Structure of this drug looks veeerrry familiar:

Wonder what the long aliphatic tail does...
I wonder if this is going to be a $100 drug like lamivudine or a $100,000 drug like some other specialized antivirals.
They’re poaching it so they can patent it and make bank on it. That what you are thinking?
Sounds familiar.
