Abstract

A group of triazole compounds was selected to investigate the confidence that may be associated with read-across of a complex data gap: repeated dose toxicity. The read-across was evaluated using Assessment Elements (AEs) from the European Chemicals Agency’s (ECHA’s) Read-Across Assessment Framework (RAAF), alongside appraisal of associated uncertainties. Following an initial read-across based on chemical structure and properties, uncertainties were reduced by the integration of data streams such as those from New Approach Methodologies (NAM) and other existing data. In addition, addressing the findings of the ECHA RAAF framework, complemented with specific questions concerning uncertainties, increased the confidence that can be placed in read-across. Although a data rich group of compounds with a strong mechanistic basis was analysed, it was clearly demonstrated that NAM data available from publicly available resources could be applied to support read-across. It is acknowledged that most read-across studies will not be so data rich or mechanistically robust, therefore some targeted experimentation may be required to fill the data gaps. In this sense, NAMs should constitute new experimental tests performed with the specific goal of reducing the uncertainties and demonstrating the read-across hypothesis.
