🔹 Indian scientists develop RK-251, a drug designed to activate only inside cancer cells and spare healthy cells
🔹 How it works: High ROS levels in cancer cells trigger RK-251 to release "NBDHEX", which blocks proteins cancer cells use to survive
🔹 Preclinical results: Strong activity against aggressive triple-negative breast cancer cells, minimal impact on healthy cells
🔹 Zebrafish embryo tests showed no toxicity + fluorescence in presence of ROS, indicating safety potential
🔹 Goal: Replace traditional chemotherapy that damages both cancer + healthy cells
