Chemical Safety & Toxicology Assessment

Comprehensive chemical safety and toxicology analysis integrating predictive AI models, curated toxicogenomics databases, regulatory safety data, and chemical-biological interaction networks. Generates structured risk assessment reports with evidence grading.

When to Use This Skill

Triggers:

  • "Is this chemical toxic?" / "What are the toxicity endpoints for [compound]?"
  • "Assess the safety profile of [drug/chemical]"
  • "What are the ADMET properties of [SMILES]?"
  • "What genes does [chemical] interact with?"
  • "What diseases are linked to [chemical] exposure?"
  • "Predict toxicity for these molecules"
  • "Drug safety assessment for [drug name]"
  • "Environmental health risk of [chemical]"
  • "Chemical hazard profiling"
  • "Toxicogenomic analysis of [compound]"

Use Cases:

  1. Predictive Toxicology: AI-predicted toxicity endpoints (AMES mutagenicity, DILI, LD50, carcinogenicity, skin reactions) for novel compounds via SMILES
  2. ADMET Profiling: Full absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, toxicity characterization
  3. Toxicogenomics: Chemical-gene interaction mapping, gene-disease associations from CTD
  4. Regulatory Safety: FDA label warnings, boxed warnings, contraindications, adverse reactions
  5. Drug Safety Assessment: Combined DrugBank safety + FDA labels + adverse event data
  6. Chemical-Protein Interactions: STITCH-based chemical-protein binding and interaction networks
  7. Environmental Toxicology: Chemical-disease associations for environmental contaminants

KEY PRINCIPLES

  1. Report-first approach - Create report file FIRST, then populate progressively
  2. Tool parameter verification - Verify params via
    get_tool_info
    before calling unfamiliar tools
  3. Evidence grading - Grade all safety claims by evidence strength (T1-T4)
  4. Citation requirements - Every toxicity finding must have inline source attribution
  5. Mandatory completeness - All sections must exist with data minimums or explicit "No data" notes
  6. Disambiguation first - Resolve compound identity (name -> SMILES, CID, ChEMBL ID) before analysis
  7. Negative results documented - "No toxicity signals found" is data; empty sections are failures
  8. Conservative risk assessment - When evidence is ambiguous, flag as "requires further investigation"
  9. English-first queries - Always use English chemical/drug names in tool calls

Evidence Grading System (MANDATORY)

Grade every toxicity claim by evidence strength:

TierSymbolCriteriaExamples
T1[T1]Direct human evidence, regulatory findingFDA boxed warning, clinical trial toxicity, human case reports
T2[T2]Animal studies, validated in vitroNonclinical toxicology, AMES positive, animal LD50
T3[T3]Computational prediction, association dataADMET-AI prediction, CTD association, QSAR model
T4[T4]Database annotation, text-minedLiterature mention, database entry without validation

Required Evidence Grading Locations

Evidence grades MUST appear in:

  1. Executive Summary - Key toxicity findings graded
  2. Toxicity Predictions - Every ADMET-AI endpoint with confidence note
  3. Regulatory Safety - FDA findings marked [T1]
  4. Chemical-Gene Interactions - CTD data marked by curation status
  5. Risk Assessment - Final risk classification with supporting evidence tiers

Phase 0: Compound Disambiguation (ALWAYS FIRST)

CRITICAL: Resolve compound identity before any analysis.

Input Types Handled

Input FormatResolution Strategy
Drug name (e.g., "Aspirin")PubChem_get_CID_by_compound_name -> get SMILES from properties
SMILES stringUse directly for ADMET-AI; resolve to CID for other tools
PubChem CIDPubChem_get_compound_properties_by_CID -> get SMILES + name
ChEMBL IDChEMBL_get_molecule -> get SMILES + properties

Resolution Steps

  1. Input detection: Determine if input is name, SMILES, CID, or ChEMBL ID
    • SMILES: contains typical SMILES characters (=, #, [, ], (, ), c, n, o and no spaces in middle)
    • CID: numeric only
    • ChEMBL: starts with "CHEMBL"
    • Otherwise: treat as compound name
  2. Name to CID:
    PubChem_get_CID_by_compound_name(name=<compound_name>)
  3. CID to properties:
    PubChem_get_compound_properties_by_CID(cid=<cid>)
  4. Extract SMILES: Get SMILES from PubChem properties (field:
    ConnectivitySMILES
    ,
    CanonicalSMILES
    , or
    IsomericSMILES
    depending on response format)
  5. Store resolved IDs: Maintain dict with

Phase 1: Predictive Toxicology (ADMET-AI)

When: SMILES is available (from Phase 0 or provided directly)

Objective: Run comprehensive AI-predicted toxicity endpoints

Tools Used

All ADMET-AI tools take the same parameter format:

AMES, Carcinogens_Lagunin, ClinTox, DILI, LD50_Zhu, Skin_Reaction, hERG
smiles
: list[str]
ADMETAI_predict_stress_response

smiles
: list[str]
ADMETAI_predict_nuclear_receptor_activity

smiles
: list[str]

Workflow

  1. Call
    ADMETAI_predict_toxicity(smiles=[resolved_smiles])
  2. Call
    ADMETAI_predict_stress_response(smiles=[resolved_smiles])
  3. Call
    ADMETAI_predict_nuclear_receptor_activity(smiles=[resolved_smiles])
  4. For each endpoint, interpret prediction:
    • Classification endpoints: Active (1) = toxic signal, Inactive (0) = no signal
    • Regression endpoints (LD50): Report numerical value with context
    • All predictions graded [T3] (computational prediction)

Decision Logic

  • Multiple SMILES: Can batch up to ~10 SMILES in single call
  • Failed prediction: If ADMET-AI fails, note "prediction unavailable" (don't fail entire report)
  • Confidence: Note that AI predictions are [T3] evidence, not definitive
  • hERG flag: If hERG = Active, flag prominently (cardiac safety risk)
  • AMES flag: If AMES = Active, flag prominently (mutagenicity concern)
  • DILI flag: If DILI = Active, flag prominently (liver toxicity concern)

Output Table

### Toxicity Predictions [T3]

| Endpoint | Prediction | Interpretation | Concern Level |
|----------|-----------|---------------|---------------|
| AMES Mutagenicity | Inactive | No mutagenic signal | Low |
| Carcinogenicity | Inactive | No carcinogenic signal | Low |
| ClinTox | Active | Clinical toxicity signal | HIGH |
| DILI | Active | Drug-induced liver injury risk | HIGH |
| LD50 (Zhu) | 2.45 log(mg/kg) | ~282 mg/kg (moderate) | Medium |
| Skin Reaction | Inactive | No skin sensitization signal | Low |
| hERG Inhibition | Active | Cardiac arrhythmia risk | HIGH |

*All predictions from ADMET-AI. Evidence tier: [T3] (computational prediction)*

Workflow

  1. Call all 6 ADMET tools in parallel (independent calls)
  2. Compile results into Absorption / Distribution / Metabolism / Excretion sections
  3. Assess Lipinski Rule of 5 compliance from physicochemical properties
  4. Flag drug-drug interaction risks from CYP inhibition profiles

Decision Logic

  • BBB penetrant + toxicity: If BBB = Yes and any CNS toxicity endpoint active, flag as neurotoxicity risk
  • Low bioavailability: If F20% = Low, note absorption concerns
  • CYP inhibitor: If CYP3A4 inhibitor = Yes, flag high DDI risk
  • Lipinski violations: Count violations and report drug-likeness assessment

Output Format

### ADMET Profile [T3]

#### Absorption
| Property | Value | Interpretation |
|----------|-------|----------------|
| BBB Penetrance | Yes | Crosses blood-brain barrier |
| Bioavailability (F20%) | 85% | Good oral absorption |

#### Distribution
| Property | Value | Interpretation |
|----------|-------|----------------|
| VDss | 1.2 L/kg | Moderate tissue distribution |
| PPB | 92% | Highly protein bound |

#### Metabolism
| CYP Enzyme | Substrate | Inhibitor |

| CYP1A2 | No | No |
| CYP2C9 | Yes | No |
| CYP2C19 | No | No |
| CYP2D6 | No | No |

| Half-life | 6.2 h | Moderate half-life |

Phase 3: Toxicogenomics (CTD)

Objective: Map chemical-gene-disease relationships from curated CTD data

Tools Used

ToolFunctionParameter
CTD_get_chemical_gene_interactions

: str (chemical name)
CTD_get_chemical_diseases
Diseases linked to chemical exposure
input_terms
: str (chemical name)

Workflow

  1. Call
    CTD_get_chemical_gene_interactions(input_terms=compound_name)
  2. Call
    CTD_get_chemical_diseases(input_terms=compound_name)
  3. Parse gene interactions: extract gene symbols, interaction types (increases/decreases expression, binding, etc.)
  4. Parse disease associations: extract disease names, evidence types (marker/mechanism/therapeutic)
  5. Identify most affected biological processes from gene list

Decision Logic

  • Direct evidence vs inferred: CTD separates curated direct evidence from inferred associations
  • Therapeutic vs toxic: Disease associations can be therapeutic (drug treats disease) or adverse (chemical causes disease)
  • Gene interaction types: Distinguish between expression changes, binding, and activity modulation
  • Prioritize marker/mechanism: These indicate stronger causal evidence than simple associations
  • Grade curated as [T2]: Direct curated CTD evidence from literature
  • Grade inferred as [T3]: Computationally inferred associations

Output Format

### Toxicogenomics (CTD) [T2/T3]

#### Chemical-Gene Interactions (Top 20)
| Gene | Interaction | Type | Evidence |
|------|------------|------|----------|
| CYP1A2 | increases expression | mRNA | [T2] curated |

Workflow

  1. Call all 6 FDA tools in parallel (independent queries by drug name)
  2. Parse and structure each response
  3. Prioritize: Boxed Warnings > Contraindications > Warnings > Adverse Reactions
  4. All FDA label data is [T1] evidence (regulatory finding based on human/animal data)

Decision Logic

  • Boxed warning present: Flag as CRITICAL safety concern in executive summary
  • No FDA data: Chemical may not be an approved drug; note "Not an FDA-approved drug" and continue with other phases
  • Multiple warnings: Categorize by organ system (hepatic, cardiac, renal, CNS, etc.)
  • Nonclinical toxicology: Grade as [T2] (animal data supporting human risk)

Output Format

### Regulatory Safety (FDA) [T1]

#### Boxed Warning
**PRESENT** - Hepatotoxicity risk with doses >4g/day. Liver failure reported. [T1]

#### Contraindications
- Severe hepatic impairment [T1]
- Known hypersensitivity [T1]

#### Adverse Reactions (by frequency)
| Reaction | Frequency | Severity |
|----------|-----------|----------|
| Nausea | Common (>1%) | Mild |
| Hepatotoxicity | Rare (<0.1%) | Severe |
| ... | ... | ... |

#### Nonclinical Toxicology [T2]
- **Carcinogenicity**: No carcinogenic potential in 2-year rat/mouse studies
- **Mutagenicity**: Negative in Ames assay and in vivo micronucleus test
- **Fertility**: No effects on fertility at doses up to 10x human dose

Phase 5: Drug Safety Profile (DrugBank)

When: Compound is a known drug

Objective: Retrieve curated drug safety data from DrugBank

Tools Used

  2. Parse toxicity information, overdose data, contraindications
  3. Cross-reference with FDA data from Phase 4

Decision Logic

  • Toxicity field: Contains LD50 values, overdose symptoms, organ toxicity data
  • DrugBank ID: Note if found for cross-referencing
  • Conflict with FDA: If DrugBank and FDA disagree, note discrepancy and defer to FDA [T1]
  • Not found: Chemical may not be in DrugBank; continue with other phases

Phase 6: Chemical-Protein Interactions (STITCH)

When: Compound can be identified by name or SMILES

Objective: Map chemical-protein interaction network for off-target assessment

  2. Get interactions:
    STITCH_get_chemical_protein_interactions(identifiers=[stitch_id], species=9606, required_score=700)
  3. Identify off-target proteins (not the intended drug target)
  4. Flag safety-relevant targets: hERG (cardiac), CYP enzymes (metabolism), nuclear receptors (endocrine)

Decision Logic

  • High confidence (>900): Well-established interaction [T2]
  • Medium confidence (700-900): Probable interaction [T3]
  • Low confidence (400-700): Possible interaction, needs validation [T4]
  • Safety-relevant targets: Flag interactions with known safety targets
  • No STITCH data: Chemical may be too novel; note and continue

Phase 7: Structural Alerts (ChEMBL)

When: ChEMBL molecule ID is available (from Phase 0)

Objective: Check for known toxic substructures

Tools Used

ToolFunctionParameters
ChEMBL_search_compound_structural_alerts
Find structural alert matches
molecule_chembl_id
: str,
limit
: int

Workflow

  1. If ChEMBL ID available:

  2. Parse alert types: PAINS (pan-assay interference), Brenk (medicinal chemistry), Glaxo (GSK structural alerts)
  3. Categorize severity: Some alerts are informational, others indicate likely toxicity

Decision Logic

  • PAINS alerts: May cause false positives in screening; note for medicinal chemistry
  • Brenk alerts: Known problematic substructures; flag if present
  • No alerts: Good sign but not definitive proof of safety
  • No ChEMBL ID: Skip this phase gracefully; note "structural alert analysis not available"

Synthesis: Integrated Risk Assessment (MANDATORY)

Always the final section. Integrates all evidence into actionable risk classification.

Risk Classification Matrix

Risk LevelCriteria
CRITICALFDA boxed warning present OR multiple [T1] toxicity findings OR active DILI + active hERG
HIGHFDA warnings present OR [T2] animal toxicity OR multiple active ADMET endpoints
MEDIUMSome [T3] predictions positive OR CTD disease associations OR structural alerts
LOWAll ADMET endpoints negative AND no FDA/DrugBank safety flags AND no CTD concerns
INSUFFICIENT DATAFewer than 3 phases returned data; cannot make confident assessment

Synthesis Template

## Integrated Risk Assessment

### Overall Risk Classification: [HIGH]

### Evidence Summary
| Dimension | Finding | Evidence Tier | Concern |
|-----------|---------|--------------|---------|
| ADMET Toxicity | DILI active, hERG active | [T3] | HIGH |
| FDA Label | Boxed warning for hepatotoxicity | [T1] | CRITICAL |
| CTD Toxicogenomics | 156 gene interactions, liver neoplasms | [T2] | HIGH |
| DrugBank | Known hepatotoxicity at high doses | [T2] | HIGH |
| STITCH | Binds CYP3A4, hERG | [T3] | MEDIUM |
| Structural Alerts | 2 Brenk alerts | [T3] | MEDIUM |

### Key Safety Concerns
1. **Hepatotoxicity** [T1]: FDA boxed warning + ADMET-AI DILI prediction + CTD liver disease associations
2. **Cardiac Risk** [T3]: ADMET-AI hERG prediction + STITCH hERG interaction
3. **Drug Interactions** [T3]: CYP3A4 substrate/inhibitor, potential DDI risk

### Data Gaps
- [ ] No in vivo genotoxicity data available
- [ ] STITCH interaction scores moderate (700-900)
- [ ] No environmental exposure data

### Recommendations
1. Avoid doses >4g/day (hepatotoxicity threshold) [T1]
2. Monitor liver function in chronic use [T1]
3. Screen for CYP3A4 interactions before co-administration [T3]
4. Consider cardiac monitoring for at-risk patients [T3]

Fallback Strategies

Compound Resolution

  • Primary: PubChem by name -> CID -> properties -> SMILES
  • Fallback 1: ChEMBL search by name -> molecule -> SMILES
  • Fallback 2: If SMILES provided directly, skip name resolution

Toxicity Prediction

  • Primary: All 9 ADMET-AI endpoints
  • Fallback: If ADMET-AI fails for a compound, note "prediction failed" and continue with database evidence
  • Note: ADMET-AI may fail for very large or unusual SMILES

Regulatory Data

  • Primary: FDA labels by drug name
  • Fallback: If FDA returns no data, try alternative drug names (brand vs generic)
  • Note: Non-drug chemicals (pesticides, industrial) will not have FDA labels

CTD Data

  • Primary: Search by common chemical name
  • Fallback: Try MeSH name if common name fails
  • Note: Novel compounds may not be in CTD

Limitations & Known Issues

Tool-Specific

  • ADMET-AI: Predictions are computational [T3]; should not replace experimental testing
  • CTD: Curated but may lag behind latest literature by 6-12 months
  • FDA: Only covers FDA-approved drugs; not applicable to environmental chemicals or supplements
  • DrugBank: Primarily drugs; limited coverage of industrial chemicals
  • STITCH: Score thresholds affect sensitivity; lower scores increase false positives
  • ChEMBL: Structural alerts require ChEMBL ID; not all compounds have one

Analysis

  • Novel compounds: May only have ADMET-AI predictions (no database evidence)
  • Environmental chemicals: FDA/DrugBank phases will be empty; rely on CTD and ADMET-AI
  • Batch mode: ADMET-AI can handle batches; other tools require individual queries
  • Species specificity: Most data is human-centric; animal data noted where applicable

Technical

  • SMILES validity: Invalid SMILES will cause ADMET-AI failures
  • Name ambiguity: Chemical names can be ambiguous; always verify with CID
  • Rate limits: Some FDA endpoints may rate-limit for rapid queries
