A Review of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) Models to Predict Thyroid Hormone System Disruption by Chemical Substances.

ABSTRACT: Thyroid hormone (TH) system disruption by chemicals poses a significant concern due to the key role the TH system plays in essential body functions, including the metabolism, growth, and brain development. Animal-based testing methods are resource-demanding and raise ethical issues. Thus, there is a recognised need for new approach methodologies, such as quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models, to advance chemical hazard assessments. This review, covering the scientific literature from 2010 to 2024, aimed to map the current landscape of QSAR model development for predicting TH system disruption. The focus was placed on QSARs that address molecular initiating events within the adverse outcome pathway for TH system disruption. A total of thirty papers presenting eighty-six
