Predictive Computational Approaches Revolutionizing Toxicity Assessment

Computational methods that predict the toxic potential of a substance based on its chemical structure.

QSAR (Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship): Uses mathematical models to link chemical structure with biological activity

Read-Across: Predicts toxicity by comparing to similar compounds with known data.

TTC (Threshold of Toxicological Concern): Establishes exposure limits for chemicals with limited data based on structural alerts. Regulatory-driven hazard assessment made efficient. Essential for reducing animal testing while supporting REACH, ICH, and FDA submissions through validated predictive models.

Accelerating Discovery: AI-Driven Validation & Virtual Screening for Safer, Smarter Chemicals

Use of software tools to validate and screen large sets of chemical compounds for toxicity, pharmacokinetics, or target interaction based on predictive algorithms.

Speeds up early-stage R&D, reduces lab costs, and supports submission of validated toxicity data in drug, cosmetic, and chemical safety evaluations.

Revolutionizing Safety Testing: Embracing New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)

A collective term for non-animal, modern testing strategies such as in vitro models, in silico tools, omics technologies, and exposure modeling.

NAMs are encouraged or required by the EU Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, OECD, and U.S. EPA to replace animal testing, especially in cosmetics and industrial chemicals.

Safeguarding Medicine

Assessment of DNA-reactive impurities in drug substances/products using two complementary in silico methods (rule-based and statistical), backed by expert review.

Mandatory under ICH M7 (R1) for pharmaceuticals to ensure safety of trace-level impurities over a drug’s lifecycle.

Edit Content

AI-Driven Hazard & Exposure Modeling

Application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to predict chemical hazards and human exposure potential using large datasets and trained algorithms.

Supports risk prioritization, toxicity predictions, and real-time decision making in pharma, food, and cosmetics safety.

Edit Content

Predictive Genotoxicity Models

In silico models that assess whether a substance can cause genetic mutations (genotoxicity) or cancer (carcinogenicity) through mechanisms like DNA damage or oxidative stress.

Required for regulatory dossiers (FDA, EMA, ECHA) and early safety screening in pharmaceuticals and personal care products.

Edit Content

Process Impurity Safety Shield

Scientific evaluations using TTC, in silico prediction, and risk-based approaches to justify the safety of process-related impurities in drug manufacturing.

Necessary for API and drug product filings under ICH Q3A/B and M7 to demonstrate control of mutagenic impurities.

Edit Content

Nitrosamine Risk Evaluation

Assessment of potential nitrosamine impurities and NDSRIs (Nitrosamine Drug Substance Related Impurities) for their carcinogenic risk using predictive models and TTC.

Required globally (EMA, FDA, Health Canada) following detection of nitrosamines in many APIs since 2018.

Edit Content

Dynamic PBPK & TK Modeling

PBPK (Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic) and TK (Toxicokinetic) modeling simulate how chemicals are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the human body.

Supports bioequivalence, dose extrapolation, and risk assessment, especially in medical devices, cosmetics, and special populations (pediatrics, geriatrics).

Edit Content

Hormone System Safety Check

Assessment of whether a substance interferes with the hormonal system, potentially affecting reproduction, development, or metabolism.

Required for cosmetics, biocides, REACH registrations, and pesticide approvals under EU and OECD frameworks.
