Important drugs have been derived from two plants common in the woodlands of the eastern United States. One is etoposide (an anticancer drug) based on the podophyllotoxin found in Podophyllum peltatum,415 The second is sanguinarine (from Sangulnarla canadensis), which is used for treatment of periodontal disease. A common fence lizard of the western United States, Sceloporus occidentalis, has something in the blood that kills the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease.416...
