Table 7. Comparison of the deduced LC50, EC50 and TI for caffeine, DCA and theophylline.
log(LC50) | log(EC50) | log(TI) | log(TI) Litt | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Manual | Auto | Manual | Auto | Manual | Auto | ||
Caffeine | 0.82 ± 0.03 | 0.81 ± 0.02 | -0.9 ± 0.7 | -0.8 ± 1.0 | 1.72± 0.73 | 1.61± 1.0 | 1.26±0.05 |
DCA | 1.74 ± 0.02 | 1.75 ± 0.02 | 0.62 ± 0.02 | 0.56 ± 0.03 | 1.12± 0.04 | 1.19± 0.05 | Not available |
Theophylline | 0.62 ± 0.07 | 0.59 ± 0.07 | -0.11 ± 0.05 | -0.16 ± 0.01 | 0.73± 0.12 | 0.75± 0.1 | 1.06±0.04 |
This table presents all the log(LC50) and log(EC50) values processed on the manual observations and on the values processed by our classification pipeline. These values are compared for each chemical and finally log(TI) (TI = teratogenic index) are calculated this way: log(TI) = log(LC50)-log(EC50). According to the bibliography and also to the results given by our automatic classification, we can conclude that caffeine theophylline and DCA clearly revealed their teratogenicity (log(TI) > 0) on the basis of the results achieved by the automatic analysis.
