Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanistic applicability domain classification of a local lymph node assay dataset for skin sensitization.

TL;DR: It is shown that assignment to a reaction mechanistic domain is a critical first step in a strategic approach to understanding, ultimately on a quantitative basis, how chemical properties influence the potency of skin sensitizing chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Cramer classification between Toxtree, the OECD QSAR Toolbox and expert judgment.

TL;DR: The Cramer class of over 1000 fragrance materials across diverse chemical classes were determined by using Toxtree, the OECD QSAR Toolbox, and expert judgment to determine the concordance within various chemical classes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extension of the Dermal Sensitisation Threshold (DST) approach to incorporate chemicals classified as reactive

TL;DR: It is concluded that by combining the reactive DST with knowledge of chemistry a threshold can be established below which there is no appreciable risk of sensitisation for protein-reactive chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Principles for identification of High Potency Category Chemicals for which the Dermal Sensitisation Threshold (DST) approach should not be applied.

TL;DR: The chemical properties and structural features of high potency sensitisers are discussed, and an approach whereby they can be identified and consequently excluded from application of the Dermal Sensitisation Threshold (DST) is derived.
