JDTic as well as other agents that induce JNK activation may restore axonal neuropathy and neuronal polarity.
JNK activation is a potent activator of axonogenesis. JNK is activated in a potent manner by JDTic.

"Long-acting kappa opioid antagonists disrupt receptor signaling and produce noncompetitive effects by activating c-Jun N-terminal kinase."
Notably, JNK activation as per the above is responsible for the potent and long-acting disruption/corruption of KOR/KOR signalling. This is shared by some other KOR antagonists, but not by all.
Notably, axonal damage(neuropathy) may be the main factor within the long-acting neurological damage that is relatively prevalent with MDMA usage, as well as a factor in other neurodegenerative states.
