Peroxides represent a large and interesting group of biologically active natural compounds. All these metabolites contain a peroxide group (R-O-O-R). This review describes studies of more than 60 peroxides isolated from plants and fungi. Most of the plant peroxy steroids exhibit high antiprotozoal (Plasmodium) activity with a confidence of up to 95%, while steroids harvested from fungi show more antineoplastic activity with a confidence of up to 94%. In addition, more than 20 different activities of both groups of peroxides with a probability of 78 to 90% have also been predicted using computer program PASS.
