Abstract
Read-across refers to the process by which information from one (source) chemical is used to infer information about another similar (target) chemical. This method can be used to fill data gaps and so inform safety assessment where data are lacking for chemicals of interest. As one chemical cannot be considered as absolutely similar to another, only similar with respect to a given property, it is essential to justify the selection of similar chemicals (analogues) for the purposes of read-across. A previously created dataset of available physiologically-based kinetic (PBK) models (referred to as the PBK modelling dataset or PMD) was used in the development of a KNIME workflow. KNIME is a freely-available, open-source analytics platform that allows users to create workflows to analyse and visualise data. The KNIME workflow described here was designed to identify chemical analogues with a corresponding model in the PMD. The PMD combined with the KWAAS enables PBK model information from source chemical(s) to be used in a read-across approach to help develop new PBK models for target chemicals. This KNIME workflow was applied to six chemicals, representing different types of chemical classes (drugs, cosmetics, botanicals, industrial chemicals, pesticides, and food additives) to assess its applicability across various industries. Information acquired from these PBK models can be used to support safety assessment of chemicals and reduce reliance on animal testing.
