Predicting mechanisms of toxic action remains a key challenge in both toxicology and ecotoxicology.
With growing expectations around non-animal testing, the need for reliable and broadly applicable in silico tools has never been greater.
Together with Liverpool John Moores University, KREATiS developed MechoA+, a new structure-based profiler designed to predict Molecular Initiating Events (MIEs) by combining and refining existing mechanistic schemes.
Key features:
• 152 structural alerts
• Coverage of ~80% of chemicals out of 70,000+ substances
MechoA+ represents a significant step forward in mechanistic hazard assessment.
Now freely available as an add-in profiler in the OECD QSAR Toolbox — we encourage you to explore it.
A dedicated research publication is coming soon.
