(Quantitative) Structure-Activity Relationships or (Q)SARs are methods for estimating properties of a chemical from its molecular structure. The QSAR Toolbox is a software intended to be used by governments, the chemical industry and other stakeholders to apply (Q)SARs to fill data gaps needed for assessing the hazards of chemicals. The new version contains many improved tools and databases, especially for the prediction of hazards to human health, and has a more user-friendly interface. The release is part of a collaboration between OECD and the European Chemicals Agency.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Aggregated Computational Toxicology Resource (ACToR) has been added as a participant in eChemPortal. ACTor makes links available to more than 400 sources of publicly available data on environmental chemicals. Data includes chemical structure, physico-chemical values, in vitro assay data and in vivo toxicology data. The database contains both tabular, quantitative data as well as links to text reports at other sites.

An internet-based public discussion forum for users of the OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox is now available. The (Q)SAR Application Toolbox is a software application intended to be used by governments, industry and other stakeholders to fill gaps in (eco)toxicity data needed for assessing the hazards of chemicals. On this discussion forum, users of the Toolbox can exchange experience with using the software (tips and tricks), seek guidance, exchange databases, exchange user defined profilers and QSARs, and make suggestions for improvements.
