197 mg/kg bw

Any other information on results incl. tables

The prediction reliability in terms of ATE Category is estimated as 86 %.

The mechanistic picture of the model is complicated due to the nature of the endpoint and the nonlinear modeling technique - ANN (artificial neural network). Nevertheless, it can be concluded that model descriptors are related to the overall polarity - polarizability, reactivity, electrostatic and hydrogen donor/acceptor ability of the compounds stressing the role of heteroatoms
