The validation process enabled the Danish EPA to state that, the (QSAR) models used here are now so reliable that they are able to predict whether a given substance has one or more of the properties selected with an accuracy of approximately 70-85%. In addition to the use described above, the Danish EPA has developed a QSAR database that contains predicted data on more than 166,000 substances (OSPAR Commission, 2000). The Danish EPA used a suite of commercially available and proprietary QSARs for environmental and human health endpoints (see those listed in Table 19.5). The predictions were made off-line and were stored in a database (derived from the CHEM-X software). The database was searchable by Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number or chemical name. Only discrete organic chemicals can be stored in the database.

The cyclodienes, particularly aldrin, dieldrin, and endrin, are considered unsafe for any kind of use. Lindane, on the other hand, has high selectivity in favour of Man. It is included in the World s principal pharmacopoeias as an insecticide, acaricide, and larvicide. A 0.2% alcoholic solution is applied topically for head lice and a 1 % emulsion is employed in the treatment of scabies, in humans. The use of DDT in human medicine, for similar purposes, has greatly diminished in the last decade. It must, however, be pointed out that it has a high safety record in Man, and that government bans on its use are concerned with its accumulation in the food chains of birds and fish where it interferes with the calcium metabolism of shells and bones, respectively (see p. 96). In 1956, Hayes, Durham and Cueto, of the USA Public Health Service, fed 35 mg of DDT per man per day (i.e. 200 times the highest average dietary intake of that time in the USA) to human volunteers for 18 months. None of the subjects developed any symptom related to this chemical.

In November 1997, the Department of Health and Human Services along with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) released a draft guidance for the selection of test procedures, which included chiral drugs. For the development of an enantiopure drug substance, acceptable criteria shall include, if possible, an enan-tioselective assay. This assay should be part of the specification for the identification of an enantiopure drug substance and related enantioenriched impurities [16].

CA Selects is a series of current awareness publications derived from the Chemical Abstracts data base. For each topic in the series, a special profile assures the retrieval of pertinent abstracts. The CA Selects series topic that is most relevant to chemical labeling needs is Chemical Hazards, Health eind Safety. This current-awareness service covers documents dealing with safety in the chemical industry, as well as the health and safety of personnel working with hazardous substances. Coverage includes effects of human exposure to hazardous substances and hazardous properties of chemical substances and reactions. The annual cost for this service is 75.00.
