Using nano-QSAR to predict the cytotoxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles

TL;DR: A model is developed to describe the cytotoxicity of 17 different types of metal oxide nanoparticles to bacteria Escherichia coli that reliably predicts the toxicity of all considered compounds, and the methodology is expected to provide guidance for the future design of safe nanomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward the development of "nano-QSARs": advances and challenges

TL;DR: It is suggested that, due to high variability in the molecular structures and different mechanisms of toxicity, individual classes of nanoparticles should be modeled separately.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advancing risk assessment of engineered nanomaterials: application of computational approaches

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to present the current state of knowledge related to the risks of the engineered nanoparticles and to assess the potential of efficient expansion and development of new approaches, which are offered by application of theoretical and computational methods, applicable for evaluation of nanomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zeta Potential for Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: A Predictive Model Developed by a Nano-Quantitative Structure–Property Relationship Approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative structure-property relationship model (nano-QSPR) was developed to predict the zeta potential of metal oxide nanoparticles using only two descriptors: (i) the spherical size of nanoparticles, a parameter from numerical analysis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, and (ii) the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital per metal atom.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards understanding mechanisms governing cytotoxicity of metal oxides nanoparticles: hints from nano-QSAR studies.

TL;DR: The comparison of the toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles to bacteria Escherichia coli and a human keratinocyte cell line resulted in the hypothesis that different modes of toxic action occur between prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems.
