Schultz, T.W.; Netzeva, T.I.; Roberts, D.W.; Cronin, M.T.D. Structure-Toxicity Relationships for the Effects to Tetrahymena pyriformis of Aliphatic, Carbonyl-Containing, α,β-Unsaturated Chemicals. Chem. Res. Toxicol. 2005, 18, 2, 330–341.

Toxicity data for 82 aliphatic chemicals with an alpha,beta-unsaturated substructure were compiled. Toxicity was assessed in the 2-day Tetrahymena pyriformis population growth impairment assay. Toxic potency [log(IGC50(-1))] for most of these chemicals was in excess of baseline narcosis as quantifie
