Scientists accidentally figured out a cancer-curing medicine. Hydralazine is a medication typically used for high blood pressure. This medicine targets a crucial enzyme that acts as an oxygen sensor. This enzyme steps in and protects cells when oxygen levels are low. Tumor cells can typically survive in lower oxygen environments by using the ADO enzyme. Hydralazine binds to ADO and shuts down the system, stopping the growth of more cancer cells.
