Sounds promising, but there are downsides to venom derived drugs.
There is Byetta, a reptile (gila monster) venom derivation= pancreatitis for diabetes. the ziconotide mentioned in the article causes psychosis in enough people to discourage its use --which needs an implantable device to pump the drug into the spine. Lisinopril is one of several ACE drugs derived from S.American snake venom... causes severe reactions in people --myself included. Here is an interesting link that goes into more detail about venom derived drugs: http://www.bachem.com/research-produ...y-with-venoms/ These peptides appear to be complex and have side effects more so than traditional drugs we currently use.
