Abstract
The biological activities in the field of antimicrobial application of trihalomethylated isoxazolines and isoxazolidines were investigated by means of molecular docking. In our work, we compared these two groups of heterocyclic compounds due to their strength of non-covalent binding affinity with several exemplary proteins that are known to partake in various biological processes. The obtained results show that the investigated compounds possess higher binding affinities to selected proteins than many hitherto known and applied compounds.
