A 3D graph illustrating the predicted and calculated anti-neoplastic activity of halogenated steroids (156, 157, and 171) derived from marine sources. Anti-neoplastic activity refers to the ability of a substance to inhibit or prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells. It is a crucial characteristic for potential cancer treatments. The graph provides valuable insights into the relationship between the structural features of these halogenated steroids and their potential effectiveness as anti-neoplastic agents. The predicted and calculated activity values depicted on the graph represent the potency or efficacy of these compounds for inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. With a confidence level of over 92%, the graph indicates a high degree of certainty in the accuracy of the predicted and calculated anti-neoplastic activity values. This suggests that these halogenated steroids hold promise as potential candidates for further investigation as anti-cancer agents. The exploration of halogenated steroids derived from marine sources for their anti-neoplastic activity is of great interest in cancer research and drug development. Natural compounds with anti-neoplastic properties offer potential alternatives or adjuncts to traditional cancer therapies.
