Answer:

Please see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Shikonin is a natural drug used in the wise traditional Chinese medicine to treat inflammatory diseases. Its use as an anti-cancer drug has been recently discovered. It affects the concentration of calcium ions and ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) which induces a loss of function in the cancerous cell mitochondria. This deprives the cancer cell of the needed energy to function.
