Popis: The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) develops interaction profiles using binary weight of evidence (BINWOE) methodology to determine interaction directions of common environmental mixtures. We collected direction of interactions, BINWOE score determination, and BINWOE score confidence rating from 13 interaction profiles along with toxicodynamic and toxicokinetic influences on interaction direction. By doing so, we quantified the 1) direction of interaction and indeterminate evaluations; 2) characterized confidence in the BINWOE determinations; and 3) quantified toxicokinetic/toxicodynamic, and other influences on projected BINWOE interaction directions. Thirty-nine percent (130/336) of the attempts to make a BINWOE were indeterminate due to no interaction data or inadequate or conflicting evidence. Out of remaining BINWOEs, 25% were additive, 9% were greater-than-additive, and 27% were less-than-additive interactions. Fifty-five percent of BINWOEs were explained by toxicokinetic interactions, 12% and 5% were explained by toxicodynamic and other explanations, respectively. High quality mixture toxicology in vivo studies along with mixture in vitro and in silico studies will lead to greater confidence in interaction directions and influences. Limitations for interpretation of the data were also included.
