Fragrance allergens: Classification and ranking by QSAR

Toxicology in Vitro : an International Journal Published in Association with BIBRA
J J Hostynek, P S Magee

Abstract

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models which predict both skin penetration and cell mediated immunity for small molecular weight non-electrolytes developed earlier were validated on 74 known allergens and non-allergens chosen among fragrance chemicals in common use to test discriminating and grading power. While the test set used for classification was based on experience in humans exclusively, the rank model was tested for sensitization potency including guinea pig data also. In the classification test, 12 of 74 compounds fell in the indeterminate range and were non-classifiable by the present QSAR model. On the remaining 62 compounds the model performs with 90% sensitivity and 100% specificity at 92% concordance. The rank model correctly grades 65 of 74 compounds (88% concordance), with 60% specificity based on exact prediction of non-allergens (NON), and 95% sensitivity on allergens (ACD) allowing for a variance of +/- one level among weak, moderate and severe ratings. In combination, the two models perform with 93% overall concordance on the test set of 74 compounds.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
