Advancing Biodegradability Assessment Through AI

Models

Existing machine learning models built at Aropha, mainly covering biodegradation of organic chemicals in aquatic environment. New models are being added.

Aerobic biodegradation in water

Aerobic biodegradation -- regression

Predicts continuous biodegradation percentages under different times of incubation, based on more than 12,000 data points considering both ready and inherent biodegradation in water. Multiple standard guidelines were included such as OECD 301 and OECD 302.

Aerobic biodegradation in water

Aerobic biodegradation -- classification

Predicts if an organic chemical is readily biodegradable (passing 60% or 70% of degradation in 28 days), based on more than 6,000 data points considering ready biodegradation in water. Data covers multiple standard guidelines and test principles.

Datasets

The datasets used for the development of above models

Aerobic biodegradation regression

Containing over 12,000 data points and SMILES strings, guideline (e.g., OECD 301F), and principle (e.g., closed respirometer) as the inputs. The biodegradation percentages are the output.

Aerobic biodegradation classification

Containing over 6,000 chemicals with SMILES strings (converted to fingerprints) as the inputs and the classes (0 or 1) as the outputs. Only ready biodegradation data with time of 28 are considered.
