Introduction

Toxtree is a full-featured and flexible user-friendly open source application, which is able to estimate toxic hazard by applying a decision tree approach. Currently it includes five plugins.

Toxtree could be applied to datasets from various compatible file types. User-defined molecular structures are also supported - they could be entered by SMILES, or by using the built-in 2D structure diagram editor.

The Toxtree application is suitable for a standalone PC. It has been designed with flexible capabilities for future extensions in mind (e.g. other classification schemes that could be developed at a future date). New decision trees with arbitrary rules can be built with the help of graphical user interface or by developing new plug-ins.
