Remarks on result:
positive indication of skin sensitisation based on QSAR/QSPR prediction

Any other information on results incl. tables

Prediction is Sensitizer. The result appears reliable due to calculated index values:

The predicted compound is into the Applicability Domain of the model (AD index = 0.931). Strongly similar compounds with known experimental value in the training set have been found (Similarity index = 0.867). Accuracy of prediction for similar molecules found in the training set is good (Accuracy index = 1). Similar molecules found in the training set have experimental values that agree with the predicted value (Concordance index = 1). Descriptors for this compound have values inside the descriptor range of the compounds of the training set (Descriptors range check = True). All atom centered fragment of the compound have been found in the compounds of the training set (ACF index = 1).

The prediction relies on 6 similar compounds (each with concordant experimental and predicted values) in the test and training data sets of the model: Creosol (CAS No 93-51 -6), anethole (CAS No 104-46-1), 1-naphthole (CAS No 90-15-3), 1-methoxy-4 -(2-propenyl)benzene (CAS No 140 -67-0), hydratropic acid (93-53-8), and benzaldehyde (CAS No 100 -52 -7).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
2,5-Xylenol is predicted by the CAESAR QSAR model for skin sensitization (v.2.1.6) to be a skin sensitiser. The result is considered to be reliable.
Executive summary:

2,5-Xylenol is predicted by the CAESAR QSAR model for skin sensitisation (v.2.1.6) to be a skin sensitiser. The model is implemented inside the VEGA platform and provides a qualitative prediction of skin sensitisation in the mouse Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA).

The prediction relies on 6 similar compounds (each with concordant experimental and predicted values) in the test and training data sets: Creosol (CAS No 93-51 -6), anethole (CAS No 104-46-1), 1-naphthole (CAS No 90-15-3), 1-methoxy-4 -(2-propenyl)benzene (CAS No 140 -67-0), hydratropic acid (93-53-8), and benzaldehyde (CAS No 100 -52 -7).
