4-Nonylphenol polyethoxylate (Nonoxinol-9) is a typical surfactant used as a vaginal spermicide. Spermicides are locally acting non-hormonal contraceptives. When present in the vagina during intercourse, they immobilize/inactivate/damage and/or kill sperms without eliciting systemic effects. 4-Nonylphenol polyethoxylate has been in use for more than 30 years as an over-the-counter (OTC) drug in creams, gels, foams and condom lubricants. It is the most commonly used spermicidal contraceptive in the UK and the USA. In several European countries, spermicides are no longer on the market.

Lotrifen (Privaprol), an agent of non-hormonal antifertility, causes the arrest and involution of pregnancy. It acts, after the implantation of the blastocyst, directly on the product of conception, which undergoes a slow and gradual degenerative process and ends with the reabsorption or expulsion of it.

Cabergoline (FCE-21336) is an ergot derived-dopamine D2-like receptor agonist. It has high affinity for D2, D3, and 5-HT2B receptors (Ki=0.7, 1.5, and 1.2, respectively).Cabergoline permits rapid and effective hormonal and tumor control by normalizing prolactin-producing pituitary adenomas levels.

Nilutamide (RU23908), an antineoplastic hormonal agent, is mainly used in the treatment of prostate Y. Nilutamide is a pure, nonsteroidal anti-androgen with affinity for androgen receptors, but not for estrogen, progestogen, or glucocorticoid receptors. Therefore, Nilutamide can block the action of androgens of testicular and adrenal origin that stimulate the growth of malignant and normal prostatic tissue. Prostate Y is mainly androgen-dependent and can be treat with chemical castration or surgical. So far, antiandrogen monotherapy has not consistently been certified to be equivalent to castration.

3-Iodothyronamine is derived from the deiodination and decarboxylation of endogenous thyroxine. It activates the G protein-coupled receptor known as trace amine-associated receptor 1 at nanomolar concentrations whereupon it rapidly influences thyroid hormone actions including body temperature, heart rate, and cardiac output. It has also been reported to function in controlling lipid and glucose utilization, hormonal secretion, and neuronal function, and has been considered for use in chemically-induced hibernation for medical purposes.

Ospemifene (FC-1271a) is a new selective non-hormonal estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that is used for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia, a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, due to menopause. FDA approved on February 26, 2013.

Cyproterone acetate (Cyproterone 17-O-acetate) binds the androgen receptor (AR), thereby preventing androgen-induced receptor activation in target tissues and inhibiting the growth of testosterone-sensitive tumor cells. Cyproterone acetate is the acetate salt of a synthetic steroidal antiandrogen with weak progestational and antineoplastic activities. This agent also exerts progestational agonist properties at the level of the pituitary that reduce luteinizing hormone (LH), resulting in reductions in testicular androgen secretion and serum testosterone levels. Treatment with cyproterone alone results in incomplete suppression of serum testosterone levels.Cyproterone binds the androgen receptor (AR), thereby preventing androgen-induced receptor activation in target tissues and inhibiting the growth of testosterone-sensitive tumor cells.

Wnt signaling is required for direct multiple biological processes and also plays key roles in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) is a transcription factor that is a member of the leucine zipper family of DNA binding proteins. This protein binds as a homodimer to the cAMP-responsive element, an octameric palindrome. The protein is phosphorylated by several protein kinases, and induces transcription of genes in response to hormonal stimulation of the cAMP pathway. Via generating a transcriptionally active complex with β-catenin, CREB acts as a mediator of Wnt signaling.ICG-001 is an inhibitor of β-catenin/CREB mediated transcription. The direct cellular target of ICG-001 is CREB. the inhibitory IC50of ICG-001 against β-catenin/CREB mediated transcription was 3 μM. ICG-001 treatment at the concentration of 25 μM for 24h significantly increased caspase activity in both colon cancer cell lines SW480 and HCT116 cell lines but not in normal colonic epithelial cells CCD-841Co. In a cell growth inhibition assay, the IC50s of ICG-001 against SW480 and HCT116 cells were 4.43 μM and 5.95 μM, respectively.In a SW620 nude mouse xenograft model, an water-soluble analog of ICG-001 given at the dose of 150 mg/kg i.v. once in every 2 days dramatically suppressed tumor growth. In a bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice model, ICG-001 given at the dose of 5 mg/kg per day reversed pulmonary fibrosis. In a rat myocardial infarction model, ICG-001 was administrated subcutaneously at the dose of 50 mg/kg/day for 10 days which significantly improved cardiac contractile function after myocardial infarction in the rats.

Endoxifen, also known as N-desmethyl-4-hydroxytamoxifen, is a chemical that is under development for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. It is also being evaluated as an antipsychotic for treatment of mania and other psychotic disorders. Endoxifen is a nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) of the triphenylethylene group. It is an active metabolite of tamoxifen and has been found to be effective in patients that have failed previous hormonal therapies (tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, and fulvestrant). The prodrug tamoxifen is metabolized by the CYP2D6 enzyme to produce afimoxifene (4-hydroxytamoxifen) and endoxifen.
