Can the advancements that are being made to Semax be applied to Oxytocin?

Semax -> N-Acetyl Semax -> N-Acetyl Semax Amidate(possibly)
I have no clue about anything peptide wise and it is something that just came to mind.
Oxytocin -> N-Acetyl Oxytocin -> N-Acetyl Oxytocin Amidate
Just curious. Have never tried Oxytocin myself and was never really too interested because of it's lack of ability to cross the BBB and the short half-life. If advancements could be made I would be more interested.
Edit: Or any thoughts on WAY-267,464

If everyone in the world had a bit more oxytocin activation, we probably would not have as many wars and fighting.
Oxytocin is also linked to in-group out-group discrimination and intensifying negative emotional memories. It's hardly as cut and dry as that.
Classical psychedelics also frequently induce universal love. Not sure if there's any link to oxytocin, or just generic 5-HT agonism.

Yes, I was simplifying the situation. It's never as clear cut and dry as we would like it to be. The brain is complex, so it stands that the causal relationship of love would be too. However, I do think that if everyone did MDMA in a proper setting at least once in their lives, that we would all be a little bit better to each other.
