What made you stop looking at a compound you were originally interested in?
Everyone talks about what they added. Less gets said about what came off the list.
Sometimes it is the evidence. You go looking for the human data and find three mouse studies and a forum post. Sometimes it is the opposite, the data is fine but the practical side does not work. Sometimes a better option in the same category showed up and the first one just became redundant.
I am interested in the reasoning more than the compound.
What was it for you, and what actually tipped it? Was it something you read, something you noticed, or just the realization that it was not doing what the writeups said it would?
