Many chemicals can kill cancer cells in vitro. It was reported that patients took aspirin  had lower incidence of cancer. A new modified aspirin (hydrogen sulfate and nitric oxide added) was reported to kill 11 types of cancer cells (lung, colon, panceatic, prostate, and more) in vitro with great increased potency (10000x) as stated (the killing activity of unmodified aspirin in vitro might be quite low). It will be interesting to see whether the modified aspirin can selectively kill tumor cells without harm the normal cells/tissue in vitro and in vivo, a key for cancer treatment. It will be great if it can have good selectivity.
