Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widely used in modern industry, causing many adverse effects on both the environment and human health. In this study, for the first time, we followed OECD guidelines to systematically investigate the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of the oral acute toxicity of PFASs to Rat and Mouse using simple 2D descriptors. The Read-Across similarity descriptors and 2D descriptors were also combined to develop the quantitative read-across structure-activity relationship (q-RASAR) models. Interspecies toxicity (iST) correlation was also explored between the two rodent species. All developed QSAR, q-RASAR and iST models met the state-of-the-art validation criteria and were applied for toxicity predictions of hundreds of untested PFASs in true external sets. Subsequently, we performed the priority ranking of the untested PFASs based on the model predictions, with the mechanistic interpretation of the top 20 most toxic PFASs predicted by both QSAR and q-RASAR models. The two univariate iST models were also used for filling the interspecies toxicity data gap. Overall, the developed QSAR, q-RASAR and iST models can be used as effective tools for predicting the oral acute toxicity of untested PFASs to Rat and Mouse, thus being important for risk assessment of PFASs in ecological environment.
