The article starts by saying that bufotoxins are steroid lactones (i.e., bufadienolides), but then counts tryptamine derivatives and other amines (epinephrine, norepinephrine) in as well. A PubMed search seems to support only the first use of the term, but I don't want to delete (more or less) half of the article without further input. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 20:21, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
