WATERNT
- Defined endpoint: Water Solubility
- Methodology: WATERNT uses a "fragment constant" methodology to predict water solubility.  In a "fragment constant" method, a structure is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups) and coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the solubility estimate.  WATERNT’s methodology is known as an Atom/Fragment Contribution (AFC) method.
- Validation of dataset : WATERNT has been tested on a validation dataset of 4,636 compounds not included in the training set.  These 4636 compounds were collected from the PHYSPROP Database. The complete training and validation data sets can be downloaded from the Internet at: http://esc.syrres.com/interkow/EpiSuiteData.htm
- Applicability
Training Set Molecular Weights: Minimum MW: 30.30 (formaldehyde) ; Maximum MW: 627.62 (hexabromobiphenyl) ; Average MW: 187.73
Training Set Water Solubility Ranges: Minimum Solubility (mg/L):   0.0000004  (octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) Minimum Solubility (log moles/L):  -12.0605  (octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) Maximum Solubility (mg/L):  miscible  (various) Maximum Solubility (log moles/L):  1.3561  (acetaldehyde)
Currently there is no universally accepted definition of model domain.

WSKOWWIN
- Defined endpoint: Water Solubility
- Methodology : WSKOWWIN estimates the water solubility (WSol) of an organic compound using the compounds log octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow). WSKOWWIN estimates water solubility for any compound with one of two possible equations :log S (mol/L)  =  0.796 - 0.854 log Kow - 0.00728 MW + ΣCorrections and log S (mol/L)  =  0.693 - 0.96 log Kow - 0.0092(Tm-25) - 0.00314 MW + ΣCorrections (where MW is molecular weight, Tm is melting point (MP) in deg C [used only for solids]) ... Summation of Corrections (ΣCorrections) are applied as described in Appendix E.   When a measured MP is available, that equation is used; otherwise, the equation with just MW is used.
- Validation of dataset: A dataset of 1450 compounds (941 solids, 509 liquids) having reliably measured water solubility, log Kow and melting point was used as the training set for developing the new estimation algorithms for water solubility.  Standard linear regressions were used to fit  water solubility (as log S) with log Kow, melting point and molecular weight.
- Applicability : there is no universally accepted definition of model domain.  However, users may wish to consider the possibility that water solubility estimates are less accurate for compounds outside the MW range, water solubility range and log Kow range of the training set compounds :
Range of water solubilities in the Training set: Minimum  =  4 x 10-7 mg/L (octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) Maximum =  completely soluble (various)
Range of Molecular Weights in the Training set: Minimum  =  27.03 (hydrocyanic acid) Maximum =  627.62 (hexabromobiphenyl)
Range of Log Kow values in the Training set: Minimum  =  -3.89 (aspartic acid) Maximum =  8.27 (decachlorobiphenyl)

No formal QMRF assessment of the model is currently available, however, the user's guide describes all the information.
- Defined endpoint: Water Solubility
- Domains : TEST uses different QSAR domains: Hierarchical method, FDS method, group contribution method and nearest neighbor method.
- Statistical validation: the consensus method gives the best statistics in terms of prediction accuracy and coverage. The prediction results for the consensus method are
Hierarchical, R²=0.834
FDA, R²=0.809
Group contribution, R²=0.766
Nearest neighbor, R²=0.791
Consensus, R²=0.857
- Domain of applicability: a dataset of 5020 chemicals was compiled from the database in EPI Suite. Chemicals with water solubilities exceeding 1,000,000 mg/L were omitted from the overall dataset. In addition, data were limited to data points that are within 10°C of 25°C. The modelled property was −Log10(water solubility mol/L).
