چکیده انگلیسی
The need to assess the ability of a chemical to act as a mutagen is one of the primary requirements in regulatory toxicology. Several pieces of legislation have led to an increased interest in the use of in silico methods, specifically the formation of chemical categories and read-across for the assessment of toxicological endpoints. One of the key steps in the development of chemical categories for mutagenicity is defining the mechanistic organic chemistry associated with the formation of a covalent bond between DNA and an exogenous chemical. To this end this study has analysed, by use of a large set of mutagenicity data (Ames test), the mechanistic coverage of a recently published set of in silico structural alerts developed for category formation. The results show that the majority of chemicals with a positive result in the Ames test were assigned at least one covalent binding mechanism related to the formation of a DNA adduct. The remaining chemicals with positive data in the Ames assay were subjected to a detailed mechanistic analysis from which 26 new structural alerts relating to covalent binding mechanisms were developed. In addition, structural alerts for radical and non-covalent intercalation mechanisms were also defined. The structural alerts outlined in this study are not intended to predict mutagenicity but rather to identify mechanisms associated with covalent and non-covalent DNA binding. This mechanistic profiling information can then be used to form chemical categories suitable for filling data gaps via read-across. A strategy for chemical category formation for mutagenicity is also presented.
