Neurotrope is a front for old money and connected folk. They are trying to commercialize a very OLD drug that has not been taken forward because it needs to be synthesized as the natural version is too rare. Most, if not all of the research on this drug has been paid for by the U.S. government.
Shortly after this was posted the Pump and Dump I prophesied was realized and a great deal of retail money was taken out of the U.S. market, minimizing the risk of the founding stockholders.
Retail will continue to get the short end of the stick here to the bitter end. I will not invest in this company because I know how it ends... If the science is not successful the company goes broke and retail will be the bagholder. If it is successful read to the end of this post to find the outcome.
I will continue to add to this research as time permits.
This drug is owned by old money "non profit" institutions. These are the two most prominent in the story:
The initial investors have been selling stock to recoup their initial cost of funding the company on price spikes and replenishing it with warrants.
I am not convinced that treating Alzheimer's is the primary goal of Neurotrope. It is also not clear that people who buy stock in NTRP will be the primary beneficiaries if the company is successful. I suspect it will be the founding stockholders who have probably already made most of their "investment" back by selling at higher prices.
I am also not sure if there is solid protection for the IP as with proof of concept someone might design a new synthetic chemical that could do it all better. They have patents but I don't know how enforceable they would be against a newly designed chemical.
I think Anavex may draw the ire of NTRP proponents because 2-73 achieves the same goal of neurogenesis with a chemical that clearly does not fall under their IP umbrella. I also believe we will be on the market sooner with a drug that is much more economical than theirs making their franchise worthless....
