Towards the creation of an international toxicology information centre.

Abstract A pilot toxicology database system has been created which is accessible on-line via the world-wide web or in-house via an intranet. It is intended to be suitable as a source of toxicological information and to support structure–activity relationship studies, and it can be searched on chemical structural and substructural as well as toxicological and physico-chemical data. Successful completion of the pilot has led to an ongoing project to develop and expand the system.
