There is a small possibility if we give a generous read to the 4th edition. The "Unidrug" Universal Antibody/Antidote description details the nanotechnology used in it's creation. To have nanomachnes that can be programmed for cellular and sub-cellular repairs, the Morrow Project must have done a great deal of other research in nanotechnology. To that end, perhaps there is a group of additives that stabilizes explosives and primers by largely encapsulating the reactants in layers of graphine or Buckyballs. Further extrapolation could say that this is also effective for catalyzing the decay of certain medications to an equally slow rate, dictating which medication can be stored and which ones cannot, leading to the development of the Unidrug.
Like I said, takes a leap of imagination, but it lands in the realm of science fiction and not fantasy.
