I mean in fairness we still use nitroglycerine for some heart ailments, so chemo - a field filled with horrific chemicals - having an explosive shouldn't be too

  The surprising part is that it’s been around since the 1970s and someone has only just gotten around to discovering this.

    Its dosage as a drug is in the milligrams range, and in that form it will be combined with many times more inert filler material, so I suspect it could simply be because a sufficiently large amount of it has never been subjected to enough energy to produce an actual explosion. The discovery is the opposite of nitroglycerin, whose explosive properties (and the production of massive amounts) were discovered before its medicinal ones.
