(Quantitative) structure activity relationship [(Q)SAR] modeling is the primary tool used to evaluate the mutagenic potential associated with drug impurities. General recommendations regarding the use of (Q)SAR in regulatory decision making have rece...
The Ames mutagenicity test is a gold standard assay for the safety assessment of new chemicals. However, many in silico models rely on challenging-to-interpret ensemble strategies and molecular fingerprint data, which neglects gestalt molecular struc...
Artificial sweeteners, often known as non-sugar sweeteners (NSSs), have been utilized as food additives since World War II. However, there is also concern regarding the mutagenicity potential of NSSs. Every new chemical registration in the food and p...
Assessing a compound's mutagenicity using machine learning is an important activity in the drug discovery and development process. Traditional methods of mutagenicity detection, such as Ames test, are expensive and time and labor intensive. In this c...
