MeSH headings : Animals; Hazardous Substances / toxicity
TL;DR:
An evaluation of statistical models for classifying in vivo toxicity endpoints from ToxRefDB using ToxCast in vitro bioactivity data and chemical structure descriptors concluded that the current Tox cast phase I assays and chemicals have limited applicability for predicting in vivo chemical hazards.
