Any other information on results incl. tables

Several SAR and QSAR methods were applied:

SA (structural alert; Ashby, J., Environ. Mutagen., 1985, 7, 919 -921)

SA+ (structural alert with intervention of expert judgement; Ashby)

CASE (Computer Automated Structure Evaluator, with learning sets from NTP and US-EPA)

TOPKAT

All gave consistent negative (non-mutagenic) predictions for 2 -hydroxybenzamide.

The ke procedure (Bakale G., et al, Carcinogenesis, 1987, 8, 253 -264) gave a questionable result, ke = 3.1
