The Use of QSAR in ICH-M7 Guideline for Assessment of Genotoxic Impurities
Two (Q)SAR prediction methodologies that complement each other should be applied. One methodology should be expert rule based and the second methodology should be statistical based.
The absence of structural alerts from two complementary (Q)SAR methodologies (expert rule-based and statistical) is sufficient to conclude that the impurity is of no mutagenic concern, and no further testing is recommended.
How to Improve QSAR Prediction ?
New QSAR Algorithm/ Model• AI, Deep-learning ?
Training data set• New• Many• Reliable
Chemicals newly manufacturing produced or imported more than 100kg/year must be assessed its mutagenicity by Ames assay.
Industrial Safety and Health Law “An-eihou” in Japan

Ames Mutagenicity of Challenging Chemicals
Class A : Strongly positive, in which the chemical generally induces more than 1,000 colonies/mg in at least one Ames strains in the presence or absence of rat S9.
Class B : Positive, in which the chemical induces colonies more than 2-fold of the negative control at least one Ames strains in the presence or absence of rat S9, but not in class A.
Class C : Negative, which is neither class A nor B.

What means Ames positive?
Class A : Strongly positive, in which the chemical generally induces more than 1,000 colonies/mg in at least one Ames strains in the presence or absence of rat S9.
Class B : Positive, in which the chemical induces colonies more than 2-fold of the negative control at least one Ames strains in the presence or absence of rat S9, but not in class A.
Class C : Negative, which is neither class A nor B.

Summary
A large number of highly reliable data sets are essential to allow the development and improvement of QSAR models.
The Ames/QSAR international collaborative study is successfully ongoing. Its outcome gives a lot of benefits to QSAR vendors, QSAR users, and regulatory.
The integrated approach with QSAR results increases the sensitivity and specificity of the Ames test. It can support to judge the Ames results with molecular mechanism.

AMES QSAR
The next Ames/QSAR challenge program will start from the end of 2018. Not only QSAR vendors, but also academia and IT companies are welcome to join the challenge. Hopefully, new QSAR models using AI and deep-learning will challenge.
