ResinTox Toxicology Toolkit
PREDICTIVE TOXICOLOGY
ResinTox Toxicology Toolkit, is a comprehensive scientific application leveraging advanced machine learning and cloud computing to accelerate toxicological research, enhance safety assessment, and pioneer the design of safer chemicals. Move from slow, costly traditional methods to rapid, data-driven in silico analysis.
The Research Workflow, Reimagined
Traditional toxicology is linear and slow. The application from ResinTox transforms it into an integrated, cyclical, and intelligent system, aligning with the modern paradigm of reducing, refining, and replacing animal use (the 3Rs) while enhancing predictive accuracy.
From Unknown to Understood
Quickly identify potential hazards with data-driven analysis. Instead of laborious literature reviews, generate structured, actionable insights in moments through targeted API calls to scientific databases.
- Rapid Profiling: The Toxicity Profiler generates a comprehensive report on physicochemical properties, target organs, and GHS pictograms.
- Symptom Prediction: The Symptom Predictor provides immediate insights into potential clinical outcomes of exposure.
- Deep Analysis: Use the Chemical Analyser for targeted literature searches to answer specific research questions.
Example: Toxicity Profile
OUTPUT SNIPPET:

Health Hazard
Environmental Hazard
Target Organs: Endocrine System, Reproductive System
Modeling Biological Reality
Go beyond hazard ID to quantify risk. ResinTox provides a virtual laboratory to model complex pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes without extensive *in vivo* testing.
- Dose-Response Modeling: Visualize the fundamental dose-response relationship, estimating key parameters like EC50 to quantify potency.
- Virtual Organisms (PBPK): The ADMET/PBPK Simulator models how a substance is Absorbed, Distributed, Metabolized, and Excreted, predicting its concentration in key organs.
- Intervention Scenarios: The Antidote Profiler models the therapeutic effect of an antidote, a powerful tool for developing treatment protocols.
Example: PBPK Simulation
Engineering a Safer Future
The ultimate goal of toxicology is prevention. ResinTox embraces the “safer by design” philosophy, using advanced machine learning to move from reactive analysis to proactive chemical creation before synthesis ever begins.
- Goal-Oriented Design: The De Novo Designer flips the script. Define your desired properties (e.g., “biodegradable,” “low neurotoxicity”), and the system proposes novel structures that fit.
- Rapid Vet-and-Refine Loop: A proposed molecule can be instantly fed back into the Toxicity Profiler and ADMET/PBPK Simulator, creating a fast iterative loop for refining ideas *in silico*.

PROPOSED SAFER ALTERNATIVE:
Symptom Predictor
Predicts likely physiological symptoms resulting from exposure to a specific substance. It allows users to specify the subject (e.g., human, rat) and dose, providing crucial information for clinical toxicology and emergency response scenarios.
Mixture Analyst
Analyzes the complex interactions between multiple chemicals in a mixture. It identifies potential synergistic or antagonistic effects and metabolic interferences, critical for assessing real-world exposures.
Chemical Analyser
Acts as a computational research assistant, performing targeted searches across scientific literature and cloud databases to answer specific questions and synthesize concise reports.
Toxicity Profiler
Generates a comprehensive toxicity report, detailing acute values (LD50), GHS pictograms, and chronic effects like carcinogenicity, providing a foundational safety assessment.
Dose-Response Modeler
Simulates and visualizes the dose-response curve, a cornerstone of toxicology. This allows researchers to determine a substance’s potency (EC50) and efficacy for risk assessment.
Antidote Profiler
Models the dynamic interaction between a toxicant and its antidote, simulating changes in pharmacokinetics to help researchers understand and optimize therapeutic interventions.
De Novo Designer
Pioneers a “safer by design” approach. Users specify desired chemical properties and undesired toxic endpoints to avoid, and the system proposes novel molecular structures.
ADMET/PBPK Simulator
Provides a two-stage simulation, first predicting the ADMET profile and then running a PBPK simulation to model the substance’s concentration over time in critical organs.
Molecule Designer
Generates novel molecular structures from natural language descriptions and provides immediate feedback by calculating the new molecule’s drug-likeness profile.
Synthesis Generator
Proposes plausible chemical synthesis pathways for a target molecule, helping chemists bridge the gap from *in silico* design to practical lab work.
