    its structure, it’s like 4 steps from widely available building blocks, all routine things (amide couplings, one palladium coupling or SNAr)

      depending on how you count, even less than 4 steps all starting materials are commercially available and probably pretty cheap

      i’m not gonna talk down a molecule that’s easy to make, but there may be room for modifications, should it be discovered that these are beneficial. this may or may not make synthesis a little bit harder or more expensive but at any rate not impossible
