Oral mucositis is becoming known as an important medical problem. George Soros recently (5/4/15) took a big position in PlasmaTech Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (PTBI) (see Yahoo Finance Profile below) which markets MuGard for oral mucositis and ProctiGard for radiation proctitis. Check its chart for May. In my opinion, he took an interest in the wrong company. Brilacidin-OM has more potential. MuGard is not so much a drug as just a mix of common ingredients.

MuGard Ingredients: Purified water, glycerin, benzyl alcohol,
sodium saccharin, Carbomer Homopolymer A,
potassium hydroxide, citric acid, polysorbate 60 and
phosphoric acid.

Brilacidin-OM can possibly be used for radiation proctitis (notice the similarity with ulcerative proctitis - it does exist! - see Ulcerative proctitis).

Many uses for Brilacidin - OM in the future: oral mucositis, radiation proctitis, ulcerative proctitis, ?ulcerative colitis, ?Crohn's disease
