2005, the original antithrombotic drug Monafram (ruciromab), the first Russian antiplatelet drug from the platelet IIb-IIIa glycoprotein inhibitors and the first Russian drug based on monoclonal antibodies that was approved for clinical practice (A.V. Mazurov, T.N. Vlasik, D.V. Pevzner, I.I. Staroverov, M.Y. Ruda), and is successfully used for the prevention of thrombosis in coronary angioplasty with a high risk of thrombotic complications.

2009, a new anti-inflammatory drug Ingramon was created (T.L.Krasnikova, Zh.P. Bespalova), the Ingramon-Depo is being developed now (T.I. Arefieva, M.V. Sidorova, M.V. Ovchinnikov), its clinical trials will be conducted in the Department of Outpatient Diagnostic and Treatment Technologies under the guidance of F.T. Ageev and A.G. Ovchinnikov.

2012, a new original antiarrhythmic drug Refralon was created (S.P. Golitsin, L.V. Rozenshtrauh) for the pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation and flutter of various etiologies and forms (paroxysmal, persistent, permanent). The drug has no analogues in the world, surpasses all available foreign (dofetilide, sotalol) and Russian (nibentan) class III antiarrhythmic drugs in the ability to prevent and suppress atrial fibrillation, and is not inferior to cardioversion in the effectiveness of stopping atrial fibrillation. A tablet form of Refralon has been created for the prevention of atrial fibrillation, which undergoes clinical trials.

Since 2012, clinical trials of genetically engineered drugs Upicor and Corvian (E.V. Parfenova, V.A. Tkachuk, Yu.A. Karpov) have been conducted for the treatment of critical lower limb ischemia.

Currently, new drugs are being developed: endothelioprotector for reperfusion tissue damage, decongestant PIK-7 (V.P. Shirinsky, M.V. Sidorova, V.I. Kapelko, O.I. Pisarenko, E.V. Parfenova ), peptide modulators for the treatment of heart failure Methilin and Galanin (O.I. Pisarenko, V.I. Kapelko, M.V. Sidorova), a genetically engineered drug for the treatment of acute and chronic thrombosis Plasmin (R.Sh. Bibilashvili), aptamer RE31-PEG to prevent venous thrombosis (A.V. Dobrovolsky, A.V. Mazurov). The laboratory of drug toxicology (E.V. Arzamastsev) takes an active part in the development of drugs and the preclinical assessment of their safety (prourokinase, Refralon, Upicor, Oxaсom, Ingramon-Depo, PIK-7, Methylin, Plasmin, aptamer RE31-PEG).
