Drugs targeting NLGN1 would modulate synaptic adhesion by either enhancing or blocking the neuroligin-neurexin interaction at the postsynaptic membrane, thereby regulating synapse formation, stabilization, and synaptic transmission. Indirect modulators may enhance GABAergic signaling or vasopressin-mediated pathways that influence neuroligin-dependent synaptic maturation and plasticity.

Drugs targeting IGF2R typically work by blocking IGF2 binding and signaling through the IGF1R/IGF2R axis, thereby inhibiting mitogenic and anti-apoptotic effects in cancer cells. Alternatively, agents may enhance IGF2 clearance through IGF2R-mediated endocytosis to reduce circulating IGF2 levels and downstream signaling.
