Figures & data

Figure 1. Number of HTS assays available for the three triazoles within each endocrine activity hypothesis. The assay endpoints available by estrogen (E), anti-estrogen (AE), androgen (A), anti-androgen (AA), steroidogenesis (S), thyroid receptor (TR), anti-thyroid receptor (ATR) and hepatic catabolism related to thyroid hormone (Liver). Not all triazoles were tested in all assays, leading to minor discrepancies between triazoles for the number of assay endpoints available.

Figure 2. Triadimefon: Parallel comparison of predicted bioactivity and exposure and US EPA chronic exposure estimates and in vivo bioactivity. Annotated to show Bins 1–2. See text, , and Supplemental File 2 for additional details on AC50 by assay and bin. Dotted line = cytotoxicity caution flag (1.68 μM or 5.13 mkd). LPEAD, lowest potentially endocrine active dose (= 1800 ppm or 100 mkd for triadimefon).

See text, Table 6, and Supplemental File 2 for additional details on AC50 by assay and bin. Dotted line = cytotoxicity caution flag (1.68 μM or 5.13 mkd). LPEAD, lowest potentially endocrine active dose (= 1800 ppm or 100 mkd for triadimefon).

Figure 3. Propiconazole: Parallel comparison of predicted bioactivity and exposure and EPA chronic exposure estimates and in vivo bioactivity. Annotated to show Bins 1–8. See text, , and Supplemental File 2 for additional details on AC50 by assay and bin. Dotted line = cytotoxicity caution flag (4.6 μM or 4.15 mkd). LPEAD, lowest potentially endocrine active dose (= 2500 ppm or 200.4 mkd for propiconazole).

See text, Table 7, and Supplemental File 2 for additional details on AC50 by assay and bin. Dotted line = cytotoxicity caution flag (4.6 μM or 4.15 mkd).

Figure 4. Myclobutanil: parallel comparison of predicted bioactivity and exposure and EPA chronic exposure estimates and in vivo bioactivity. Annotated to show Bins 1–4. See text, , and Supplemental File 2 for additional details on AC50 by assay and bin. Dotted line = cytotoxicity caution flag (4.69 μM or 5.13 mkd). LPEAD, lowest potentially endocrine active dose (= 200 ppm or 9.84–12.86 mkd for myclobutanil). For graphing purposes, the midpoint of the interval between 9.84 and 12.86, or 11.35 mkd, was used as the LPEAD.

Figure 5. Proposed roadmap for EDSP evaluation of pesticide active ingredients (PAIs). For PAIs, the available high-throughput (HT) hazard and exposure information would be considered first, followed by evaluation of the available guideline toxicology study information before making any priority decisions. Priority decisions could include decisions to collect additional hazard or exposure information, or to make a risk assessment (RA) decision based on adequate available data or suitable margins of separation between predicted exposure and bioactivity.
