(S)-Remoxipride (REMOXIPRIDE)

FDA-approved withdrawn Small molecule Quality 5/100

Remoxipride, a marketed drug by an unspecified company, binds to the Sigma non-opioid intracellular receptor 1, positioning it uniquely in the market. Its key strength lies in its distinct mechanism of action, differentiating it from competitors like amisulpride, which is patent-protected until March 10, 2031. The primary risk is the key composition patent expiry in 2028, which could lead to increased competition from generics.
