Abstract
Neurotoxicities of a series of solvents in rats and mice have been modeled by means of the TOPS-MODE approach. Two quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR) models were obtained explaining more than 80% of the variance in the experimental values of neurotoxicity of 45 solvents. Only one compound was detected as statistical outlier for these models. In contrast, previous models explained less than 60% of the variance in this property for 44 solvents. Finally, the contributions to neurotoxicity in rats and mice for a series of structural fragments were found. Structural characteristics of chlorinated fragments responsible for their different neurotoxicities were analyzed. The differences in neurotoxic behavior of some fragments in rats and mice were also analyzed, which could give insights on the toxicological mechanism of action of solvents studied.Keywords
