Pérez-Garrido, A.; Helguera, A. M.; López, G. C.; Cordeiro, M. N. D. S.; Escudero, A. G. A topological substructural molecular design approach for predicting mutagenesis end-points of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Toxicology 2010, 268, 64–77.

Chemically reactive, α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are common environmental pollutants able to produce a wide range of adverse effects, including, e.g. mutagenicity. This toxic property can often be related to chemical structure, in particular to specific molecular substructures or fragments (
