QSAR in Cancer AssessmentPurpose and AgendaGilman VeithDuluth MNMay 19-21, 2010
McKim Workshop Goals • Summarize regulatory contexts for hazard identification and risk estimation of carcinogenesis • Review progress on alternative methods for estimating endpoints needed in cancer assessment • Discuss the need for a mechanistic framework for improving the transparency of alternative models • Identify examples of chemical categories for which alternatives reliably predict outcomes of rodent assays
Regulatory Contexts Precautionary Perspective “What additional other test results would I want to see before I am willing to conclude a chemical is safe?” Holistic Risk Perspective “How can I identify greatest carcinogenic risks among all chemicals regardless of their testing status?”
Hazard Classification Carcinogenicity • Carcinogenic to Humans (epi data required) • Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans (tumors in two species) • Suggestive Evidence of Carcinogenic Potential • Inadequate Information to Assess Carcinogenic Potential • Not Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans (no tumors in two species)
Data Driven Hazard AssessmentCarciNogenic Potential Number Of Chemicals New Product Development Testing/ Assessment Requirements Safety Assessment Process
Initial Hazard Assessments • Screening Information Datasets – SIDS • Globally Harmonised System of C&L – GHS • REACH –Dossier Testing Plan Reviews • TSCA –PMNs (predictive hazard identification)
StreamliNing Data Requirements • QSAR in chemical engineering has always been used to focus attention/resources on specific activities • QSAR orders chemicals according to intrinsic attributes and generates initial hypotheses for more strategic use of testing and assessment resources • Structural alerts are a convenient and transparent approach to identifying hazard-specific priorities

Grouping by Cancer Pathways • Genotoxic Carcinogenesis • Direct DNA damage through abiotic chemical “binding” • Most electrophiles bind to many DNA/protein sites • Metabolic differences impact cell, organ, species sensitivity • Epigenetic Carcinogenesis • Cytoxicity-induced cell proliferation • Receptor-mediated pathways • Disturbance of homeostatic control • Loss of immune surveillance • Oxidative Stress- Indirect DNA damage • Loss of intercellular communication
