Talk:P57 (glycoside)

A fact from P57 (glycoside) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 July 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that P57, a steroidal glycoside isolated from the African cactiform Hoodia gordonii, is believed to be the active chemical constituent responsible for the appetite suppressant activity of Hoodia extracts?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/July.

Is this still in development phase or is it currently marketed and used in products?

The article Bushmen#Hoodia traditional knowledge agreement states that P57 has not yet been marketed, but surely that's no longer true? Is P57 not the hoodia ingredient one hears about in appetite suppressant products? Would someone familiar please respond, and ideally update both that and this article to note if there are now products featuring this ingredient?
