In Silico Methods for Predicting Drug Toxicity

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 1425))

Abstract

Toxicity databases are a useful resource to support hazard and risk assessment. They are used to retrieve historical studies for compounds of interest and to support toxicity predictions where no data exists. Toxicity predictions are either based upon study results from similar chemicals or prediction models built from these databases.
