Single linear regression analysis was used for chemicals of the MEIC (multicentre evaluation of in vitro cytotoxicity) project, to obtain a correlation between in vitro cytotoxicity determined in various test systems, according to data from the literature, and their lipophilicity. A linear correlation coefficient of 0.76 was determined between the IC50 average values (geometrical mean of two or more IC50 values per substance) of 29 MEIC substances and their octanol/water partition coefficient (owp). Since the MEIC substances were selected from a broad spectrum of structurally unrelated classes of chemicals, it may be possible to make close predictions of the general in vitro cytotoxicities of chemicals from their owp coefficients.
