I realize that. I have a list of 60 different known teratogenic and non-
teratogenic compounds, and I would like to find a classification scheme other
that teratogenicity. I have tried using Gonbar et. al's QSAR model of class-
ification, but only 5 of my 60 compounds are listed in thier report. I needed
definitions of the previous terms so that I could classify the rest of the
compounds according to thier model. If anyone is aware of any other class-
ification schemes, please let me know.
