Look at that molecular structure. Incredible.

Two amide bonds, a completely unremarkable aryl ether and an unsubstituted naphthalene ring system. No fussy weird metals or bonds that need pampering, no chiral carbon atom in sight.

You could probably pay someone a very modest amount of money to end up with kilograms of this stuff, and it would probably not degrade at all under ambient conditions.

I wouldn't be surprised if we soon see desperate, sick, rich people try this out on themselves, skipping FDA approval.

Beautiful, uplifting news. Let's hope the clinical trials proceed without issue.
