Article Abstract
In the present study, ninety-five halogenated dioxins and related chemicals (dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans, biphenyls, and naphthalene) with endpoint pEC were used to develop twelve quantitative structure toxicity relationship (QSTR) models using inbuilt Monte Carlo algorithm of CORAL software. The hybrid optimal descriptor of correlation weights (DCW) using a combination of SMILES and HSG (hydrogen suppressed graph) was employed to generate QSTR models. Three target functions i.e. TF (W=W=0), TF (W= 0.3 & W=0) and TF (W= 0.0 &W=0.3) were employed to develop robust QSTR models and the statistical outcomes of each target function were compared with each other. The correlation intensity index (CII) was found a reliable benchmark of the predictive potential for QSTR models. The numerical value of the determination coefficient of the validation set of split 1 computed by TF was found highest (R=0.8438). The fragments responsible for the toxicity of dioxins and related chemicals were also identified in terms of the promoter of increase/decrease for pEC. Three random splits (Split 1, Split 2 and Split 4) were selected for the extraction of the promoter of increase/decrease for pEC. In the last, consensus modelling was performed using the intelligent consensus tool of DTC lab (https://dtclab.webs.com/software-tools). The original consensus model, which was created by combining four distinct models employing the split 4 arrangement, was more predictive for the validation set and the numerical value of the determination coefficient of the test set (validation set) was increased from 0.8133 to 0.9725. For the validation set of split 4, the mean absolute error (MAE 100%) was also lowered from 0.513 to 0.2739.

Organic pesticide molecules pose toxicity risks to aquatic species such as Chironomus riparius and Lemna gibba. However, limited toxicity data and resource-intensive laboratory tests impede comprehensive assessment. To overcome these obstacles, computational techniques like Quantitative Structure-Toxicity Relationship (QSTR) offer an efficient and effective approach.

There is a growing need for industry and global regulatory agencies to develop rapid chemical safety assessment through more reliable theoretical models. Thus, quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR) models are preferred by regulators to bring chemicals to market rather than long and expensive animal testing. In this study, we evaluated four binary classification machine learning (ML) models (support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, CART decision tree and random forest) for their ability to predict toxicity towards Tetrahymena pyriformis using 1416 benzene-derived compounds (749 chemicals evaluated and 697 synthetic toxicants) classified into two groups: non-toxic molecules (NTox) with 708 observations and toxic molecules (Tox) with 708 observations.

Ionic liquids (ILs) with tunable structures have emerged as promising next-generation biocides. In this study, we presented an ML-based q-RASTR framework, along with i-qRASTTR approach, to predict the toxicity of ILs against different bacteria. Various ML algorithms were employed for constructing several predictive toxicity models.

Quinoline is a common pharmaceutical scaffold molecule known for its wide range of biological and pharmacological activities, including antimalarial, antitumor, and antibacterial effects. With the continuous discovery of new bioactivities, there is a growing demand for the design and development of novel quinoline-based drugs. However, drug development is time-consuming and costly, and traditional toxicity testing methods such as animal experiments are resource-intensive.

Birds occupy a major portion of the ecology and are considered a valuable species. In this modern era, the application of pesticides has increased and caused very severe harmful consequences to various non-target species, including birds. Many researchers have reported that the number of endangered bird species has been increasing day by day owing to the harmful effects of chemical pesticides.
