Hello George. There is no denying that the BPI molecule is intriguing but it would be negligent to not discuss possible problems with this compound. The problem of BPI administration within a certain time frame may be an issue. While I am not aware of what this time frame is when applied to human patients, animal studies indicate that the sooner the BPI is administered, the better.

Additionally, how effectively BPI neutralizes endotoxins may also be an issue. If BPI does not completely (100%) inactivate the endotoxins within the patient, does this not present an avenue for any remaining endotoxins to carry out their harmful effects?
