Nicorandil (SG-75)(Ikorel) acts by relaxing the smooth muscle of the blood vessels, especially those of the venous system. It undertakes this through two methods. Firstly, by activating potassium channels, and secondly by donating nitric oxide to activate the enzyme guanylate cyclase. Guanylate cyclase causes activation of cGMP leading to both arterial and venous vasodilatation by de-phosphorylation of the myosin light chain.

Nicorandil N-oxide, a metabolite of nicorandil, functions as an activator of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel Kir6.2 (SUR2B/Kir6.2) and is associated with the sulfonylurea receptor 2B (SUR2B), while also serving as a nitric oxide donor.

SG 209 is an analog of nicorandil and acts as a K+ channel opener and nitrate-free coronary vasodilator.

Quizartinib, also know as AC220 and AC010220, is an orally available FLT3 / STK1 inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Class III receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor AC220 selectively inhibits class III receptor tyrosine kinases, including FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3/STK1), colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R/FMS), stem cell factor receptor (SCFR/KIT), and platelet derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs), resulting in inhibition of ligand-independent leukemic cell proliferation and apoptosis. Mutations in FLT3, resulting in constitutive activation, are the most frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and occur in approximately one-third of AML cases.
