Main Results:

  • Progress in QSAR development for sensitization is limited by sparse, low-quality experimental data.
  • No single QSAR model can be definitively recommended at this time.
  • Experimental data generation for uninvestigated chemical classes is needed.

Conclusions:

  • Robust QSARs for predicting skin and respiratory sensitization require improved experimental datasets.
  • Future QSARs will be valuable for evaluating toxic hazards where dose-response relationships are key.
  • Further research and data collection are essential for advancing predictive toxicology.
