Update of QSAR Toolbox (version 2.1) now available for free download

17-févr.-2011

(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. This updated version 2.1 contains a number of new functionalities and bug fixes. The release is part of a collaboration between OECD and the European Chemicals Agency.

QSAR Toolbox version 2.0 now available for free download

02-nov.-2010

(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.

 

eChemPortal new participant - U.S. EPA Aggregated Computational Toxicology Resource (ACToR)

11-août-2010

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.

OECD Environmental Risk Assessment Toolkit

02-juin-2010

The first version of the OECD Environmental Risk Assessment Toolkit is now available. This Toolkit describes the work flow of environmental risk assessment and management with links to relevant OECD products that can be used in each step of the work flow. This Toolkit provides support for capacity building to relevant stakeholders by improving the access and use of various tools and guidance on risk assessment and management of chemicals developed under the OECD Environment, Health and Safety Programme.

(Q)SAR Application Toolbox: Public Discussion Forum on the Internet

28-mai-2010

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.

Publication of the 2007 OECD List of High Production Volume Chemicals

26-oct.-2009

The OECD List of High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals serves as the overall priority list from which chemicals are selected for SIDS data gathering and testing and initial hazard assessment. It is compiled by the OECD Secretariat on the basis of regular submissions by Member countries reporting those industrial chemicals for which a Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number had been assigned and which are produced or imported at levels greater than 1000 tonnes per year.

Frequently Asked Questions about the OECD QSAR Application Toolbox

02-juil.-2009

A first set of Frequently Asked Questions about the OECD QSAR 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. The questions address a number of topics such as regulatory acceptance, content and quality of databases, contribution from stakeholders as well as installation and troubleshooting.

Three new data sources participate in eChemPortal

18-mai-2009

The Hazardous Substance Data Bank (HSDB) managed by the National Library of Medicine in the United States, The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Substance Registry Services (SRS) and Canada’s Existing Substances Assessment Repository (CESAR) were all recently added as new participating data sources in eChemPortal, the Global Portal to Information on Chemical Substances. eChemPortal provides direct links to collections of information prepared for government chemical review programmes at national, regional, and international levels.

Release of a guidance document for the use of the OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox

27-févr.-2009

The Guidance Document for using the OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox to develop chemical categories according to the OECD Guidance on Grouping of Chemicals 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. This new document specifically provides guidance on how to use the Toolbox to build chemical categories and fill data gaps by read-across or trend analysis according to the OECD Guidance on Grouping of Chemicals
