Count on it. There probably is already a company well along testing new patentable drugs based on this work long before it got published. Having a friend doing basic research at a university its all too often that lab directors (or friends of)have fingers in startups that coincidently develop products similar to the research from that director's lab.
Yeah, we'll see them and they will cost much more than benzo's. The greater safety is excellent for FDA approval and getting HMOs to pay the much higher prices. Pmeds are good profit makers for drug companies. High prices can be gotten away with because its still less expensive than hours and hours of therapy for a HMO.
