Roberts, D. W.; Aptula, A. O.; Patlewicz, G. Mechanistic Applicability Domains for Non-Animal Based Prediction of Toxicological Endpoints. QSAR Analysis of the Schiff Base Applicability Domain for Skin Sensitization. Chem. Res. Toxicol. 2006, 19, 9, 1228–1233.

Several recent (1999 onward) publications on skin sensitization to aldehydes and ketones, which can sensitize by covalent binding to skin protein via Schiff base formation, present QSARs based on the Taft sigma* parameter to model reactivity and log P to model hydrophobicity. Here, all of the data a
