The purpose of this study was to characterize the developmental toxicity of fumonisin B1 (FB1), a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium moniliforme, on fetal Syrian hamsters. Fusarium moniliforme has been associated with a variety of diseases in animals and esophageal cancer in humans. Purified FB1 causes

✦ Synopsis
A CASE/MULTICASE structure activity relationship (SAR) model of developmental toxicity of chemicals in hamsters (HaDT) was developed. The model exhibited a predictive performance of 74%. The model's overall predictivity and informational content were similar to those of an SAR model of mutagenicity in Salmonella. However, unlike the Salmonella mutagenicity model, the HaDT model did not identify overtly chemically reactive moieties as associated with activity. Moreover, examination of the number and nature of significant structural determinants suggested that developmental toxicity in hamsters was not the result of a unique mechanism or attack on a specific molecular target. The analysis also indicated that the availability of experimental data on additional chemicals would improve the performance of the SAR model. Teratology 60:190-205, 1999. 1999 Wiley-

## Abstract The role of maternal toxicity in lovastatin‐induced developmental toxicity in rats was examined in a series of studies. The first study administered lovastatin at 100, 200, 400, or 800 mg/kg/day (mkd) orally to mated rats from Gestation Day (GD) 6 through 20. Maternal toxicity was obser
Developmental toxicity of indium was examined using rat embryo culture with reference to toxicokinetics. Rat embryos at day 9.5 of pregnancy were cultured for 48 h under various exposure conditions to indium trichloride. Indium was embryotoxic to cultured rat embryos at concentrations ranging from 2
BACKGROUND: Although glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) is used extensively to treat angina and heart failure, little is known about its effects on the conceptus during organogenesis. The goal of these studies was to investigate the effects of GTN in a model organism, the quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) e
