Tanomastat (development code BAY 12-9566) is a non-peptidic biphenyl inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), primarily studied for its potential to treat various types of cancer, including osteosarcoma and other malignancies.

Progabide, sold under the brand name Gabrene, is a GABA receptor agonist which is used in the treatment of epilepsy. It is an analogue of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and acts both via a metabolite and as a prodrug of GABA, in turn behaving as an agonist of the GABA receptors.

Dimethomorph is a fungicide with systemic function. It is used for treating mildew and root rot caused by fungi such as those in the genera Pythium and Phytophthora.

Azalanstat (INN, codenamed RS-21607) is an anti-obesity drug acting as a lanosterol 14α-demethylase inhibitor.

Ro5-4864 ('''4'-chlorodiazepam') is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative of diazepam. However unlike most benzodiazepine derivatives, Ro5-4864 lacks affinity for GABAA receptors and lacks typical benzodiazepine effects, instead being sedative yet also convulsant and anxiogenic in effects. Ro5-4864 was found to be a potent ligand for the "peripheral benzodiazepine receptor", later renamed to mitochondrial translocator protein 18kDa (TSPO). Despite its convulsant effects, at lower doses Ro5-4864 has proved to be neuroprotective and has become widely used for research into the role of the

Tioclomarol is an anticoagulant of the 4-hydroxycoumarin vitamin K antagonist type. It is a second generation drug, used as a rodenticide that is effective for the control of rodents that are resistant to this class of drugs.

Clemizole, sold under the brand names Allercur and Histacur, is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist of the benzimidazole group described as an antihistamine, antipruritic, and sedative which is no longer marketed. It is a first-generation antihistamine.

Phaclofen, or phosphonobaclofen, is a selective antagonist for the GABAB receptor. It was the first selective GABAB antagonist discovered, but its utility was limited by the fact that it does not cross the blood brain barrier.

chemical compound

Tepoxalin, sold under the brand name Zubrin among others, is a non-steroidal anti-flammatory drug (NSAIDs) generally used in veterinary medicine to reduce swelling in animals with osteoarthritis. In rare circumstances, tepoxalin can also be used in human pharmacology to relieve pain caused by musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis and hip dysplasia.

Robenidine is a coccidiostat. Robenidine is an antibiotic used for the control of coccidiosis, a debilitating protozoal infection in poultry. Although there are alternative antibiotics available, robenidine is important in the management of antibiotic resistance as farmers rotate the use of robenidine with other antibiotics to try to preserve the effectiveness of these products in fighting infections.

Cicletanine is a furopyridine compound (i.e., has a pyridine ring fused to a furan ring) that is approved in France for the treatment of hypertension. The drug is most commonly known as a diuretic drug, but has a broader range of cardiovascular and metabolic activity characterized extensively in the literature (see "Mechanism" below).

Setastine (Loderix) is an antihistamine used to treat allergies and rhinitis.

Lonazolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Terutroban is an antiplatelet agent developed by Servier Laboratories. It is a selective thromboxane prostanoid (TP) antagonist and is an orally active drug in clinical development for the secondary prevention of acute thrombotic complications.

Clofenciclan (also known as chlorphencyclan; trade names Tonquil and Vesitan) is a dopamine-releasing agent developed by Boehringer & Soehne in the 1950s. It proved unpopular as a treatment because of its pronounced stimulant activity.

Otenabant (CP-945,598) is a drug that acts as a potent and highly selective CB1 antagonist. It was developed by Pfizer for the treatment of obesity, but development for this application has been discontinued following the problems seen during clinical use of the similar drug rimonabant.

Carboxyamidotriazole is a calcium channel blocker that blocks voltage-gated and ligand-gated calcium channels and has been investigated as an anti-cancer drug in vitro.

Clobenpropit is a histamine H3 receptor antagonist. It has neuroprotective effects via stimulation of GABA release in brain cells in vitro.

Metofoline (INN), also known as methofoline (USAN), is an opioid analgesic drug discovered in the 1950s by a team of Swiss researchers at Hoffmann-La Roche.

Clazuril is a drug used in veterinary medicine as a coccidiostat.

Fenpentadiol (INN; brand names Tredum, Trefenum; developmental code Rd-292; also known as phenpentanediol) is a drug described as a tranquilizer and antidepressant that was formerly marketed in Europe. It also has stimulant, sedative, and anxiolytic effects, with the latter two occurring only at higher doses.

Cloforex (Oberex) is an anorectic of the amphetamine class. It is a prodrug to chlorphentermine. It never became a mass produced drug in part due to the side effects found in mice. Mice who consumed 75 mg of cloforex a day experienced weight loss along with pulmonary hypertension and hair loss.

AL-1095, is a centrally acting stimulant drug with comparable effects to amphetamine, developed by Bristol in the 1970s.

Uniconazole is a triazole chemical used as a plant growth retardant. It is active on a wide range of plants and acts by inhibiting the production of gibberellins.

4-Chlorobenzonitrile is an organic compound with the formula ClC6H4CN. It is a white solid. The compound, one of three isomers of chlorobenzonitrile, is produced industrially by ammoxidation of 4-chlorotoluene. The compound is of commercial interest as a precursor to pigments.

Tipifarnib (INN, proposed trade name Zarnestra) is a farnesyltransferase inhibitor. Farnesyltransferase inhibitors block the activity of the farnesyltransferase enzyme by inhibiting prenylation of the CAAX tail motif, which ultimately prevents Ras from binding to the membrane, rendering it inactive.

Azimilide is a class ΙΙΙ antiarrhythmic drug (used to control abnormal heart rhythms). The agents from this heterogeneous group have an effect on the repolarization, they prolong the duration of the action potential and the refractory period. Also they slow down the spontaneous discharge frequency of automatic pacemakers by depressing the slope of diastolic depolarization. They shift the threshold towards zero or hyperpolarize the membrane potential. Although each agent has its own properties and will have thus a different function.

Triadimefon is a fungicide used in agriculture to control various fungal diseases. As a seed treatment, it is used on barley, corn, cotton, oats, rye, sorghum, and wheat. In fruit it is used on pineapple and banana. Non-food uses include pine seedlings, Christmas trees, turf, ornamental plants, and landscaping. ==Pharmacology== Estrogenic effect, inhibition of aromatase activity, decrease of estrogens production and increase androgens availability.

Diclazuril (trade name Vecoxan) is a coccidiostat. In 2025 diclazuril has also been reported to interact with tubulin and inhibit its polymerization.
