OECD and ECHA team released the OECD Toolbox version 4.4

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) team released the OECD Toolbox v4.4 with one of the biggest following upgrades today:

General

· New Simplified Toolbox interface

· Development of a Toolbox web repository where different modules which could be docked to Toolbox are stored

· Development of Toolbox repository client within the QSAR Toolbox which manages the docking of external modules via direct connection to web repository or uploading from the local computer

· Possibility to “unlock” the ECHA REACH database export in Toolbox which allows exporting of data after accepting the terms and condition for usage.

· One working mode – only 2.5D mode available

Input

· Define target endpoint: – ECHA REACH endpoints could be defined – New options for easier definition of the target endpoint – “Define here”, Copy-Paste defined target endpoint.

· Loading of list with SMILES (or CAS) shows in a window all substances corresponding to the entered identifier

 Profiling

71 profilers (Predefined: 5; General Mechanistic: 29; Endpoint Specific: 25; Empiric: 9; Toxicological: 1; Custom: 2) and 16 metabolisms (5 observed and 11 simulated) are available.

· New “QSAR domain query” in the profiling editor.
