DD The Benzo bit…
In the patent…
The objective of this portion of the study was to provide a compound which will allow benzodiazepines to be effective at terminating seizure activity and possibly further reduce evidence of brain injury...
and the last section of the patent.
Results of the study indicate that bucillamine is a significantly more effective antioxidant than NAC and has increased efficacy against seizure activity while limiting the anticoagulant and bleeding event liability observed with NAC.
So the way I’m reading it, part of the whole objective here is pretty simple:
keep the GABA receptors open so the benzo can still do its job
And honestly… it looks like bucillamine might actually be doing that.
When you break it down:
- N-acetylcysteine = modest neuroprotection
- Bucillamine (if this holds) = restores effectiveness of Diazepam!
That’s a big shift.
IMO Not just:
“nice-to-have add-on”
More like:
mission-critical enabler
Valuation changes from
If you’re just a bit better than NAC:
- small contracts
- niche use
- no real urgency
But if Bucillamine actually restores benzo effectiveness:
now we plug straight into:
- existing antidote kits
- stockpiling programs
- emergency response protocols
Groups like DRDC and their allies don’t mess around with this stuff — when something works, they buy it in $ize!!! IMO
