In silico methods for toxicity prediction have increased significantly in recent years due to the 3Rs principle. This also applies to predicting reproductive toxicology, which is one of the most critical factors in pesticide approval. The widely used quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models use experimental toxicity data to create a model that relates experimentally observed toxicity to molecular structures to predict toxicity. Aim of the study was to evaluate the available prediction models for developmental and reproductive toxicity regarding their strengths and weaknesses in a pesticide database.
