Combinatorial QSAR Modeling of Chemical Toxicants Tested against Tetrahymena pyriformis
Selecting most rigorous quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) approaches is of great importance in the development of robust and predictive models of chemical toxicity. To address this issue in a systematic way, we have formed an international virtual collaboratory consisting of six independent groups with shared interests in computational chemical toxicology. We have compiled an ...
متن کاملCombining Unsupervised and Supervised Artificial Neural Networks to PredictAquatic Toxicity
Most quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models are linear relationships and significant for only a limited domain of compounds. Here we propose a data-driven approach with a flexible combination of unsupervised and supervised neural networks able to predict the toxicity of a large set of different chemicals while still respecting the QSAR postulates. Since QSAR is applicable on...
متن کاملPrediction of the aquatic toxicity of aromatic compounds to tetrahymena pyriformis through support vector regression
Toxicity evaluation is an extremely important process during drug development. It is usually initiated by experiments on animals, which is time-consuming and costly. To speed up such a process, a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study was performed to develop a computational model for correlating the structures of 581 aromatic compounds with their aquatic toxicity to tetrahym...
متن کاملPrediction of toxicity of aliphatic carboxylic acids using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system
Toxicity of 38 aliphatic carboxylic acids was studied using non-linear quantitative structure-toxicityrelationship (QSTR) models. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was used to construct thenonlinear QSTR models in all stages of study. Two ANFIS models were developed based upon differentsubsets of descriptors. The first one used log ow K and LUMO E as inputs and had good predicti...
متن کاملA NEW BIOLOGICAL SCREENING SYSTEM FOR LOCAL ANAESTHETICS BY INHIBITION MOBILITY OF TETRAHYMENA PYRIFORMIS
An alternative in vitro approach to drug screening has been the use of human cell cultures for antiviral agents and microbial cell cultures for the assessment of the carcinogenic potential of selected compounds. A number of protozoan species have been also used as drug screens for anti-protozoal agents. The ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis species has been widely utilised as a dru...
