Cronin, M.T.D.; Aptula, A.O.; Duffy, J.C.; Netzeva, T.I.; Rowe, P.H.; Valkova, I.V.; Schultz, T.W. Comparative assessment of methods to develop QSARs for the prediction of the toxicity of phenols to Tetrahymena pyriformis. Chemosphere 2002, 49, 10, 1201–1221.

Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) for the toxicity of 200 phenols to the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis, and the validation of the QSARs using a test set of a further 50 compounds, are reported. The phenols are structurally heterogeneous and represent a variety of mech
