Giractide is a polypeptide hormone corresponding to the first eighteen amino acid residues of corticotropin in which the 1-serine is replaced by glycine. Giractide acts through the stimulation of cell surface the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) receptors, which are primarily located on the adrenocortical cells. Giractide stimulates the cortex of the adrenal gland and boosts the synthesis of corticosteroids, mainly glucocorticoids but also sex steroids (androgens). Giractide has been studied in animal models to stimulate glucocorticoid production.

Tavilermide (also known as MIM-D3) was developed as a tyrosine kinase TrkA receptor agonist for the treatment of patients with dry eye. The drug was studied in phase III clinical trial in treating the signs and symptoms of dry eye. In addition, was assumed that tavilermide could be studied for glaucoma.

Enviomycin, antimicrobial drug, was isolated in Japan from fermentation broth of Syteptomyces griseoverticillatus var tuberacticus. This drug, a water-soluble, basic peptide, is effective against tubercle bacilli as well as some gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is related to viomycin and cepreomycin in some of its physicochemical properties. It is used for the treatment of Mycobacterium avium caused lung diseases.

NS-3 (montirelin, CG 3703) is an analog of thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH). More potent and longer acting than TRH, CG-3703 produced beneficial effects in animal models of concussion-induced unconsciousness, cerebral ischemia, memory disruption, spontaneous convulsions in rats, narcolepsy, and spinal trauma. Given its efficacy in these models, the potential indications were broadened to include seizures, nerve trauma, cognitive dysfunction, and sleep apnea.

Dexibuprofen, S(+)-ibuprofen, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and active dextrorotatory enantiomer of ibuprofen. Pharmacotherapeutic effects of dexibuprofen are more potent with lesser side effects than that of the racemic mixture of both isomers. In the acute and chronic treatment of osteoarthritis, it exhibits equivalent efficacy and tolerability as that of celecoxib. Dexibuprofen is a non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX), which is an enzyme involved in prostaglandin (mediators of pain and fever) and thromboxane (stimulators of blood clotting) synthesis via the arachidonic acid pathway. Dexibuprofen is a non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor and hence, it inhibits the activity of both COX-1 and COX-2. The inhibition of COX-2 activity decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in mediating inflammation, pain, fever, and swelling while the inhibition of COX-1 is thought to cause some of the side effects of Dexibuprofen including GI ulceration. The major disadvantage of dexibuprofen is its low bioavailability, the account of its low solubility in physiological media.

Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (Aviglycine, AVG) is a plant regulator used on apples, pears, and ornamentals. In apples, it may delay fruit maturity, leading to benefits such as a reduction in pre-harvest fruit drop and improved fruit quality. In pears, AVG may help maintain fruit firmness. For specific ornamentals (miniature carnations, hibiscus, and rooted geranium cuttings and seedlings), AVG may reduce problems, such as flower senescence and flower bud abscission, that occur during shipping. AVG to be used as a spray solution, applied to apples or pears as a single application 28 days prior to the anticipated beginning of the normal harvest period, and to specified ornamentals 24-to -48 hours prior to boxing/shipping.

METHYLMETHIONINE (S-Methionine methyl sulfonium, SMMS) chloride is a derivative of methionine metabolism in some plants. Methylmethionine has therapeutic effects on gastrointestinal ulceration potentially via its ability to promote dermal fibroblast migration and growth. The natural derivative Methylmethionine is biosynthesized from L-methionine which is first converted to S-adenosylmethionine. The subsequent conversion, involving replacement of the adenosyl group by a methyl group is catalyzed by the enzyme methionine S-methyltransferase. Methylmethionine is particularly abundant in plants, being more abundant than methionine. S-Methylmethionine is sometimes referred to as vitamin U, but it is not considered a true vitamin. The term was coined in 1950 by Garnett Cheney for uncharacterized anti-ulcerogenic factors in raw cabbage juice that may help speed healing of peptic ulcers.

Ethyl cysteinate is derivative of semi-essential proteinogenic amino acid Cysteine. Ethyl cysteinate is widely used in food additive, cosmetic, pharmaceutical area. Ethyl cysteinate is membrane-permeable, readily enters peripheral tissues and the brain, and increases intracellular pools of cysteine in these tissues via a membrane-associated carboxylesterase. The increased availability of cysteine directly alters the redox status of cells and enhances glutathione production. The enhanced biovailability of L-cysteine and L-glutathione would also promote the direct formation of the S-nitrosothiols, L-S-nitrosocysteine and L-S-nitrosoglutathione and the overall S-nitrosylation status of functional proteins in cells.

Ipragliflozin L-proline is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It was developed and marketed as Suglat® by Astellas cooperating with Kotobuki Pharmaceutical and Merck Sharp & Dohme, and approved by Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA) on Jan 17, 2014. It is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Isepamicin is an aminoglycoside antibacterial with properties similar to those of amikacin, but with better activity against strains producing type I 6'-acetyltransferase. The antibacterial spectrum includes Enterobacteriaceae and staphylococci. Anaerobes, Neisseriaceae and streptococci are resistant. The lower and upper break-points are 8 and 16 mg/L. Like other aminoglycosides, isepamicin exhibits a strong concentration-dependent bactericidal effect, a long post-antibiotic effect (several hours) and induces adaptive resistance. Isepamicin is administered intravenously or intramuscularly at a dosage of 15 mg/kg once daily or 7.5 mg/kg twice daily. Isepamicin is not bound to plasma proteins, and it distributes in extracellular fluids and into some cells (outer hair cells, kidney cortex) by active transport. Isepamicin has been developed and approved for clinical use in the 1990s.
