It is easier to respond to your query concerning sibutramine than axokine. I will put together my thoughts later (hopefully tonight) on axokine, though you must realize that this is quite a complex issue.

As to sibutramine, I have followed this quite closely. I am a bit surprised that that there is so much excitement in the SEPR camp on this due to the elevated blood pressure and increased heart rate of the drug in the trials performed to date. Can you imagine being obese, with an already elevated blood pressure, and have these "side effects". Of course it is possible that they may have evidence to suggest that the side effects are related to the "off" enantiomer, or that efficacy of the different endpoints (feeding vs. cardiovascular) may be different. Is this so? Do you have any further insight into this? TIA
