Structural Features of Toxic Chemicals for Specific Toxicity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied the structural features of toxic chemicals from the RTECS database associated with specific toxicity. The frameworks, functional groups, and structure patterns of molecules are taken into account. Potential active frameworks, groups, and structure patterns for specific toxicity are gained by computational chemistry approaches. These structural features of toxic chemicals will be helpful in understanding activities of toxic chemicals and useful in predicting the toxicity of chemicals, especially in the early stage of drug design.

Polar Narcosis in Aquatic Organisms
The majority of industrial organic chemicals lack identifiable structural characteristics that result in specific biological activity. These nonpolar-nonelectrolytes are acutely toxic to aquatic organisms via a nonspecific mode of action termed narcosis. The toxicity of industrial chemicals eliciting nonpolar narcosis can be reliably predicted by log P (baseline toxicity models). Using single c...
متن کاملToxicity Effect of Colloidal Silver Nanoparticles to Marine Microalgae, Nannochloropsis oculata
To assess the acute toxicity of colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in Nannochloropsis oculata, microalgal cells were exposed to different concentrations of AgNPs for 72 hours and according to OECD 201. Algal cell count was done every 24 hours and average specific growth rate, as well as percent inhibition of the average specific growth rate, were calculated for each concentration. Also, the...
متن کاملToxic Response of Mosquito Culex Quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) to some Agricultural Pesticides (Butachlor and Pertilachlor)
Background: The expansion of herbicide used in aquatic ecosystems as well as in terrestrial if is not properly controlled may produce harmful effects on freshwater fisheries. Residue limits of these agricultural chemicals in tropical fishery waters should be established. The aim of this study was to determine the acute toxicity of butachlor and pertilachlor as potential dangerous herbicides to ...
متن کاملNeural network based classification of acute toxicity of phthalate esters to fathead minnow
Chemoinformatics, the brain child of Frank Brown [1], has emerged as new branch of science by the technological marriage of information technology and chemistry [2,3]. Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSARs), needed for the analysis/drug-design, are in the form of structural alerts that incorporate molecular substructures, presence/absence of activity, structural relationships, et...
متن کاملSAR and Modeling
SAR plays a prominent role in TSCA screening of new chemicals and existing chemicals in commerce. SAR models for bioavailability, ecotoxicology and health toxicology endpoints are being used to identlify chemicals with the greatest potential for ecological or health hazard, to set testing priorities, and to provide scientific support for a testing recommendation. SAR models vary considerably in...
