Timothy Malloy in ChemicalWatch: Authorisation applicants underusing Qsars, study suggests

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) is a strategy of the essential importance for chemistry and pharmacy, based on the idea that when we change a structure of a molecule then also the activity or property of the substance will be modified. Qsars may be being underused by applicants assessing alternatives to SVHCs, according to a US analysis of REACH data. Timothy Malloy’s study also found gaps in Qsar documentation.
