Table 7.

Analysis of substances from the NICEATM set that were predicted incorrectly by all three in silico models, the justification for the TIMES-SS and Derek predictions are given, VEGA does not give a mechanistic description. The authors’ proposed rationales for the incorrect predictions are also given. Mechanistic domains – Michael Acceptor (MA), Schiff Base former (SB), Acyl transfer agent, SN2 etc. make reference to the reaction pathways described in Aptula and Roberts [33]

graphic file with name nihms979930t68.jpg DTXSID60697617 190965-45-8 LLNA-NS Aromatic carbonyl compounds Resorcinol or precursor SB would be more plausible if COAr was ortho to OH was an aldehyde. Resorcinol formation is deactivated by the COAr which is electron withdrawing and therefore deactivated resorcinol’s oxidation.
graphic file with name nihms979930t69.jpg DTXSID90469546 313680-92-1 LLNA-NS Epoxides, Aziridines and Sulfuranes Epoxide Epoxide is probably insufficiently reaction (see [36]).
graphic file with name nihms979930t70.jpg 13504-15-9 LLNA-NS alpha, beta-Carbonyl compounds with polarised double bonds 1,2-Dicarbonyl compound or precursor This metabolic activation is probably not significant in mouse skin vs guinea pig or man (see 50-24-8).
graphic file with name nihms979930t71.jpg DTXSID40284367 6973-09-7 LLNA-NS Metabolite: Quinone methide(s)/imines, Quinoide oxime structure, Nitroquinones, Aromatic primary or secondary amine Oxidation is deactivated by SO2Me.
graphic file with name nihms979930t72.jpg DTXSID60337127 87578-93-6 LLNA-NS alpha, beta-Carbonyl compounds with polarised double bonds alpha, beta-Unsaturated ketone or precursor Low reactivity as a methacrylate.
graphic file with name nihms979930t73.jpg DTXSID70345475 57514-21-3 LLNA-NS Metabolites: Hydroperoxides Aromatic primary or secondary amine Oxidation of the aromatic amine would be deactivated by OMe and the fused pyridine ring.
graphic file with name nihms979930t74.jpg DTXSID9020112 1912-24-9 LLNA-NS Activated aryl and heteroaryl compounds Activated N-heterocycle The negative experimental outcome is surprising. Would expect this substance to be reactive as a SNAr. Hydrolysis might account for the NS outcome reported.
graphic file with name nihms979930t75.jpg DTXSID9020112 50-23-7 LLNA-NS Ketones 1,2-Dicarbonyl compound or precursor Metabolic activation in mouse skin is probably not significant to lead to a sensitising outcome. (see 50-24-8).
graphic file with name nihms979930t76.jpg DTXSID50469840 444731-74-2 LLNA-NS Activated aryl and heteroaryl compounds Activated N-heterocycle Surprising outcome. Would expect this substance to react as a SNAr electrophile, hydrolysis could be a competing factor.
graphic file with name nihms979930t77.jpg DTXSID70469403 444731-75-3 LLNA-NS Activated aryl and heteroaryl compounds Activated N-heterocycle Surprising outcome. Would expect this substance to react as a SNAr electrophile, hydrolysis could be a competing factor.
graphic file with name nihms979930t78.jpg DTXSID40456769 201677-59-0 LLNA-NS Epoxides, Aziridines and Sulfuranes Alkyl halide OH relative to the Br leaving group has a deactivating effect. Not sufficiently reactive to act as a SN2 electrophile.
graphic file with name nihms979930t79.jpg DTXSID10620233 414909-98-1 LLNA-NS Carbamates alpha, beta-Unsaturated ketone or precursor Poor acyl transfer agent, weak SN2 and deactivated as MA by beta Nitrogen.
graphic file with name nihms979930t80.jpg DTXSID70725319 305366-94-3 LLNA-S No Alerts No Alerts Right hand side benzene ring has 2 ortho N substituents. Hydrolysis of the amides in the 7 membered ring would give rise to a ortho-di(aryl)amino benzene which is oxidisable to a quinone imine that could act as a MA.
graphic file with name nihms979930t81.jpg 168151-92-6 LLNA-S No Alerts No Alerts Anionic with surfactant features, likely false positive (FP) result.
graphic file with name nihms979930t82.jpg 2051-59-4 LLNA-S No Alerts No Alerts MA – lactone; phenyl ester.
graphic file with name nihms979930t83.jpg DTXSID7026285 120-14-9 LLNA-S No Alerts No Alerts Aromatic aldehyde SB former that happens to be sufficiently reactive to sensitise.
