IV. Models accounting for metabolism
(Non-kinetic)
1. In vitro Ames Mutagenicity
v.17.17
Chemicals included in the training set of the TIMES
Ames model are collected according to the recommendation in the
OECD technical guideline 471 addressing the number of Salmonella
typhimurium strains (TA100, TA98, TA1535, TA1537, E. coli)
associated with each data.
The refined training set include 3569 chemicals
(1738 of which are proprietary chemicals). The training set is
including chemicals:
A. Positive as parents only (1031 of them 188 are
proprietary);
B. Positive as parents and metabolites (469 of them
117 are proprietary);
C. Negative as parents and metabolites (2069 of
them 1433 are proprietary).
2. In vitro Chromosomal Aberrations v.17.17
Upgrade of the training set now including 855
compounds:
A. Positive
a. Positive as parents only (440 of them 11 are
proprietary);
b. Positive as parents and metabolites (98 of them
2 are proprietary);
B. Negative (317 of them 79 are proprietary).
3. In vitro MLA Mutagenicity v.03.03
Training set of the in vitro MLA mutagenicity model
is expanded from 383 to 432 compounds by adding chemicals which are
observed to be positive as parents assuming that they are also
positive after S9 metabolic activation.
4. In vivo Comet Genotoxicity
v.12.12
Training set of the in vivo Comet genotoxicity
model consists of 151 chemicals with in vivo comet data.
New in vivo metabolic simulator based on 647
metabolic pathways documented in rat liver is used.
5. In vivo Liver Clastogenicity
v.09.09
Training set of the liver clastogenicity model
consists of 115 chemicals with in vivo data.
6. In vivo Liver TGR mutagenicity
v.08.08
Modifying the training set based on data evaluation
performed by an external expert.
Definition of TGR-specific alerts justifying TGR
positive data of chemicals which are negative in the Ames
test.
82 "trapping" detoxification pathways, conditioning
the in vivo bioavailability of parent chemicals and their
metabolites, have been defined.
Modified interface of the model.
7. In vivo Micronucleus Formation
v.13.13
Training set of the in vivo Micronucleus Formation
model consists of 493 chemicals.
Definition of MNT-specific alerts derived from
chemicals with in vitro negative and in vivo positive.
8. Estrogen binding Affinity v.04.09
New improved in vitro metabolic simulator based on
observed metabolic pathways in incubation media with rodent liver
microsomes or S9 fraction.
9. Skin sensitization with autoxidation
v.24.29
Addition of new chemicals - the current training
set consists of 886 chemicals (39 of which have proprietary skin
sensitization data)
