Procaine (Vitamin H3) is a local anesthetic of the ester type that has a slow onset and a short duration of action. It is mainly used for infiltration anesthesia, peripheral nerve block, and spinal block.

Procaine hydrochloride (Novocaine HCl) is the hydrochloride salt form of procaine, a benzoic acid derivative with local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic properties. Procaine binds to and inhibits voltage-gated sodiumchannels, thereby inhibiting the ionic flux required for the initiation and conduction of impulses. In addition, this agent increases electrical excitation threshold, reduces rate of rise of action potential and slows nerve impulse propagation thereby causing loss of sensation.

Mivacurium dichloride (Mivacurium chloride) is a non-depolarising, rapid neuromuscular blocker of short duration, used therefore as anesthetic, to provide skeletal muscle relaxation in minor surgical operations, in emergency surgical procedures of short to intermediate duration and during intubation of the trachea.

MRS-1706 has Ki values of 1.39, 112, 157, and 230 nM for human A2B, A2A, A1, and A3 receptors respectively. MRS-1706 is an effective and selective adenosine A2B receptor inverse agonist.

1. Oxypeucedanin ((+-)-Oxypeucedanin) has novel anticancer effect, mediated via induction of G2-M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells. 2. Oxypeucedanin is a kind of open-channel blocker of the hKv1.5 channel and it prolongs the APD; therefore, it is an excellent candidate as an antiarrhythmic drug for atrial fibrillation.

Rosuvastatin calcium (ZD4522) , a selective and competitive inhibitor of hepatic hydroxymethyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, has antilipidemic activity.

Rosuvastatin (ZD4522) is an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) (IC50=11 nM), selective and competitive. Rosuvastatin has hypolipidemic and antiatherosclerotic effects.

Tribromoethyl alcohol (Avertin) is an organic compound used to anesthetize mice. This product also provides a ready to use version without the need for preparation, with better stability and repeatability. Ready To Use Tribromoethanol: C0183 1.25% Avertin (Anesthesia For Mice) and C0184 2.5% Avertin (Anesthesia For Rat).

GW-311616 hydrochloride is a long duration, orally bioavailable, and selective human neutrophil elastase (HNE) inhibitor (IC50: 22 nM; Ki: 0.31 nM).

Soquinolol (Soquinolol mucate) is a beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist with weak local anesthetic activity.Soquinolol has good enteral efficacy and a long duration of action.

AZD 7009 is a novel antiarrhythmic compound that inhibits the sodium current of hNav1.5 in CHO K1 cells with an IC50 of 11 uM. AZD 7009 inhibited late sodium current in isolated rabbit atrial and ventricular myocytes, and prolonged E-4031-induced action potential duration, promoting early post-depolarization of Purkinye fibers (EADs).

Mephenesin (Cresoxydiol) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant with a short duration of action.

Pyridostigmine bromide (Mestinon) is a cholinesterase inhibitor with a slightly longer duration of action than NEOSTIGMINE. It is used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the actions of muscle relaxants.

Butamben (Butyl 4-aminobenzoate) is a long-duration local anesthetic used for the treatment of chronic pain.

Lidocaine hydrochloride (Lignocaine hydrochloride) is a local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmic agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.

Tropicamide (Ro 1-7683) is a synthetic muscarinic antagonist with anticholinergic properties similar to atropine. Upon ocular administration, it binds to and blocks muscarinic receptors in the sphincter and ciliary muscles, inhibiting cholinergic responses and causing pupil dilation and ciliary muscle paralysis. Tropicamide is used as a diagnostic agent to induce short-duration mydriasis and cycloplegia.

Torsemide (AC-4464) is an anilinopyridine sulfonylurea belonging to the class of loop diuretics. Torsemide has a prolonged duration of action compared to other loop diuretics, is extensively protein bound in plasma and has a relatively long half-life.

Lacidipine (SN-305) is a lipophilic dihydropyridine calcium antagonist with an intrinsically slow onset of activity. Due to its long duration of action, lacidipine does not lead to reflex tachycardia. It displays specificity in the vascular smooth muscle, where it acts as an antihypertensive agent to dilate peripheral arterioles and reduce blood pressure.

Amiodarone hydrochloride is an anti-anginal agent and a class III antiarrhythmic drug that inhibits potassium channels (including wild-type hERG channels and their tail currents, with an IC₅₀ of approximately 45 nM) as well as voltage-gated sodium channels. This leads to prolonged action potential duration in ventricular and atrial myocytes, resulting in reduced heart rate and vascular resistance. It activates ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways in fibroblasts, promoting cell proliferation and myofibroblast differentiation. Amiodarone hydrochloride is widely used in the study of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias and can also be used to establish pulmonary fibrosis animal models.

Levobupivacaine is an amino-amide local anaesthetic drug belonging to the family of n-alkylsubstituted pipecoloxylidide. It is the S-enantiomer of bupivacaine. Levobupivacaine hydrochloride is commonly marketed by AstraZeneca under the trade name Chirocaine. Compared to bupivacaine, levobupivacaine is associated with less vasodilation and has a longer duration of action. It is approximately 13 per cent less potent (by molarity) than racemic bupivacaine.Levobupivacaine is indicated for local anaesthesia including infiltration, nerve block, ophthalmic, epidural and intrathecal anaesthesia in adults; and infiltration analgesia in children. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are rare when it is administered correctly. Most ADRs relate to administration technique (resulting in systemic exposure) or pharmacological effects of anesthesia, however allergic reactions can rarely occur.

Fluorogestone acetate shows high potency with a short duration of activity and is physiologically similar to progesterone. FGA is approximately 20-25 times more potent than progesterone.

Bilastine (Bilaxten) is a novel new-generation antihistamine that is highly selective for the H1 histamine receptor, has a rapid onset and prolonged duration of action.

Amifampridine (3,4-Diaminopyridine) is primarily used to treat rare muscle diseases. It blocks potassium channel efflux in nerve terminals, increasing action potential duration, which allows Ca2+ channels to remain open longer and enhances acetylcholine release to stimulate muscles at the end plate.
