In Silico QSAR & Read-Across

Methods to be employed in molecular design, impurity qualification, toxicological and environmental risk assessment (ERA). A computational toxicology assessment should be performed using QSAR (Quantitative structure–activity relationship) methodologies that predict the outcome of a bacterial mutagenicity assay. Two QSAR prediction methodologies that complement each other should be applied. One methodology should be expert rule-based and…
