Acute dermal toxicity testing is essential for assessing the safety of chemicals used in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, cosmetics, and industrial chemicals. Conventional toxicity testing methods rely significantly on animal tests, which are resource-in...
Multi-species acute toxicity assessment forms the basis for chemical classification, labelling and risk management. Existing deep learning methods struggle with diverse experimental conditions, imbalanced data, and scarce target data, hindering their...
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Artocarpus lacucha Buch. -Ham. (syn. Artocarpus lakoocha) (A. lacucha), is a tropical fruit tree and a member of the Moraceae family. Fruit, bark, foliage, and roots of A. lacucha are broadly utilized in folklore medic...
Nowadays, organic chemicals are crucial components in virtually every aspect of daily life, serving as indispensable elements for modern society. The ongoing synthesis of chemicals and the various potential harmful effects on living organisms are pro...
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: The species Siparuna guianensis Aublet (family Siparunaceae) is traditionally used by indigenous peoples and riverine communities in Central and South America to treat migraines, flu, respiratory diseases, fever, pain,...
In this study, count-based Morgan fingerprints (CMF) were employed to represent the fundamental chemical structures of contaminants, and a neural network model (R² = 0.76) was developed to predict acute fish toxicity (AFT) of organic compounds. Model...
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study was conducted on 313 pesticides to predict their acute toxicity to Sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) by using DRAGON descriptors. Essentials accounting for a reliable model were all ...
With the rapid increase in the number of commercial chemicals, testing methods regarding on median lethal dose (LD) relying animal experiments face challenges such as high costs and ethical concerns. Classical quantitative structure-activity relation...
This study utilized available oral acute toxicity data in Rat and Mouse for polychlorinated persistent organic pollutants (PC-POPs) to construct data fusion-driven machine learning (ML) global models. Based on atom-centered fragments (ACFs), the coll...
