certain randomly generated compound is very unlikely to happen with
the tool used, and such factors are actually what make drug discovery
process difficult.
Using Swiss, one can specifically select the option to target human
DNA and then generate and enter a compound to the program to see
what effects it will have on certain enzymes and how it may or may not
inhibit what receptors. And this was exactly what was done for this
compound as well. While there was a huge effort to see a high efficacy
rate for inhibiting the most important receptor(s) specifically related to
a certain disease, only the mentioned compound was successful in that
process. The program automatically generates the related proteins
which the compound may act on and shows the effectiveness on them.
Results and Critical Discussion
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a newly discovered
anti androgen compound (pentabromo-dicyclohexane) which
has a very high potential of being used as a medicine to treat
prostate cancer and reduce the symptoms of cancer. The
molecule has been discovered based on the Target predictor
tool, Swiss, which is an online software used for drug discovery
trials. It is evidenced in this paper why this compound will work
better than any other drugs available to treat cancer based on
statistical and enzymatic target binding activities.
The results obtained by entering this compound into the software to
obtain its effects on enzymatic receptors were the followings together
with its Chemical structure [2]:

Mechanism of Action of Anti-androgens
Androgen receptor inhibitors reduce or eliminate symptoms of
prostate cancer by inhibiting Androgen receptors [1]. The main
advantage of this new compound is that it does not block any other
receptors except androgen, and therefore it is very specific. Also
another advantage of it in terms of its mechanism of inhibition is that
its inhibition efficacy is about 90%, and therefore it would be a very
efficient anti-cancer drug for prostate cancer and related diseases. Also
when compared to other anti-Androgen drugs, this drug has a
different and better enzalutamide activity.
Materials and Methods
While searching for a potential compound that may be used in the
treatment of cancer in one of the trials, there has been a very high
statistical efficacy rate (about 90%) that they tried molecule actually
specifically binds only to androgen receptors and inhibit them. Such a
compound would be effective and safe to patients since it is very
specific in its target selectivity. The fact that computer generated
efficacy statistics have shown that the efficacy for this molecule to
specifically inhibit androgen receptors is about 90% predicts very high
activity rate. Furthermore, production of this drug compound will not
cost a lot by drug companies due to its organic structure. Obtaining a
very high efficacy rate for specific inhibition of the target enzyme for a
Model

compound
As obvious above, the efficacy for this drug molecule to inhibit
androgen receptors is very high, and it is also obvious that it does that
specifically. What is very special about this molecule is that its rings
are both single bonded (cyclohexanes) (Figure 1).
This drug molecule may also help reduce insulin resistance and
female hair growth since such factors are related to the activity of
androgen receptors Table 1.

Conclusion
The permeability of the blood brain barrier for this drug is high as
the results showed BBB+, where probability for this was shown to be
close to 1 (close to 100%) [3]. Intestinal absorption for this drug in
humans is also very high (close to 100%). Based on the results
obtained, it will be worth synthesizing this compound both financially
and therapeutically, as there is a huge market for cancer. Also it will
not cost too much for its production, which is an advantage. Another
advantage is that the drug compound is Hydrophobic like most other
drugs which mean it will penetrate the Phospholipid bilayer of target
cells easily. But most importantly, it will have a high efficacy and lower
