In that wiki article, it says back in 2004 fda approved pain killer extracted from said snails. The article is reporting 14 year old discoveries.
Edit. Both are talking about the same drug. Reporter digging through Wikipedia for news?

The old discovery has to be injected directly into the brain. This is extremely inconvenient and expensive.
This new research is hoped to work by swallowing or inhaling the drug.
