The increasing popularity of high mass accuracy non-target mass spectrometry methods has yielded extensive identification efforts based on chemical compound databases. Candidate structures are often retrieved with either exact mass or molecular formula from large resources such as PubChem, ChemSpider or the EPA CompTox Chemistry Dashboard. Additional data (e.g. fragmentation, physicochemical properties, reference and data source information) is then used to select potential candidates, depending on the experimental context. However, these strategies require the presence of substances of interest in these compound databases, which is often not the case as no database can be fully inclusive. A prominent example with clear data gaps are surfactants, used in many products in our daily lives, yet often absent as discrete structures in compound databases. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) are a common, high use and high priority surfactant class that have highly complex transformation behaviour in wastewater. Despite extensive reports in the environmental literature, few of the LAS and none of the related transformation products were reported in any compound databases during an investigation into Swiss wastewater effluents, despite these forming the most intense signals. The LAS surfactant class will be used to demonstrate how the coupling of environmental observations with high resolution mass spectrometry and detailed literature data (expert knowledge) on the transformation of these species can be used to progressively “fill the gaps” in compound databases. The LAS and their transformation products have been added to the CompTox Chemistry Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov/) using a combination of “representative structures” and “related structures” starting from the structural information contained in the literature. By adding this information into a centralized open resource, future environmental investigations can now profit from the expert knowledge previously scattered throughout the literature.

Identification of unknowns in mass spectrometry based non-targeted analyses (NTA) requires the integration of complementary pieces of data to arrive at a confident, consensus structure. Researchers use chemical reference databases, spectral matching, fragment prediction tools, retention time prediction tools, and a variety of other data to arrive at tentative, probable, and confirmed, if possible, identifications. With the diverse, robust data contained within the US EPA’s CompTox Chemistry Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov), the goal of this research is to identify and implement a harmonized identification tool and workflow using previously generated chemistry data. Data has been compiled from product use, functional use prediction models, environmental media occurrence prediction models, and PubMed references, among other sources. We will report on our development of a visualization tool whereby users can visualize the relative contribution of identification-based metrics on a list of candidate structures and observe the greatest likelihood of occurrence. These data and visualization tools support NTA identification via the Dashboard and demonstrate an open, accessible tool for all users of HRMS data.

Cheminformatics methods form an essential basis for providing analytical scientists with access to data, algorithms and workflows. There are an increasing number of free online databases (compound databases, spectral libraries, data repositories) and a rich collection of software approaches that can be used to support automated structure verification and elucidation, specifically for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS). This presentation will provide an overview of freely available data, tools, databases and approaches available to support chemical structure verification and elucidation and highlight some of the known issues regarding data quality and suggest approaches for resolving some of the issues. The importance of structure and spectral standards for data exchange will be discussed, especially with regard to how spectral data can be made openly available to the community via online tools and through scientific publishing.

Chemical risk assessment is both time-consuming and difficult because it requires the assembly of data for chemicals generally distributed across multiple sources. The US EPA CompTox Chemistry Dashboard is a publicly accessible web-based application providing access to various data streams on ~760,000 chemical substances. These data include experimental and predicted physicochemical property data, bioassay screening data associated with the ToxCast program, consumer product and functional use information and a myriad of related data of value to environmental scientists and toxicologists. At this stage of development, the public dashboard provides access to almost 20 predicted physicochemical and environmental fate and transport endpoints with full transparency in terms of model performance. Experimental and predicted human and ecological toxicity data are also available, as are in vitro to in vivo extrapolation dosimetry predictions and predicted exposure and functional use. In parallel to the CompTox Chemistry Dashboard we are developing RapidTox, a web-based application that enables a rapid, flexible and transparent prioritization process for sets of chemicals using several previously used workflows focused on scoring of traditional risk metrics and the inclusion of alternative hazard and exposure estimates. This presentation will give an overview of the CompTox Chemistry Dashboard, RapidTox, our approaches to building transparent and open prediction models, and our efforts to provide access to real time predictions.

The development of QSAR models is critically dependent on the quality of available data. As part of our efforts to develop public platforms to provide access to predictive models, we have attempted to discriminate the influence of the quality versus quantity of data available to develop and validate QSAR models. We have focused our efforts on the widely used EPISuite software that was initially developed over two decades ago and, specifically, on the PHYSPROP dataset used to train the EPISuite prediction models. This presentation will review our approaches to examining key datasets, the delivery of curated data and the development of machine-learning models for thirteen separate property endpoints of interest to environmental science. We will also review how these data will be made freely accessible to the community via a new “chemistry dashboard”.

High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and non-targeted analysis (NTA) are advancing the identification of emerging contaminants in environmental matrices, improving the means by which exposure analyses can be conducted. However, confidence in structure identification of unknowns in NTA presents challenges to analytical chemists. Structure identification requires integration of complementary data types such as reference databases, fragmentation prediction tools, and retention time prediction models. The goal of this research is to optimize and implement structure identification functionality within the US EPA’s CompTox Chemistry Dashboard, an open chemistry resource and web application containing data for ~760,000 substances. Rank-ordering the number of sources associated with chemical records within the Dashboard (Data Source Ranking) improves the identification of unknowns by bringing the most likely candidate structures to the top of a search results list. Database searching has been further optimized with the generation of MS-Ready Structures. MS-Ready structures are de-salted, stripped of stereochemistry, and mixture separated to replicate the form of a chemical observed via HRMS. Functionality to conduct batch searching of molecular formulae and monoisotopic masses was designed and released to improve searching efforts. Finally, a scoring-based identification scheme was developed, optimized, and surfaced via the Dashboard using multiple data streams contained within the database underlying the Dashboard. The scoring-based identification scheme improved the identification of unknowns over previous efforts using data source ranking alone. Combining these steps within an open chemistry resource provides a freely available software tool for structure identification and NTA.

Multiple regulatory bodies (EPA, ECHA, Health Canada) are currently tasked with prioritizing chemicals for data collection and risk assessments. These prioritization efforts are in response to regulatory mandates to identify chemicals for further assessment. We have developed a web-based application that enables a rapid, flexible and transparent prioritization process. The tool includes multiple data streams related to human and ecological hazard, exposure, and physicochemical properties (persistence and bioaccumulation). For human hazard, the data streams include quantitative points of departure (PODs) that are compiled from multiple sources such as EPA ToxRefDB, ECHA, COSMOS; estimated PODs from high-throughput in vitro screening assays and computational models; and qualitative measurements and predictions of specific endpoints (e.g., genotoxicity, endocrine activity). For ecological hazard, quantitative PODs are taken from the EPA ECOTOX database. Exposure information includes production volume, quantitative predictions using the EPA ExpoCast and SHEDS models, biomonitoring data, and qualitative information such as media occurrence, use profiles and likelihood of consumer and childhood exposures. The use of the tool is illustrated by prioritizing chemicals related to TSCA and the Safer Choice Ingredient List. The underpinning data streams for this application are already available in the EPA CompTox Chemistry Dashboard and have been repurposed to deliver this application. This is in keeping with our overarching software development methodology of providing multiple “building blocks” in the form of databases, web services and visualization components to deliver fit-for purpose applications to the relevant audiences.

Non-targeted and suspect screening studies using high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) have revolutionized the detection of chemicals in complex matrices. However, data processing remains challenging due to the vast number of chemicals detected in samples, software and computational requirements of data processing, and inherent uncertainty in confidently identifying chemicals from candidate lists. The US EPA has developed functionality within the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov) to address challenges related to data processing and analysis in HRMS. These tools include the generation of “MS-Ready” structures to optimize database searching, retention time prediction for candidate reduction, consensus ranking using chemical metadata, and in silico MS/MS fragmentation prediction for spectral matching. Combining these tools into a comprehensive workflow improves certainty in candidate identification. This presentation will introduce the tools and combined workflow, including visualization and access via the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard.

The CompTox Chemicals Dashboard is an open chemistry resource and web-based application containing data for ~900,000 substances. While it pales in comparison to other online resources containing many tens of millions of chemical substances it represents two decades of effort to aggregate and curate chemical data to deliver access to physicochemical properties and environmental fate and transport data, in vitro and in vivo toxicity data and consumer product data for over 500,000 products. Associated with the chemical substance collections are specific lists based on chemical classes (e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)), usage categories (e.g. flame retardants, pesticides), specific environmental classes of interest (e.g. disinfectant by-products) and regulatory lists (e.g. TSCA, Toxics release inventory data). The underlying database expands daily as a result of the efforts of curators who continue to harvest data from peer-reviewed publications, regulatory documents and relevant online databases. The cheminformatics architecture allows for mapping between parent chemicals and related substances including metabolites and environmental degradants. The dashboard has become a valuable resource in the identification of chemical substances in the environment.
High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and non-targeted analysis (NTA) are of increasing interest in chemical forensics for the identification of emerging contaminants and chemical signatures of interest. Our research using HRMS for non-targeted and suspect screening analyses utilizes Advanced Search capabilities including mass and formula-based searches. A specific type of data mapping in the underpinning database, using “MS-Ready” structures, has proven to be a valuable approach for structure identification that links structures that can be identified via HRMS with related substances in the form of salts, and other multi-component mixtures that are available in commerce. These MS-Ready structures have been used as an input set for computational MS-fragmentation to provide a database against which to search experimental data for spectral matching. This presentation will provide an overview of how CompTox Chemicals Dashboard, the underlying data, and how it supports structure identification and non-targeted analysis in chemical forensics.

This presentation highlights known challenges with the production of high quality chemical databases and outline recent efforts made to address these challenges. Specific examples will be provided illustrating these challenges within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Computational Toxicology Program. This includes consolidating EPA’s ACToR and DSSTox databases, augmenting computed properties and list search features, and introducing quality metrics to assess confidence in chemical structure assignments across hundreds of thousands of chemical substance records. The past decade has seen enormous investments in the generation and release of data from studies of chemicals and their toxicological effects. There is, however, commonly little concern given to provenance and, more generally, to the quality of the data. The presentation will emphasize the importance of rigorous data review procedures, progress in web-based public access to accurate chemical data sets for use in predictive modeling, and the benefits that these efforts will deliver to toxicologists to embrace the “Big Data” era.

EPA’s National Center for Computational Toxicology is developing automated workflows for curating large databases and providing accurate linkages of data to chemical structures, exposure and hazard information. The data are being made available via the EPA’s CompTox Chemistry Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard), a publicly accessible website providing access to data for almost 760,000 chemical substances, the majority of these represented as chemical structures. The web application delivers a wide array of computed and measured physicochemical properties, in vitro high-throughput screening data and in vivo toxicity data as well as integrated chemical linkages to a growing list of literature, toxicology, and analytical chemistry websites. In addition, several specific search types are in development to directly support the mass spectroscopy non-targeted screening community, who are generating important data for detecting and assessing environmental exposures to chemicals contained within DSSTox. The application provides access to segregated lists of chemicals that are of specific interests to relevant stakeholders including, for example, scientists interested in algal toxins and hydraulic fracturing chemicals. This presentation will provide an overview of the challenges associated with the curation of data from EPA’s December 2016 Hydraulic Fracturing Drinking Water Assessment Report that represented chemicals reported to be used in hydraulic fracturing fluids and those found in produced water. The data have been integrated into the dashboard with a number of resulting benefits: a searchable database of chemical properties, with hazard and exposure predictions, and open literature. The application of the dashboard to support mass spectrometry non-targeted analysis studies will also be reviewed.

EPA’s National Center for Computational Toxicology is developing automated workflows for curating large databases within the DSSTox project, and providing accurate linkages of data to chemical structures, exposure and hazard information. The data are made available via the EPA’s CompTox Chemicals Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard), a publicly accessible website providing access to data for ~880,000 chemical substances, the majority of these represented as chemical structures. The web application delivers a wide array of computed and measured physicochemical properties, in vitro high-throughput screening data and in vivo toxicity data, as well as integrated chemical linkages to a growing list of literature, toxicology, and analytical chemistry websites. In addition, several specific search types are in development to directly support the mass spectrometry non-targeted screening community, enabling cohesive workflows to support data generation for the detection and assessment of environmental exposures to chemicals contained within the database. The application provides access to segregated lists of chemicals that are of specific interest to relevant stakeholders, including, for example, scientists interested in Per- & Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Added lists include those sourced from the European Union as well as developed in-house and now containing thousands of chemicals. A procured testing library of hundreds of PFAS chemicals annotated into chemical categories has been integrated into the dashboard with a number of resulting benefits: a searchable database of chemical properties, with hazard and exposure predictions, and links to the open literature. This presentation will provide an overview of the dashboard, the developing library of PFAS chemicals and associated categorization, and new physicochemical property and environmental fate and transport QSAR prediction models developed for these chemicals. The application of the dashboard to support mass spectrometry non-targeted analysis studies for the identification of PFAS chemicals will also be reviewed.

The EPA Comptox Chemistry Dashboard is a web-based application providing access to a set of data resources provided by the National Center of Computational Toxicology. Sitting on a foundation of chemistry data for ~750,000 chemical substances the application integrates bioassay screening results, physicochemical and toxicological endpoints (both experimental and predicted) and consumer product and functional use data. By integrating a series of other EPA and public databases (e.g. ECOTOX, the EPA Substance Registry Service, EPA’s ChemView and PubChem), the dashboard provides a hub for connecting to other releases of value to environmental scientists and toxicologists. The underpinning architecture has been developed in a manner allowing for the release of the dashboard as a public resource, as well as for delivering applications used inside confidential business information environments. These applications are being assessed for potential applications to support risk decisions. This presentation will provide an overview of the dashboard focusing specifically on the most recent functionality supporting deeper integration to the ToxCast bioassay data and exposure data and predictions available via the dashboard.

EPA’s National Center for Computational Toxicology is developing automated workflows for curating large databases and providing accurate linkages of data to chemical structures, exposure and hazard information. The data are being made available via the EPA’s CompTox Chemistry Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard), a publicly accessible website providing access to data for almost 760,000 chemical substances, the majority of these represented as chemical structures. The web application delivers a wide array of computed and measured physicochemical properties, in vitro high-throughput screening data and in vivo toxicity data as well as integrated chemical linkages to a growing list of literature, toxicology, and analytical chemistry websites. In addition, several specific search types are in development to directly support the mass spectroscopy non-targeted screening community, who are generating important data for detecting and assessing environmental exposures to chemicals contained within DSSTox. The application provides access to segregated lists of chemicals that are of specific interests to relevant stakeholders including, for example, scientists interested in algal toxins and hydraulic fracturing chemicals. This presentation will provide an overview of the challenges associated with the curation of data from EPA’s December 2016 Hydraulic Fracturing Drinking Water Assessment Report that represented chemicals reported to be used in hydraulic fracturing fluids and those found in produced water. The data have been integrated into the dashboard with a number of resulting benefits: a searchable database of chemical properties, with hazard and exposure predictions, and open literature. The application of the dashboard to support mass spectrometry non-targeted analysis studies will also be reviewed.

EPA’s National Center for Computational Toxicology is developing automated workflows for curating large databases within the DSSTox project, and providing accurate linkages of data to chemical structures, exposure and hazard information. The data are made available via the EPA’s CompTox Chemicals Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard), a publicly accessible website providing access to data for ~880,000 chemical substances, the majority of these represented as chemical structures. The web application delivers a wide array of computed and measured physicochemical properties, in vitro high-throughput screening data and in vivo toxicity data, as well as integrated chemical linkages to a growing list of literature, toxicology, and analytical chemistry websites. In addition, several specific search types are in development to directly support the mass spectrometry non-targeted screening community, enabling cohesive workflows to support data generation for the detection and assessment of environmental exposures to chemicals contained within the database. The application provides access to segregated lists of chemicals that are of specific interest to relevant stakeholders, including, for example, scientists interested in Per- & Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Added lists include those sourced from the European Union as well as developed in-house and now containing thousands of chemicals. A procured testing library of hundreds of PFAS chemicals annotated into chemical categories has been integrated into the dashboard with a number of resulting benefits: a searchable database of chemical properties, with hazard and exposure predictions, and links to the open literature. This presentation will provide an overview of the dashboard, the developing library of PFAS chemicals and associated categorization, and new physicochemical property and environmental fate and transport QSAR prediction models developed for these chemicals. The application of the dashboard to support mass spectrometry non-targeted analysis studies for the identification of PFAS chemicals will also be reviewed.

The EPA Comptox Chemistry Dashboard is a web-based application providing access to a set of data resources provided by the National Center of Computational Toxicology. Sitting on a foundation of chemistry data for ~750,000 chemical substances the application integrates bioassay screening results, physicochemical and toxicological endpoints (both experimental and predicted) and consumer product and functional use data. By integrating a series of other EPA and public databases (e.g. ECOTOX, the EPA Substance Registry Service, EPA’s ChemView and PubChem), the dashboard provides a hub for connecting to other releases of value to environmental scientists and toxicologists. The underpinning architecture has been developed in a manner allowing for the release of the dashboard as a public resource, as well as for delivering applications used inside confidential business information environments. These applications are being assessed for potential applications to support risk decisions. This presentation will provide an overview of the dashboard focusing specifically on the most recent functionality supporting deeper integration to the ToxCast bioassay data and exposure data and predictions available via the dashboard.

Web-based technologies coupled with a drive for improved communication between scientists have resulted in the proliferation of scientific opinion, data and knowledge at an ever-increasing rate. The increasing array of chemistry-related computer-based resources now available provides chemists with a direct path to the discovery of information, once previously accessed via library services and limited to commercial and costly resources. We propose that preclinical absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity data as well as pharmacokinetic properties from studies published in the literature (which use animal or human tissues in vitro or from in vivo studies) are precompetitive in nature and should be freely available on the web. This could be made possible by curating the literature and patents, data donations from pharmaceutical companies and by expanding the currently freely available ChemSpider database of over 21 million molecules with physicochemical properties. This will require linkage to PubMed, PubChem and Wikipedia as well as other frequently used public databases that are currently used, mining the full text publications to extract the pertinent experimental data. These data will need to be extracted using automated and manual methods, cleaned and then published to the ChemSpider or other database such that it will be freely available to the biomedical research and clinical communities. The value of the data being accessible will improve development of drug molecules with good ADME/Tox properties, facilitate computational model building for these properties and enable researchers to not repeat the failures of past drug discovery studies.Precompetitive preclinical ADME/tox data and set it free on the web to facili...

Information and data on chemicals is used by scientists to evaluate potential health and ecological risks due to environmental exposures. EPA’s CompTox Chemicals Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov) helps evaluate the safety of chemicals by providing public access to a variety of information on over 760,000 chemicals. Within the Dashboard, users can access chemical structures, chemistry information, toxicity data, hazard data, exposure information, and additional links to relevant websites and applications. These data are compiled from sources including EPA’s computational toxicology research databases, from public domain databases and with collaborators across the world. Chemical lists have been added that provide access to various classes of chemicals and project-based datasets are under constant development. Specific functionality has been delivered within the Dashboard to support mass spectrometry including “MS-ready forms” of chemical substances that would be detectable by mass spectrometry. Workflows have been developed to assist in candidate identification and have now been proven with multiple published studies. An integration path between the dashboard and MetFrag has also been established to provide users the significant benefits resulting from the marriage between the two applications. The datasets underpinning the dashboard are freely available (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard/downloads) for integration into third party databases. This presentation will provide an overview of the available data types and functionality of the dashboard prior to examining how it is developing to support mass spectrometry based analyses within the agency and for the community in general. This will include a review of our research efforts to enhance the dashboard using in silico MS/MS fragmentation prediction for spectral matching.

The EPA CompTox Chemistry Dashboard provides access to data associated with ~760,000 chemical substances. The available data includes experimental and predicted physicochemical properties, environmental fate and transport data, in vivo and in silico toxicity data, in vitro bioassay data, exposure data and a variety of other types of information. The data are under continuous expansion and curation and the experimental data have been used to develop QSAR and QSPR models. A number of these models are available via a web interface so that users can submit a chemical structure and predict properties in real time. The dashboard also provides access to pre-compiled chemical lists and categories, including pesticides, and chemicals detected in the environment via non-targeted mass spectrometry analysis. The data are searchable using chemical identifiers (systematic names, trade names, CAS Registry Numbers), by structure, mass and formula. Batch searches allow for data associated with thousands of chemicals to be obtained in a few seconds, with just a few button clicks, and downloaded to the desktop. This presentation will provide an overview of the Dashboard and its applications to accessing source data associated with agriculturally related chemicals.

The US-EPA first delivered the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard) to the community in 2016 and it has become one of the definitive online resources for sourcing chemical toxicity data. Used by thousands of scientists a day, the stability, uptime and data quality for such a production resource is critical. The assembly of increasingly diverse data types and approaches to interrogating and delivering such data is best investigated by the delivery of proof-of-concept applications for community feedback. This has been achieved by the delivery of the EPA Cheminformatics Modules (https://www.epa.gov/comptox-tools/cheminformatics).
Methods
The Cheminformatics Modules suite of tools is available to the community and delivers novel approaches for the hazard profiling of chemicals, QSAR batch prediction of physiochemical properties and toxicological endpoints, structure alerts based on structure and substructure, and profiling of chemicals using ToxPrint chemotypes using enrichment statistics associated with ToxCast in vitro bioactivity screening. These modules provide access to new capabilities not presently available to users of the Dashboard and enable new analyses for users interested in applications of computational toxicology data and resources.
Results
The Cheminformatics Modules have been used by multiple EPA regional offices, program offices and state offices to source data and perform analyses in terms of alternatives assessment for chlorinated solvents, aggregation of data related to chemicals of emerging concern (e.g., 6PPD and related phenylenediamines) and to support the development of state specific prioritization lists for chemicals. The modules are being used to provide access to data for emergency responders and onsite coordinators and is presently being expanded with safety data sourced from PubChem to provide GHS data, transportation details, and details regarding regulatory screening levels associated with federal and state specific guidelines. The ease of use of the modules has made the harvesting of data faster and easier for a breadth of general stakeholders as screening data for use in potential decision making.
Conclusions
The delivery of chemistry, toxicity, exposure and related data from the US-EPA’s Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure to the community is facilitated using a number of web-based applications. Proof-of-concept tools provide a means by which to deliver novel search, visualization and data delivery approaches for testing and feedback prior to adding the capabilities into production-level tools.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Computational Toxicology Program integrates advances in biology, chemistry, and computer science to help prioritize chemicals for further research based on potential human health risks. This work involves computational and data driven approaches that integrate chemistry, exposure and biological data. As an outcome of these efforts the National Center for Computational Toxicology (NCCT) has measured, assembled and delivered an enormous quantity and diversity of data for the environmental sciences including high-throughput in vitro screening data, in vivo and functional use data, exposure models and chemical databases with associated properties. A series of software applications and databases have been produced over the past decade to deliver these data but recent developments have focused on the development of a new software architecture that assembles the resources into a single platform. A new web application, the CompTox Chemistry Dashboard provides access to data associated with ~720,000 chemical substances. These data include experimental and predicted physicochemical property data, bioassay screening data associated with the ToxCast program, product and functional use information and a myriad of related data of value to environmental scientists.
The dashboard provides chemical-based searching based on chemical names, synonyms and CAS Registry Numbers. Flexible search capabilities allow for chemical identification based on non-targeted analysis studies using mass spectrometry. Chemical identification using both mass and formula-based searching utilizes rank-ordering of results via functional use statistics, thereby providing a solution to help prioritize chemicals for further review when detected in environmental media.
This presentation will provide an overview of the CompTox Dashboard, its capabilities for delivering data to the environmental toxicology community and how the architecture provides a foundation for the development of additional applications to support chemical risk assessment.

In recent years, the growth of scientific data and the increasing need for data sharing and collaboration in the field of environmental chemistry has led to the creation of various software and databases that facilitate research and development into the safety and toxicity of chemicals. The US-EPA Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure has been developing software and databases that serve the chemistry community for many years. This presentation will focus on several web-based software applications which have been developed at the US-EPA and made available to the community. While the primary software application from the Center is the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard almost a dozen proof-of-concept applications have been built serving various capabilities. The publicly accessible Cheminformatics Modules (https://www.epa.gov/chemical-research/cheminformatics) provides access to six individual modules to allow for hazard comparison for sets of chemicals, structure-substructure-similarity searching, structure alerts and batch QSAR prediction of both physicochemical and toxicity endpoints. Each of these depends on the underlying DSSTox chemicals database, a rich source of chemistry data for over 1.2 million chemical substances. This presentation will provide an overview of all tools in development and the integrated nature of the applications based on the underlying chemistry data.

The European MassBank server (www.massbank.eu) was founded in 2012 by the NORMAN Network (www.norman-network.net) to provide open access to mass spectra of substances of environmental interest contributed by NORMAN members. The automated workflow RMassBank was developed as a part of this effort (Stravs et al 2013, DOI: 10.1002/jms.3131; https://github.com/MassBank/RMassBank/). This workflow included automated processing of the mass spectral data, as well as automated annotation using the SMILES, Names and CAS numbers provided by the user. Cheminformatics toolkits (e.g. Open Babel, rcdk) and web services (e.g. the CACTUS Chemical Identifier Resolver, Chemical Translation Services (CTS), ChemSpider, PubChem) were then used to convert and/or retrieve the remaining information for completion of the MassBank records (additional names, InChIs, InChIKeys, several database identifiers, mol files), to avoid excessive burden on the users and reduce the chance of errors. To date, approximately 16,000 MS/MS spectra (61 %*) corresponding with 1,269 (18 %*) unique chemicals (*of all open data as of Nov. 2016) have been uploaded to MassBank.EU via RMassBank. Curating the MassBank.EU records, as part of efforts to provide EPA CompTox Dashboard identifiers (DTXSIDs) for each record, revealed several issues in data quality. In addition, the representation of “ambiguous substances”, for example complex surfactant mixtures of various chain lengths and branching or incompletely-defined structures of transformaton products, is an ongoing challenge. While “ambiguous structures” cannot be represented in the majority of cheminformatics tools, we report on proof-of-concept solutions in this work. This presentation reflects on the effectiveness of the original RMassBank concept but also identifies pitfalls that automated structure annotation with open resources offers to streamline spectra contributions from external laboratories and users with widely ranging cheminformatics experience.

High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and non-targeted analysis (NTA) are advancing the identification of emerging contaminants in environmental matrices, improving the means by which exposure analyses can be conducted. However, confidence in structure identification of unknowns in NTA presents challenges to analytical chemists. Structure identification requires integration of complementary data types such as reference databases (either commercial or open databases), fragmentation prediction tools, and retention time prediction models. One goal of our research is to optimize and implement structure identification functionality within the US EPA’s CompTox Chemicals Dashboard, an open chemistry resource and web application containing data for ~900,000 substances. Database searching using mass or formula-based inputs has been optimized for structure identification using “MS-Ready Structures”: de-salted, stripped of stereochemistry, and mixture separated to replicate the form of a chemical observed via HRMS. Functionality to conduct batch searching of molecular formulae and monoisotopic masses has also been implemented. While the increasing number of free online databases are of value to support chemical structure verification and elucidation there are known issues regarding data quality and careful data curation is a very necessary part of the development of these resources. This presentation will provide an overview of our latest enhancements to the dashboard to support mass spectrometry, incorporation of specific datasets (e.g., to support breath research (the volatilome) and household dust analysis), and the value of metadata and predicted fragmentation spectral matching to support structure identification.

In recent years the Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure at the US Environmental Protection Agency has delivered a number of valuable web-based applications which provide access to a myriad of data types for hundreds of thousands of chemicals. The data include property data, in vivo and in vitro hazard data, exposure data, and numerous other data types of interest to the scientific community. To date the preeminent application delivered by the center is the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard) which presently delivers data for over 1.2 million chemicals. One aspect of delivering highly functional mature production software systems is the development of proof-of-concept applications to garner community interest in novel ways of interrogating and visualizing data. These tools include the Hazard Profile and Safety Profile modules which integrate publicly available data streams into a web-based interface delivering information regarding nine categories of GHS data (the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals), details regarding measures of accidental release (including cleanup and disposal), and firefighting measures. This presentation will provide an overview of publicly available proof-of-concept modules and new tools in development delivering access to chemistry-related data to a variety of stakeholders. Specific examples will be provided regarding how data for PFAS chemicals and those chemicals associated with AFFF mixtures can be sourced from the tools.
