About ALDAME

As chemical portfolios expand and environmental safety requirements become more demanding, there is a need for faster ways to understand how substances may affect aquatic organisms. Early insights into aquatic toxicity support the development and selection of safer, more sustainable chemicals by helping teams identify environmental concerns earlier.

 

Developed as a dedicated application for Japan’s National Institute for Environmental Studies, NIES, ALDAME supports aquatic toxicity prediction through a structured online workflow. It helps turn chemical structures into clear, report-ready insights, including prediction results, reliability assessments, similarity analyses, and PDF reports.

FROM STRUCTURE TO PREDICTION

ALDAME turns chemical structure input into model-ready molecular data. Users can draw a compound or enter a SMILES string, while the app handles structure processing, molecular descriptor calculation and model execution.

With support from alvaDesc, ALDAME uses molecular descriptors calculated with alvaDesc as input for its predictive models, transforming chemical structures into numerical information used in aquatic toxicity prediction.

The alvaDesc licence used in ALDAME was provided by AlvaScience.
