Breakthrough cancer super-drug can also be used to beat ebola and HIV | Science | News | Daily Express

'A NEWLY developed drug for cancer has the potential to kill superbugs and also beat deadly viruses such as HIV and ebola, it has been revealed.

The breakthrough cancer therapy could be a “universal” therapy against flu and has the ability to destroy bacteria which has been failed by traditional medicines.

Scientists behind the discovery say that the drug works by hurting the engine of viruses and cancers in cells while not affecting the rest of the body.

The drug, known as AR-12, is now being brought to the UK by a pharmaceutical company for clinical trials against HIV.

AR-12 also has the backing of the US army who plan to incorporate it in a project that will see the drug used as a last resort against against viruses such as ebola.'
