Brovincamine also known as brovincamine fumarate (BV, Sabromin) was used in Japan mainly as an improver of cerebral circulation and metabolism, and also as an inhibitor of the aggregation of platelets through the cyclic AMP pathway in patients with normal tension glaucoma. Brovincamine exerts its action via calcium channels blockade. Brovincamine is also a vasodilator.
Carsatrin succinate is the salt form of Carsatin, a purinylpiperazine derivative used as a cardiotonic and antiarrhythmic. Carsatrin acts as positive inotropic agent that increases twitch tension and prolongs the action potential (AP) duration of ventricular muscle without affecting the Na+, K+-ATPase, adenylyl cyclase, phosphodiesterase isozymes, or cardiac myofilaments. Carsatrin’s positive inotropic effect can be prevented by tetrodotoxin but not by the adrenergic antagonists timolol, yohimbine, or prazosin.

Microtubule stabilizing agent. Potent inhibitor of cellular proliferation in cancer cell lines (IC50 reported to be 3-30 nM, dependent on cell line used). Causes cells to arrest in the prometaphase of the cell cycle, prevents formation of bipolar spindle and increases kinetochore tension in preformed spindles.

Tyr-α-CGRP (rat) is an N-terminally tyrosinated analog of the neuropeptide α-CGRP that induces a fall in resting tension of isolated opossum internal anal sphincter (IAS) with an EC50 value of 178 nM.
Hydroxyzine D4 is a deuterium-labeled variation of Hydroxyzine, a chemical compound known for its anticholinergic, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties. It is classified as a heterocyclic histamine H1-receptor antagonist.
