forte, Cuvposa. In October 2015, glycopyrrolate was approved by the FDA for use as a standalone treatment for Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as Seebri Neohaler.

Phendimetrazine is an appetite suppressant that is FDA approved for the treatment of exogenous obesity. It is clinically available anorectic agent, which display minimal interactions with monoamine transporters in vitro. On the other hand, their medications is known to be psychomotor stimulants when administered in vivo as indicated by their shared properties with illicit drugs like cocaine. The following adverse reactions are described, or described in greater detail, in other sections: Primary pulmonary hypertension; Valvular heart disease; Effect on the ability to engage in potentially hazardous tasks; Withdrawal effects following prolonged high dosage administration. Use of phendimetrazine tartrate is contraindicated during or within 14 days following the administration of monoamine oxidase inhibitors because of the risk of hypertensive crisis.
Glutodine (Cyproheptadine), sold under the brand name Periactin or Peritol, is a first-generation antihistamine with additional antiserotonergic, anticholinergic and local anesthetic properties. Glutodine is a white to slightly yellowish crystalline solid, which is soluble in water, freely soluble in methanol, sparingly soluble in ethanol, soluble in chloroform, and practically insoluble in ether. Cyproheptadine is used to treat allergic reactions (specifically hay fever), Vasomotor rhinitis, Allergic conjunctivitis due to inhalant allergens and foods, uncomplicated allergic skin manifestations of urticaria and angioedema amelioration of allergic reactions to blood or plasma, Cold urticaria, and Dermatographism. Cyproheptadine is used off-label to treat Spasticity Associated With Spinal Cord, Migraine Headache Prophylaxis, Decreased Appetite Secondary to Chronic Disease, Drug-Induced Sexual Dysfunction, Serotonin Syndrome.

Amitriptyline is a derivative of dibenzocycloheptadiene and a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) and is mainly used to treat symptoms of depression. It works on the central nervous system (CNS) by inhibiting the membrane pump mechanism responsible for uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in adrenergic and serotonergic neurons. Amitriptyline has been frequently used as an active comparator in clinical trials on newer antidepressants. It is rarely used as a first-line antidepressant nowadays due to its high degree of toxicity in overdose and generally poorer tolerability than the newer antidepressants.

Benzphetamine is a sympathomimetic agent with properties similar to dextroamphetamine. It is used in the management of exogenous obesity as a short term (a few weeks) adjunct in a regimen of weight reduction based on caloric restriction in patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher who have not responded to appropriate weight reducing regimen (diet and/or exercise) alone. Presumably, benzphetamine produces its effects through mechanisms similar to amphetamine via induces synaptic vesicular amine transporter, but precise mechanism of action of benzphetamine is not known.
