Problem: The NMDA Receptor Paradox

Receptors outside synapses (Extrasynaptic receptors)

  • Pathological activation

  • Pro-death signaling

  • Must be BLOCKED
Receptors inside synapses (Synaptic receptors)
  • Normal brain function
  • Pro-survival signaling

  • Must be PRESERVED

Why Traditional NMDA Blockers Fail?

  • Small molecules diffuse everywhere

  • Cannot distinguish synaptic vs extrasynaptic receptors

  • Block both beneficial and harmful signaling

  • Cause side effects and have limited efficacy

Precision by design

Our nanotherapeutics are just large enough to bypass synaptic clefts yet small enough to be distributed throughout the brain, selectively blocking extrasynaptic NMDA receptors while preserving normal neural communication.

Our Approach: Thinking outside the synapse

Safe, efficient, durable

Our nanotherapeutics are rationally engineered from FDA-approved components to achieve a superior therapeutic window, with safety and efficacy validated in multiple preclinical studies.
