Cyanide.

It stops the break down of hydrogen peroxide; a toxic metabolic waste. When the hydrogen peroxide accumulates, it can corrode the muscles and tissues in a mammal's body. The enzyme catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Cyanide is the enzyme inhibitor of catalase.

Hope this helps!
