22 2D SARs for Receptor Binding 2D structural alerts have been developed to link chemical properties to MIEs for well-known human pharmacological targets (Bowes 2012) using open source ChEMBL receptor-binding data. Bowes, J., et al. (2012) Drug Discov., 11; Allen, T.E.H. et al. (2016) Chem. Res. Toxicol., 29; 1611.

25 Chemical Categories for Activity The well defined chemical categories provides by the V2.0 ChEMBL structural alerts provide good candidates for higher-level QSAR applications. To determine when this is useful it is helpful to understand the activity range, mean and standard deviation for each chemical category. Read across may useful in some situations for specific chemicals rather than a higher-level QSAR. Comparative Molecular Field Analysis provides a potential tool for the construction of 3D QSAR models based on the data and fragments already identified, where appropriate. This requires the alignment of molecules in the training set and calculation of steric and electronic fields around them. Tosco, P., Balle, T. (2011) J Mol. Model., 25; 777.

33 Putative Mu Opioid Receptor AOP [1] The activation of the three (μ, δ, κ) opioid receptors leads to Gi/o protein activation [2] The activated Gi/o protein activates the GIRK (G protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium) channel [3] Activation of GIRK channels induces hyperpolarization of the neurons via efflux of potassium ions and ultimately reduces neural excitability and heart rate [4] There appears to be two mechanisms by which the transmission of pain sensations are depressed; hyperpolarization of interneurons within the dorsal cord and depressing the release of the neurotransmitters associated with pain transmission Ikeda, K., et al.

44 Guiding in vitro 2D structural alerts have been developed for ToxCast assays to link chemical properties to MIEs in an analogous fashion to those made using ChEMBL receptorbinding data. While these models do not perform as well as the ChEMBL models, can they be used to guide in vitro testing? Do certain chemical characteristics align with specific in vitro ToxCast assays?
