Table 1.

List of the established toxicity values and chemical descriptors that were used for modeling in this study.

a

Depending on the toxicity value, the number of compounds with an established number varied and was determined as described in “Methods.” See Table S1 for the chemical names, toxicity values, and their source (i.e., the federal or state agency that derived each value).

b

Percent of compounds from the Collaborative Estrogen Receptor Activity Prediction Project (CERAPP) chemical database of 32,464 compounds (Mansouri et al. 2016) within the global domain of applicability for the compounds with the corresponding toxicity values, based on Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) molecular descriptors and a Z-score cutoff <3. For a more restrictive Z-score cutoff <1, the percentages are 70%, 78%, 65%, 65%, 69%, 67%, 43%, and 54%.
