1 Tox21: Opportunities& Challenges Richard A. Becker Ph.D., DABT American Chemistry Council October 21, 2010

2 Opportunities and Challenges The manifest challenge is to develop in vitro and in silico approaches that adequately address the range and complexity of biological processes and can predict toxicity responses How can these new technologies be used with requisite degree of scientific confidence in regulatory & product stewardship chemical management programs? 2

3 Prioritization Opportunities: Prioritization Biological profiling to develop information on activity of chemicals in pathways related to toxicity responses Link with indicators of exposure Risk based priority setting 3

4 Opportunities: Grouping Chemicals in Categories Category = a group of chemicals whose physicochemical and toxicological properties are likely to be similar. Permits interpolation of responses from one member to another HTS (and other similar approaches) could be used to develop &/or justify a category based on the pattern of activity of chemicals in pathways related to toxicity responses Within structurally related compounds, ID subcategory based on biological responses: C1R C2R and C7R C12R exhibit different profile from C4R C6R 4

5 Opportunities: Guide Tox Study Design What does the biological profile indicate re: activity of a chemical in pathways related to toxicity responses? Can one deduce potential mode(s) of action based on HTS and other molecular profiling studies? Based on what is known about that mode of action, how should a tox study be designed? Dose levels Animal model most relevant Endpoints to measure Satellite groups specialized studies Test the hypothesis of particular mode of action 5

6 Opportunities: Screening Level Risk Appraisal As a key element of an Integrated Testing and Assessment Framework A framework that utilizes relevant information from multiple sources including predictive computer models, chemical categories, and in vitro assays with information/results from traditional tox studies to evaluate potential hazards Initial hazard characterization) and derive a tox point of departure (NOAEL/BMD/BMDL) Look at use and exposure scenarios and develop quantitative metrics of exposure Then combine hazard with exposure to yield screening level risk characterization (Margin of Exposure) 6

7 Challenges To predict toxicity will require extensive collaborative research to forge the solid scientific foundation for developing prediction models using QSAR, genomics profiling and High Throughput Screening methods All need to have confidence in the models regulators, industry and the public If the models are to be used in place of traditional tox testing can we have confidence they ll provide results that will be valid? Health protective?

8 Challenges Recurrent theme need to understand what the biological profiles indicate re: activity of a chemical in pathways related to toxicity responses Necessary to evaluate relevance, reliability, sensitivity and specificity of advanced high throughput molecular screening and computational profiling methods prior to regulatory acceptance so that regulatory agencies, the regulated community and the public have sufficient confidence in the decisions based on such methods.

10 Challenges A shotgun approach generating large quantities of data and applying informatics to develop correlations will not be very fruitful in developing the models we need Need a thoughtful approach to develop models that are relevant to extrapolating to humans We need to be careful that such approaches as ToxCast don t just lead us to re discover what we already know about toxicity: metabolism is critical, dose is critical, effects at doses which have saturated detoxification systems are not very relevant for extrapolating to low, environmentally relevant levels of exposures to humans

14 Challenge and Opportunity Develop Predictive Models from HTS and Genomic Data That are Fully Transparent Shared Responsibility: Use knowledge of biological pathways and dose response. Predictive models must have: 1)Mechanistic interpretation: MOA, Bio.Pathway, DR 2)Defined endpoint 3)Unambiguous algorithm 4)Defined domain of applicability 5)Appropriate measures of goodness of fit, robustness and predictivity
