Abstract
Most of pharmaceutical agents display several or even many biological activities. It is obvious that testing even one compound for thousands of biological activities is a practically not reasonable task. Therefore, computer-aided prediction is the method of choice for the selection of the most promising bioassays for particular compounds. Using PASS Online software, we determined the probable antimicrobial activity of the 31 steroid derivatives. Experimental testing of the antimicrobial activity of the tested compounds by microdilution method confirmed the computational predictions. Furthermore, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans biofilm formation was investigated. Compound 11 showed a biofilm reduction by 42.26% at the MIC of the tested compound. The percentages are lower than ketoconazole, but very close to its activity.
期刊介绍：
SAR and QSAR in Environmental Research is an international journal welcoming papers on the fundamental and practical aspects of the structure-activity and structure-property relationships in the fields of environmental science, agrochemistry, toxicology, pharmacology and applied chemistry. A unique aspect of the journal is the focus on emerging techniques for the building of SAR and QSAR models in these widely varying fields. The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the topics of topological and physicochemical descriptors, mathematical, statistical and graphical methods for data analysis, computer methods and programs, original applications and comparative studies. In addition to primary scientific papers, the journal contains reviews of books and software and news of conferences. Special issues on topics of current and widespread interest to the SAR and QSAR community will be published from time to time.
