Omg, from the poison dart frog wikipedia "Chemicals extracted from the skin of Epipedobates tricolor may have medicinal value. [...] One such chemical is a painkiller 200x as potent as morphine, called epibatidine; however, the therapeutic dose is very close to the fatal dose."

From a South American frog to a Russian penal colony: How the poison epibatidine killed Navalny
This extremely powerful neurotoxin is secreted by a frog native to Ecuador. Although Western scientists discovered it in the 19th century, it wasn't synthesized until the 1990s. The neurotoxin appears to have particularly interested the Russian research institute responsible for synthesizing Novichok agents, used in poisonings.
