Druglikeness of the steroids were calculated in PASS Professional 2010 [26] which was fragment based signifying that
the ligands have some fragments to existing drugs. Each of them were given an in silico score which is the sum of five parameters (molecular size with optimal values 6400 that includes a correction for halogens, lipophilicity calculated by the ClogP algorithm with values 63, solubility at pH 6.5 that is a result from balanced contribution of neutral and ionized species with optimal values P50 mg /L, polarity assessed by the polar surface area (PSA) with values 6120 Å2 and the number of rotatable bonds with value 67) [40]. This value can range from 0 to 1 but lower the score better the in silico evaluation of the physicochemical properties for the compound to serve as a lead to be an orally administered drug [41].
All the twenty five steroids have shown this value ranging from 0.989 to 0.993 (Table S9). Efficient absorption and transport to the blood stream are vital aspects for delivering therapeutic
