Im making a drug that aims to increase nr2b subunits levels on the surface of neurons, (therefor nmda receptors) in many brain areas that govern memory, learning, focus and recall. Technically ive started synthesis but its a while away yet, like 3months away. Research NR2B and you'll be excited. Headstart: doogie mice.
Im using peptides and polysaccharides that occur naturally, so, its at least kinda safe lol. Ofc nmda, and nr2b in particular can cause neural death. So, we'll try to avoid it. Using Davunetide seems best. And deferoxamine most likely.
as it happens there is a protein that forms the nmda receptor which allows for ions to travel past the membrane for a longer period of time which allows for neurons to engage in certain bandwidths of activity for a longer period of time allowing for information processing in the Cortex to occur more reliably and to a Greater extent this is the nr2b receptor and there will be things available to improve its function to improve learning of many different kinds and theoretically iq due to the dependency on sustained activity. There are peptides small molecules and soon-to-be RNA molecules and conjugates that hopefully will be great at safely increasing the function of this receptor and there are things at the moment which of very very expensive but soon I hear that a peptide will be made to help modulate this receptor and it could be cheap.
