Lots of medicines are found in nature. But why? What do these chemicals do for the organisms we find them in? The answer is often surprising. Like trabectedin, a chemotherapy drug made by a sea squirt. Or eptifibatide, a blood thinner derived from snake venom. Or ziconotide, a pain killer made by a sea snail.
