Deserpidine (Harmonyl) is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an ester alkaloid drug isolated from Rauwolfia canescens (family Apocynaceae) with antipsychotic and antihypertensive properties that has been used for the control of high blood pressure and for the relief of psychotic behavior.Deserpidine's mechanism of action is through inhibition of the ATP/Mg2+ pump responsible for the sequestering of neurotransmitters into storage vesicles located in the presynaptic neuron. Deserpidine is a competitive angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Deserpidine also decreases angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex.

Aripiprazole (OPC-14597) is an antipsychotic agent that is structurally related to piperazines and quinolones. It is a partial agonist of SEROTONIN RECEPTOR, 5-HT1A and DOPAMINE D2 RECEPTORS, where it also functions as a post-synaptic antagonist, and an antagonist of SEROTONIN RECEPTOR, 5-HT2A.

Guanfacine hydrochloride (Intuniv) is a centrally acting antihypertensive agent with specificity towards ADRENERGIC ALPHA-2 RECEPTORS.

Flibanserin (Girosa) is a serotonergic antidepressant used to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Flibanserin has been associated with a low rate of minor serum aminotransferase elevations during treatment but has not been linked to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

AR-A 2 is a selective 5-HT1B receptor antagonist with high affinity to guinea pig cortex 5-HT1B/1D and recombinant guinea pig 5-HT1B receptors (Ki: 0.24 and 0.47 nM), exhibiting a 10-fold lower affinity to guinea pig 5-HT1D receptor (Ki: 5 nM).

RPR104632 is a novel and potent antagonist located at the NMDA glycine site with neuroprotective activity.

Repinotan (BAY x 3702 free base) is an orally active, selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB), exhibits neuroprotective activity, counteracts morphine-induced depression of ventilation in anesthetized rats, and may be used in studies of acute ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury.

Deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, possessing mineralocorticoid activity and serving as a precursor to aldosterone. As an agonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor, DOCA can induce severe kidney damage, including inflammation, fibrosis, glomerular injury, and proteinuria. It is commonly used to establish animal models of chronic kidney injury and hypertension.

ROS 234 dioxalate is a potent antagonist of H3 (pKB of 9.46 for Guinea-pig ileum H3-receptor).

CCK2 (CCK-B) receptor antagonist

Cortodoxone (11-Desoxycortisol) is a glucocorticoid steroid hormone that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of cortisol in the adrenal gland.

Clascoterone (CB-03-01) is a new topical and peripherally selective androgen antagonist.

Abaperidone is a potent 5-HT2A receptor and dopamine D2 receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 6.2 for 5-HT2A receptors and 17 nM for dopamine D2 receptors.Abaperidone is a potentially atypical anti-psychotropic compound that reduces basal hsp70 mRNA expression in rat striatum and prefrontal cortex. expression in the striatum and prefrontal cortex of rats.

Osemozotan HCl (Osemozotan hydrochloride) is a novel and selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist that reduces methamphetamine-induced c-Fos expression in the medial prefrontal cortex and striatum.Osemozotan HCl is used in the study of mechanical abnormalities of pain and depression.

Dalcotidine (KU 1257) is a novel histamine H2 receptor antagonist with histamine H9 receptor antagonistic activity and antisecretory effects.The Ki value for binding to guinea pig cerebral cortex was 0.040 The KB value for antagonism of histamine-induced positive chronotropic responses in the right atrium of isolate guinea pigs was 0.041.Dalcotidine improves the quality of ulcer healing, and may contribute to a reduction in ulcer recurrence and relapse rates.

Dihydro-N-Caffeoyltyramine is a compound extracted from Lycii Cortex that has antioxidant and antifungal activities and can be used to study fungal infections.

Dehydroisoandrosterone 3-acetate (Prasterone acetate) is a primary C19 steroid generated by the adrenal cortex.

Phenytoin (5,5-Diphenylhydantoin) is a hydantoin derivative and a non-sedative antiepileptic agent with anticonvulsant activity. It potentially acts by promoting sodium efflux from neurons in the motor cortex, reducing post-tetanic potentiation at synapses. This prevents cortical seizure foci from spreading to adjacent areas and stabilizes the threshold against hyperexcitability. Additionally, it appears to reduce muscle spindle sensitivity to stretch, causing muscle relaxation.

Mitotane (NCI-C04933) is a derivative of the insecticide DICHLORODIPHENYLDICHLOROETHANE that specifically inhibits cells of the adrenal cortex and their production of hormones. It is used to treat adrenocortical tumors and causes CNS damage, but no bone marrow depression.

Trilostane (Win 24540) is a synthetic androstane derivative with adrenocortical suppressive properties, reversibly inhibiting 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase delta [5-4] isomerase in the adrenal cortex.

Perindopril erbumine (S9490-3) is the tert-butylamine salt of perindopril, the ethyl ester of a non-sulfhydryl angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. Upon hydrolysis, Perindopril erbumine (S9490-3) is converted to its active form perindoprilat, inhibiting ACE and the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; consequently, angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex are inhibited and diuresis and natriuresis ensue.

Adrenosterone (11-ketoandrostenedione) is a steroid hormone isolated from the adrenal cortex.
