Leadscope Announces the Availability of the Predictive Data Miner Software and FDA SAR-Ready Genetox Database

Columbus, Ohio March 12, 2007 Leadscope announces the availability of the Leadscope Predictive Data Miner software (model building) and the FDA SAR-Ready Genetox Database.

The Predictive Data Miner is powerful OECD compliant software for predicting biological activity. Scientists can transparently build customized training sets, add knowledge, and develop models. Once a model is applied to a structure or series of structures the domain of applicability of each is tested and graphically depicted.

The FDA SAR-Ready Genetox database is the first in a series of SAR-ready databases to be constructed by Leadscope and the U.S. FDA under their Cooperative Research & Development Agreement. This database contains 2,241 compounds with more than 16,000 test results, compiled from non-proprietary FDA records and other sources. All structures and test calls have been verified for accuracy while both structures and data have been balanced to facilitate model training set selection. Toxicity endpoints include bacterial mutagenesis, in vitro chromosome aberration and in vivo micronucleus.

Loftus Lucas, Leadscopes CEO, said, The combination of SAR-ready data and the model building capability allows scientists to easily build and apply transparent genetox models.

The Predictive Data Miner is not black box software. Data, algorithms, domain of applicability, and results are all fully transparent to meet OECD requirements.
