Predication Of Biological Activity Of Algal Antitumor Drugs Using Pass, Azhaguraj Ramakrishnan Jan 2010

Predication Of Biological Activity Of Algal Antitumor Drugs Using Pass, Azhaguraj Ramakrishnan

Azhaguraj Ramakrishnan

The computer system PASS provides simultaneous predication of several hundreds of biological activity types of any drug like compounds. Over the past decade seaweeds have become an interesting source of new classes of pharmacologically active natural products. The majority of biologically active compounds have both pharmacotherapeutic and side/toxic actions. To estimate general efficacy and safety of the molecules under study, their biological potential should be thoroughly evaluated. In this study the PASS (Predication of activity spectra for substances)computer program, which is able to simultaneously predict more than one thousand biological and toxicological activities from only the structural formulas of the …
