Applied with success in a number of areas, QSAR studies have become
particularly popular in the rational design of drugs and
pesticides. Much has been published on the principles of QSAR in
this area, but not on their application s to toxic chemicals.

This book provides the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary
presentation of QSAR studies on chemical mutagens and carcinogens.
It synthesizes the body of knowledge and recent advances in this
rapidly emerging field through the contributions of leading experts
from around the world.

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) Models of
Mutagens and Carcinogens focuses on the use of QSAR modeling in
predicting and designing compounds for synthesis and testing of
cancer drugs. The authors clearly show how QSAR can contribute to
the elucidation of mechanisms, to identifying toxic chemicals
solely by their chemical structure, and to the design of safer
chemicals. The contents include a general introduction to QSAR
theory and extensive reviews of virtually all existing QSAR models.
