On 104, composition of matter is not attainable and they have filed for a use patent.

It is even worse. In PNAS 11/03, Merck wrote:

Altogether, our observations provide direct evidence that the brain penetrant metabolite N-desmethylclozapine is a potent, allosteric agonist at human M1 receptors and is able to potentiate hippocampal NMDA receptor currents through M1 receptor activation. These observations raise the possibility that N-desmethylclozapine contributes to clozapine's clinical activity in schizophrenics through modulation of both muscarinic and glutamatergic neurotransmission.

So, aside from all the hair on the lead programs like uncertain IP, complex clinical strategy, ultimate use as adjunct medicines...how about the earlier programs? They look ok.
