Brilacidin used for drugs is a small molecule.

If you bond the structure together to make a long chain, it becomes a polymer, and it is these that were mentioned as possibilities for use in paints, plastics, textiles, and other commercial products to make such products anti-microbial.

Whether these become reality one day remains to be seen but it is exciting to consider them possibilities for further expansion of the Brilacidin platform.

Bandages, clothing, hair/beard guards, airplane/train/bus seats and other surfaces,implant devices, stadium/movie seating, catheters, counter tops in hospitals as well as a myriad other surfaces, school desks and a myriad other school surfaces, paint in hospitals and other rooms where germs could be spread, medical instruments, food containers, maybe plastic wrap, and an unlimited number of other uses.

I thought IPIX gave back a number of products to U of PA; hope B in a polymer form wasn't among them.
