A predictive toxicity model was generated to group chemicals by their
in vitro bioactivity profile and look for signatures that
correlate with in vivo toxicity. (A) An AOP for
embryonic vascular disruption was constructed by identifying initial molecular
targets that are linked to developmental angiogenesis and coarsely map to
124/821 human in vitro ToxCast assays. ToxCast assays (124)
mapping to 30 molecules are included in the ToxPi for putative vascular
disrupting compounds (pVDCs). (B) The signature was used to rank
order 1060 ToxCast chemicals and a 37 member chemical test set was selected.
