There have been fears of Cerestat side effects mitigating against emergency room use for head trauma. Memantine has been used in other countries, including Germany, for many years and does not carry this side-effect fear.

Dr. Gilla Kaplan of Rockefeller University gave an excellent interview which may still be web-accessible on the mechanism of development of AIDS dementia, the indication NTII is pursuing.

NTII has several other assets -- corticotropin-releasing factor and dynorphin A under development, and a very low cash burn rate due to a "virtual company" business model in which they spend the minimum on staffing and housing themselves.

Consideration of NTII's other assets perhaps balances the equation that CNSI may have a development lead with Cerestat. However, NTII is only valued at 25% of CNSI's level (9/27 close). NTII had a market cap of $31million; CNSI was at $125!
