Abstract: An inspection of an already developed QSAR model is necessary to verify the reproducibility of the model itself, and its present applicability to new chemicals, if a version of calculation software for theoretical molecular descriptors is updated. A QSAR model for bioconcentration in fish, published by the authors and based on 5 molecular descriptors of different ...

Abstract: The chemicals that are jointly Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) are substances of very high concern (SVHC) and subject to an authorization step in the new European REACH regulation, which includes plans for safer substitutions of recognized hazardous compounds. The limited availability of experimental data necessary for the hazard/risk assessment ...

Abstract: The use of Quantitative Structure?Activity Relationships in assessing the potential negative effects of chemicals plays an important role in ecotoxicology. (LC50)96h in Pimephales promelas (Duluth database) is widely modeled as an aquatic toxicity end-point. The object of this study was to compare different molecular descriptors in the development of new ...
