Methicillin sodium salt is the sodium salt form of methicillin, a semisynthetic beta-lactam penicillin antibiotic with beta-lactamase resistant activity.

Rezafungin (SP-3025) is a broad-spectrum and long-lasting echinocandin with potent antifungal activity against Candida, Aspergillus and Pneumocystis.

Remdesivir (GS-5734) is a nucleoside analog, a broad-spectrum antiviral compound that exerts its activity by inhibiting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of viruses. Remdesivir is active against Ebola, SARS, and MERS viruses, and is potentially therapeutic against COVID-19.

Chloroquine is a Toll-like receptor inhibitor that inhibits autophagy. Chloroquine has anti-malarial and anti-inflammatory activity and is widely used in the treatment of malaria and rheumatoid arthritis. Chloroquine also has anti-SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) activity and anti-HIV-1 activity.

Imiquimod (R 837) is an immune response modifier and a toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist with antiviral and antitumor effects. It is used in the study of external genital warts, perianal warts, cancer, and COVID-19, and is commonly employed to induce psoriasis models.

Chloroquine phosphate (Aralen phosphate) is an aminoquinoline antimalarial and also is widely used as an autophagy inhibitor. Chloroquine also is an inhibitor of toll-like receptors (TLRs).

Hexetidine (NSC-17764) is a bactericidal and fungicidal antiseptic. It is used as a 0.1% mouthwash for local infections and oral hygiene.

Ganciclovir (2'-Nor-2'-deoxyguanosine) is an ACYCLOVIR analog that is a potent inhibitor of the Herpesvirus family including cytomegalovirus. Ganciclovir is used to treat complications from AIDS-associated cytomegalovirus infections.

Bithionol (Actamer), formerly marketed as an active ingredient in various topical drug products, was shown to be a potent photosensitizer with the potential to cause serious skin disorders. Approvals of the NDA's for bithionol drug products were withdrawn on October 24, 1967.

Cefmetazole sodium (Sodium cefmetazole) is a semisynthetic cephamycin antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. It demonstrates a high rate of efficacy in various types of infections, and to date, no severe side effects have been noted.

Minocycline hydrochloride (Minocycline HCl) is a tetracycline antibiotic with excellent absorption and tissue penetration that is used for several bacterial infections as well as treatment of acne. Minocycline hydrochloride can cause both an acute hepatitis-like syndrome occurring within 1 to 3 months of starting therapy or a more insidious chronic hepatitis with autoimmune features typically after long-term treatment.

HCV-IN-29 is an inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Rifaximin is an orally administered, semi-synthetic, nonsystemic antibiotic derived from rifamycin SV with antibacterial activity. Rifaximin binds to the beta-subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis and bacterial cell growth.

HCV-IN-30 is an HCV NS5A replication complex inhibitor (IC50s: 901 and 102 nM for genotypes 1a and 1b replicons).

Ceftazidime (GR20263) is a beta-lactam, cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity.

Nitrofurantoin (Furadantine), an antibiotic, inhibits bacterial DNA, RNA, and cell wall protein synthesis. Activated by bacterial flavoproteins to intermediates that inactivate bacterial ribosomal proteins, Nitrofurantoin is used prophylactically as a urinary anti-infective agent against most gram-positive and gram-negative organisms and for long-term suppression of infections.

Imipenem monohydrate (Imipenem) is a carbapenem antibiotic isolated from the microorganism Streptomyces cattleya, and is a β lactam antibiotic. Imipenem monohydrate acts on the bacterial cell wall, and is a broadly effective inhibitor of a wide range of Gram-positive and negative bacteria.

Acetylspiramycin (Spiramycin B) targets 50S ribosome to inhibit protein synthesis.

Lopinavir (ABT-378) is a peptidomimetic HIV protease inhibitor effective against HIV protease with the Val 82 mutation. It is less affected by serum protein binding compared to the structurally related drug ritonavir.

Lomefloxacin hydrochloride (Okacyn) inhibits DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase involved in the induction or relaxation of supercoiling during DNA replication. This inhibition leads to a decrease in DNA synthesis during bacterial replication, resulting in cell growth inhibition and eventually cell lysis. Lomefloxacin Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of lomefloxacin, a synthetic broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone with antibacterial activity.

Adefovir dipivoxil (GS 0840) is a dipivoxil formulation of adefovir, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor analog of adenosine with activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV), herpes virus, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Chloramphenicol palmitate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Chloramphenicol palmitate can be used in studies about acting as a bacterial selection agent in transformed cells containing chloramphenicol resistance genes.

Ganciclovir sodium (Cytovene IV sodium) is the sodium salt of Ganciclovir with antiviral activity, especially against cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).

Silver sulfadiazine (Dermazin) is a sulfonamide-based topical agent with antibacterial and antifungal activity.
