Abstract

In dietary risk assessment of plant protection products, residues of active ingredients and their metabolites need to be evaluated for their genotoxic potential. The European Food Safety Authority recommend a tiered approach focussing assessment and testing on classes of similar chemicals. To characterise similarity, in terms of metabolism, a metabolic similarity profiling scheme has been developed from an analysis of 69 α-chloroacetamide herbicides for which either Ames, chromosomal aberration or micronucleus test results are publicly available. A set of structural space alerts were defined, each linked to a key metabolic transformation present in the α-chloroacetamide metabolic space. The structural space alerts were combined with covalent chemistry profiling to develop categories suitable for chemical prioritisation via read-across. The method is a robust and reproducible approach to such read-across predictions, with the potential to reduce unnecessary testing. The key challenge in the approach was identified as being the need for metabolism data individual groups of plant protection products as the basis for the development of the structural space alerts.
