Scientists are saying that ecstasy-an illegal drug largely connected with hardcore

clubgoers-can actually treat several forms of cancer.? However, a market-ready

medication doctors can prescribe to patients may take another ten years to develop.

?This is an exciting next step,? said Professor John Gordon, lead author of a ground-

breaking study on the topic.? ?Where we?ve tested these new compounds, we can wipe

out 100% of the cancer cells in some cases.?? Birmingham University researchers first

discovered the unlikely link between the illegal substance and a viable therapy for

common blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma in 2006. Additional

research produced an atomically tweaked version of ecstasy?s active compound,

MDMA, which bolsters the drug?s cancer-fighting power 100-fold in test tubes.? The

original 2006 study found a fatally large dose of MDMA would be needed to make a

dent in the disease. But the Birmingham team, toiling for five years along with

scientists from The University of Western Australia, found a way to maximize

MDMA?s cancer-fighting properties, while minimizing its toxic effect on the brain.

This is how it works: The drug attaches itself to the fat in diseased cells, weakening

the membrane and making them ?soapy.?? The cancer cells are then essentially

washed away, Gordon said.? The news is ?genuinely exciting,? said Dr. David Grant,

director of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Research charity.? ?Further work is re-

quired but this research is a significant step forward in developing a potential new

cancer drug,? he said.
