Eletriptan (eletriptan hydrobromide, trade name Relpax) is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT1B/1D) serotonin receptor agonist (triptan) indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Eletriptan binds with high affinity to 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D and 5-HT1F receptors, and has modest affinity for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1E, 5-HT2B and 5-HT7 receptors. The therapeutic activity of eletriptan for the treatment of migraine headache is thought to be due to the agonist effects at the 5-HT1B/1D receptors on intracranial blood vessels (including the arterio-venous anastomoses) and sensory nerves of the trigeminal system which result in cranial vessel constriction and inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release. Eletriptan (Relpax) has been approved for use in the acute treatment of migraine in 51 countries and has been introduced in 17 countries including Mexico, Italy, France and Japan.

Loperamide is a commonly used over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medicine that is approved to help control symptoms of diarrhea, including Travelers’ Diarrhea. The maximum approved daily dose for adults is 8 mg per day for OTC use and 16 mg per day for prescription use. It is sold under the OTC brand name Imodium A-D, as store brands, and as generics. In vitro and animal studies show that IMODIUM® (loperamide hydrochloride) acts by slowing
intestinal motility and by affecting water and electrolyte movement through the bowel.
Loperamide binds to the opiate receptor in the gut wall. Consequently, it inhibits the release of
acetylcholine and prostaglandins, thereby reducing propulsive peristalsis, and increasing
intestinal transit time. Loperamide increases the tone of the anal sphincter, thereby reducing incontinence and urgency. Loperamide is also indicated for reducing the volume of discharge from ileostomies. In man, Loperamide prolongs the transit time of the intestinal contents. It reduces the daily fecal volume, increases the viscosity and bulk density, and diminishes the loss of fluid and electrolytes. Tolerance to the antidiarrheal effect has not been observed. Loperamide is an opioid receptor agonist and acts on the mu opioid receptors in the myenteric plexus large intestines; it does not affect the central nervous system like other opioids. It works specifically by decreasing the activity of the myenteric plexus which decreases the motility of the circular and longitudinal smooth muscles of the intestinal wall. This increases the amount of time substances stay in the intestine, allowing for more water to be absorbed out of the fecal matter. Loperamide also decreases colonic mass movements and suppresses the gastrocolic reflex.

HM-30181 is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of Multi-drug resistance 1 (MDR1, ABCB1), also known as P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Co-administration of HM30181 greatly increased oral bioavailability of tubulin-stabilizing chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel. Oraxol is an oral dosage form of paclitaxel administered orally with the HM30181A molecule. Oraxol offers patients with paclitaxel-responsive tumors the possibility of oral therapy without the requirement for premedication to prevent infusion-related hypersensitivity-type reactions. Current clinical data suggests the promising potential of a better clinical response and tolerability profile, which can likely to be attributed to the better pharmacokinetic profile achieved. Oraxol is presently in a Phase 3 trial in metastatic breast cancer and poised to enter into a combination study for treatment of advanced gastric cancer with ramucirumab through a clinical trial collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company.

4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-piperidinol (CPPO) is one of haloperidol metabolite. Neurotoxicity studies in frogs, which have been used to detect N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) action, showed that CPPO did not mimic the neurotoxicity of MPTP but caused a delayed and persistent freezing action in Rana pipiens frogs. It is proposed that this action may contribute to some of the delayed side-effects associated with haloperidol therapy.

Loperamide Oxide is a prodrug of loperamide, an antidiarrheal agent, patented by Belgian pharmaceutical company Janssen Pharmaceutica N. V. as an antidiarrheal agent. Loperamide oxide is reduced to loperamide and has the same antisecretory potency as loperamide in jejunum and colon. In clinical trials, Loperamide oxide provides a safe and effective treatment for chronic diarrhea associated with Crohn's disease. Loperamide Oxide is used in the Netherlands for the treatment of acute diarrhea in adults under brand name Arestal.
