parameterize_schmitt

Get the Parameters for Schmitt's Tissue Partition Coefficient Method


Description

This function provides the necessary parameters to run predict_partitioning_schmitt, excluding the data in tissue.data.

Usage

parameterize_schmitt(
  chem.cas = NULL,
  chem.name = NULL,
  dtxsid = NULL,
  parameters = NULL,
  species = "Human",
  default.to.human = FALSE,
  force.human.fup = FALSE,
  suppress.messages = FALSE,
  minimum.Funbound.plasma = 1e-04
)

Arguments

chem.cas

Chemical Abstract Services Registry Number (CAS-RN) – if parameters is not specified then the chemical must be identified by either CAS, name, or DTXISD

chem.name

Chemical name (spaces and capitalization ignored) – if parameters is not specified then the chemical must be identified by either CAS, name, or DTXISD

dtxsid

EPA's DSSTox Structure ID (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard) – if parameters is not specified then the chemical must be identified by either CAS, name, or DTXSIDs

parameters

Chemcial and physiological description parameters needed to run the Schmitt et al. (2008) model

species

Species desired (either "Rat", "Rabbit", "Dog", "Mouse", or default "Human").

default.to.human

Substitutes missing fraction of unbound plasma with human values if true.

force.human.fup

Returns human fraction of unbound plasma in calculation for rats if true. When species is specified as rabbit, dog, or mouse, the human unbound fraction is substituted.

suppress.messages

Whether or not the output message is suppressed.

minimum.Funbound.plasma

Monte Carlo draws less than this value are set equal to this value (default is 0.0001 – half the lowest measured Fup in our dataset).

Value

Funbound.plasma

corrected unbound fraction in plasma

unadjusted.Funbound.plasma

measured unbound fraction in plasma (0.005 if below limit of detection)

Pow

octonol:water partition coefficient (not log transformed)

pKa_Donor

compound H dissociation equilibirum constant(s)

pKa_Accept

compound H association equilibirum constant(s)

MA

phospholipid:water distribution coefficient, membrane affinity

Fprotein.plasma

protein fraction in plasma

plasma.pH

pH of the plasma
