As an FDA-cleared product with an established safety record in open wound settings, these in vitro results support further testing in vivo. Furthermore, several tests (including VZV, HSV 1/2, PrV, X-MulLV, and SARS-COV2) were conducted on both MTP Gel and MTP Powder with comparable results, suggesting that further formulation work (e.g., nasal spray, inhalable powder or aerosol, ophthalmic solution) is reasonable.

Enveloped viruses, or viruses with lipid bilayer membranes on the outer part of the virus, are responsible for some of the most common infections known to mankind. while infections resulting from enveloped viruses are typically less severe than non-enveloped relatives, enveloped viruses are responsible for some of the deadliest epidemics and pandemics in human history.
