Toxicophores Simplified

Toxicophore is a portion of a chemical structure (molecular functionalities) responsible for the toxic properties of a pharmacologically activity compound. Medicinal chemists study toxicophores to predict and replace the potential reactive moieties in the early drug development process to avoid the drug candidate's later-stage failure. A simplified version of the toxicophores is attached here.
