Small molecule could have big impact on cancer

Dr. Jung-Mo Ahn, associate professor of chemistry at The University of Texas at Dallas, has designed and synthesized a novel small molecule that might become a large weapon in the fight against prostate cancer. In a study published online May 28 in the journal Nature Communications, Ahn and his colleagues describe the rational design of the molecule, as well as laboratory tests that show its effectiveness at blocking the cancer-promoting function of androgen receptors.
