NTIIC continues to be a topic of discussion on the Neurex thread.

Dr. John M. de Castro responds to NeuroInvestment:

> 2) If you want something genuine to worry about, look for the release of the
neuropathic pain Phase II data from the Neurobiological Technologies memantine trial,
due out late Jan/early Feb. While I expect memantine to have less magnitude of effect,
it is given orally and thus is a lot cheaper and easier to utilize. If successful, NTI would
push a Phase III partnership ASAP, since they are near bankrupt.It could be a
competitor for the mild-moderate range of neuropathic pain patients.

Now here I agree with you. NTII is in a great position because they are addressing the
really huge neuropathic pain market. NXCO is only addressing a relatively small niche
market. The reason to suspect that memantine will be less potent is because it is a
noncompetitive NMDA antagonist. This is actually good. It maybe slightly less potent.
But, it has a proven record of safety with humans for over 15 years.

I own NTIIC stock and do not own NXCO. So take my self serving comments for
what they are worth.
