Less Common Physicochemical Properties Used to Predict Cation Toxicity

3 LESS COMMON PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES USED TO PREDICT CATION TOXICITY 

Sauvant et al. (1997) used the ionization potential (IP) of 16 cations and five bioassays (RNA synthesis rate assay, MTT reduction assay, neutral red incorporation 

QCARs That Used Only the Pearson and Mawby (1967) Softness Parameter (Op) to Predict Cation Toxicity 

Enache et al. (2003) developed 18 QSARs to predict cation toxicity (Table 5.1). Enache et al. (2003) determined the concentration at which there is a 50% decrease in the rate of callus development in the sunflower (Helianthus annuus F.l. Sunspot) and found a large number of correlations with relevant physical and chanical descriptors for 16 of their QSARs (Table 5.20).

Table 5.20 lists the QSARs with less common physicochemical properties used to predict cation toxicity. Only a few of the test systems for the references listed in Table 5.20 have not been previously described. These test systems are described here.
