Candesartan cilexetil
Candesartan is an angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) that may be used alone or with other agents to treat hypertension. It is administered orally as the prodrug, candesartan cilexetil, which is rapidly converted to its active metabolite, candesartan, during absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Candesartan lowers blood pressure by antagonizing the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone...

Lenalidomide
Lenalidomide (previously referred to as CC-5013) is an immunomodulatory drug with potent antineoplastic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a 4-amino-glutamyl analogue of thalidomide and like thalidomide, lenalidomide exists as a racemic mixture of the active S(-) and R(+) forms. However, lenalidomide is much safer and potent than thalidomide, with...

Fosphenytoin
Fosphenytoin is a water-soluble phenytoin prodrug used only in hospitals for the treatment of epileptic seizures. It works by slowing down impulses in the brain that cause seizures. Its main mechanism is to block frequency-dependent, use-dependent and voltage-dependent neuronal sodium channels, and therefore limit repetitive firing of action potentials.

Pipotiazine
Pipotiazine has actions similar to those of other phenothiazines. Among the different phenothiazine derivatives, it appears to be less sedating and to have a weak propensity for causing hypotension or potentiating the effects of CNS depressants and anesthetics. However, it produces a high incidence of extra pyramidal reactions. It is...

Nirogacestat
Nirogacestat is a small-molecule gamma-secretase inhibitor that was investigated as a potential treatment for desmoid tumors. Desmoid tumors are typically characterized by aberrant activation in Notch signaling. Interaction between the notch receptors and their ligands activates proteolytic cleavage by gamma-secretase; therefore, the inhibition of gamma-secretase can potentially inhibit Notch signaling...
