Köln-Timişoara Molecular Activity Combined Models toward Interspecies Toxicity Assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aiming to provide a unified picture of computed activity - quantitative structure activity relationships, the so called Köln (ESIP-ElementSpecificInfluenceParameter) model for activity and Timisoara (Spectral-SAR) formulation of QSAR were pooled in order to assess the toxicity modeling and inter-toxicity correlation maps for aquatic organisms against paradigmatic organic compounds. The Köln ESIP model for estimation of a compound toxicity is based on the experimental measurement expressing the direct action of chemicals on the organism Hydractinia echinata so that the structural influence parameters are reflected by the metamorphosis degree itself. As such, the calculation of the structural parameters is absolutely necessary for correct evaluation and interpretation of the evolution of M(easured) and the C(computed) values. On the other hand, the Timişoara Spectral-SAR analysis offers correlation models and paths for H.e. species as well as for four other different organisms with which the toxicity may be inter-changed by means of the same mechanism of action induced by certain common chemicals.

For warm-blooded species, the hazardous dose of a chemical (HD50) is an upcoming and important characteristic in the assessment of toxic chemicals. Generally, experimental information is available for a limited number of warm-blooded species only, which causes statistical uncertainty. Furthermore, when small datasets contain an unrepresentative sample of species, they can cause systematic uncer...

Human risk assessment of chemicals has traditionally relied on expensive and time-consuming methods to determine toxicity and set regulatory limits for exposure. High-throughput cellbased screening assays are a practical option for rapidly assessing individual chemicals and establishing reliable safety limits. A new study in EHP demonstrates that these assays can also be used to estimate the ra...
