Twelve steroid based hydrazones were in silico evaluated using computer program PASS as antimicrobial agents. The experimental evaluation revealed that all compounds have low to moderate antibacterial activity against all bacteria tested, except for B. cereus with MIC at a range of 0.37-3.00 mg/mL and MBC at 0.75-6.00 mg/mL. The most potent appeared to be compound 11 with MIC/MBC of 0.75/1.5 mg/mL, respectively. The evaluation of antibacterial activity against three resistant strains MRSA, E. coli and P. aeruginosa demonstrated superior activity of compounds against MRSA compared with ampicillin, which did not show bacteriostatic or bactericidal activities. All compounds exhibited good antifungal activity with MIC of 0.37-1.50 mg/mL and MFC of 1.50-3.00 mg/mL, but with different sensitivity against fungi tested. According to docking studies, 14-alpha demethylase inhibition may be responsible for antifungal activity. Two compounds were evaluated for their antibiofilm activity. Finally, drug-likeness and docking prediction were performed.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D013256 Steroids A group of polycyclic compounds closely related biochemically to TERPENES. They include cholesterol, numerous hormones, precursors of certain vitamins, bile acids, alcohols (STEROLS), and certain natural drugs and poisons. Steroids have a common nucleus, a fused, reduced 17-carbon atom ring system, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene. Most steroids also have two methyl groups and an aliphatic side-chain attached to the nucleus. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Steroid,Catatoxic Steroids,Steroids, Catatoxic
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
