QSAR Models for Repeated Dose Toxicity in Rats Using the CORAL Software
= 848). To speed up the processing of the enormous number of substances we are exposed to, in silico models are an attractive solution. Monte Carlo technique, incorporating the Las Vegas algorithm, was applied to develop models for repeated-dose toxicity in rats. Optimal descriptors were calculated using correlation weights for attributes of the Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES). Computational experiments were conducted 5 times, with splits obtained using the Las Vegas algorithm. Good predictive potential was observed for these models, with an average determination coefficient on the validation set of 0.77 ± 0.04.
