tolimidone
Tolimidone (CP-26154; MLR-1023) is a compound which was discovered by scientists at Pfizer, was found to stimulate secretion of gastric mucosa, and was in development by Pfizer as a drug candidate to treat gastric ulcers but was abandoned. After the patent on the compound expired, scientists at the company Melior Discovery identified it as a potential drug candidate for diabetes through a phenotypic screen. The company proceeded to show that MLR-1023 is an allosteric activator of Lyn kinase with an EC50 of 63 nM. As of 2012 Melior was repurposing it for diabetes. In June 2016, the company repo
tebanicline
Tebanicline (ebanicline, ABT-594) is a potent synthetic nicotinic (non-opioid) analgesic drug developed by Abbott. It was developed as a less toxic analog of the potent poison dart frog-derived compound epibatidine, which is about 200 times stronger than morphine as an analgesic, but produces extremely dangerous toxic side effects. Like epibatidine, tebanicline showed potent analgesic activity against neuropathic pain in both animal and human trials, but with far less toxicity than its parent compound. It acts as a partial agonist at neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, binding to both
(RS)-cimoxatone
Cimoxatone (MD 780515) is a reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (RIMA). It was never marketed.
5-Methoxy-7,N,N-trimethyltryptamine
'5-Methoxy-7,N,N-trimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-7,N,N-TMT, 5-MeO-7-TMT), also known as 7-Me-5-MeO-DMT', is a tryptamine derivative which acts as a partial agonist at the 5-HT2 serotonin receptors, with an EC50 of 63.9 nM and an efficacy of 66.2% at 5-HT2A (vs 5-HT), and weaker activity at 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C. In animal tests, both 7,N,N-TMT and 5-MeO-7,N,N-TMT produced behavioural responses similar to those of psychedelic drugs such as DMT and 5-MeO-DMT, but compounds with larger 7-position substituents such as 7-ethyl-DMT and 7-bromo-DMT did not produce psychedelic-appropriate responding despite hi
meprotixol
Meprotixol is a cough suppressant. It has also been used for the treatment of rheumatic diseases.
seproxetine
Seproxetine, also known as '(S)-norfluoxetine', is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It is the main active metabolite of the widely used antidepressant fluoxetine; it is nearly 4 times more selective for stimulating neurosteroid synthesis relative to serotonin reuptake inhibition than fluoxetine. It is formed through the demethylation, or removal of a methyl group, of fluoxetine. Seproxetine is both an inhibitor of serotonin and dopamine transporters, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors. It was being investigated by Eli Lilly and Company as an antidepressant; however, it causes cardiac
MEAI
MEAI, also known as 5-methoxy-2-aminoindane (5-MeO-AI) and by its developmental code name CMND-100, is an entactogen-like psychoactive drug of the 2-aminoindane family. It is a cyclized phenethylamine and is the 2-aminoindane analogue of 3-methoxyamphetamine. The drug acts as a serotonin–norepinephrine releasing agent (SNRA) or as a modestly selective serotonin releasing agent (SSRA), with about 6-fold preference for induction of serotonin over norepinephrine release. MEAI has been encountered as a novel designer recreational drug. It is also under development for potential medical use in the
monoxerutin
Monoxerutin is a flavonol, a type of flavonoid. It is more accurately a hydroxyethylrutoside.
L-655,708
L-655,708 (FG-8094) is a nootropic drug invented in 1996 by a team working for Merck, Sharp and Dohme, that was the first compound developed which acts as a subtype-selective inverse agonist at the α5 subtype of the benzodiazepine binding site on the GABAA receptor. It acts as an inverse agonist at the α1, α2, α3 and α5 subtypes, but with much higher affinity for α5, and unlike newer α5 inverse agonists such as α5IA, L-655,708 exerts its subtype selectivity purely via higher binding affinity for this receptor subtype, with its efficacy as an inverse agonist being around the same at all the sub
EMM
chemical compound
karanjachromene
Karanjachromene is a pyranoflavonol, a type of flavonol. It is a fluorescent pyranoflavonoid isolated from the seed oil of Millettia pinnata.
onternabez
Onternabez (also known as HU-308, HU308, PPP-003, and ARDS-003) is a synthetic cannabinoid that acts as a potent cannabinoid agonist. It is highly selective for the cannabinoid-2 receptor (CB2 receptor) subtype, with a selectivity more than 5,000 times greater for the CB2 receptor than the CB1 receptor. The synthesis and characterization of onternabez took place in the laboratory of Raphael Mechoulam at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (the HU in HU-308) in the late 1990s. The pinene dimethoxy-DMH-CBD derivative onternabez was identified as a potent peripheral CB2-selective agonist in in vit
Thioproscaline
Thioproscaline (TP), or 4-thioproscaline (4-TP), also known as 3,5-dimethoxy-4-propylthiophenethylamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and scaline families related to mescaline. It is the analogue of proscaline in which the propoxy group at the 4 position has been replaced with a propylthio group.
ifoxetine
Ifoxetine (CGP-15,210-G) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) which was investigated as an antidepressant in the 1980s but was never marketed. Ifoxetine selectively blocks the reuptake of serotonin in the brain supposedly without affecting it in the periphery. Supporting this claim, ifoxetine was found to be efficacious in clinical trials and was very well tolerated, producing almost no physical side effects or other complaints of significant concern.
prenalterol
Prenalterol, sold under the brand name Hyprenan, is a sympathomimetic agent and cardiac stimulant which acts as a β1-adrenergic receptor partial agonist and is used in the treatment of heart failure. It has selectivity for the β1-adrenergic receptor. Its partial agonist activity or intrinsic sympathomimetic activity is about 60%. It is said to have much greater impact on myocardial contractility than on heart rate. The drug has been marketed in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
JPC-211
PNU-99,194(A) (or U-99,194(A)) is a drug of the 2-aminoindane family which acts as a moderately selective D3 receptor antagonist with ~15-30-fold preference for D3 over the D2 subtype. Though it has substantially greater preference for D3 over D2, the latter receptor does still play some role in its effects, as evidenced by the fact that PNU-99,194 weakly stimulates both prolactin secretion and striatal dopamine synthesis, actions it does not share with the more selective (100-fold) D3 receptor antagonists S-14,297 and GR-103,691.
zolantidine
Zolantidine is a brain-penetrating selective histamine H2 receptor (HRH2) antagonist developed by Smith, Kline & French, with the research code of SK&F 95282. It is a benzothiazole derivative with a 30-fold higher potency for H2 receptors than other peripheral and central receptors.
MRS-1706
MRS-1706 is a selective inverse agonist for the adenosine A2B receptor. It inhibits release of interleukins and has an antiinflammatory effect.
