Stressor Overview
The stressor field is a structured data field that can be used to annotate an AOP with standardised terms identifying stressors known to trigger the MIE/AOP. Most often these are chemical names selected from established chemical ontologies. However, depending on the information available, this could also refer to chemical categories (i.e., groups of chemicals with defined structural features known to trigger the MIE). It can also include non-chemical stressors such as genetic or environmental factors.

Chemical Table
The Chemical Table lists chemicals associated with a stressor. This table contains information about the User’s term for a chemical, the DTXID, Preferred name, CAS number, JChem InChIKey, and Indigo InChIKey.To add a chemical associated with a particular stressor, next to the Chemical Table click ‘Add chemical.’ This will redirect you to a page entitled “New Stressor Chemical.’ The dialog box can be used to search for chemical by name, CAS number, JChem InChIKey, and Indigo InChIKey. Searching by these fields will bring forward a drop down list of existing stressor chemicals formatted as Preferred name, “CAS- preferred name,” “JChem InChIKey – preferred name,” or “Indigo InChIKey- preferred name,” depending on by which field you perform the search. It may take several moments for the drop down list to display. Select an entity from the drop down list and click ‘Add chemical.’ This will return you to the Stressor Page, where the new record should be in the ‘Chemical Table’ on the page.To remove a chemical associated with a particular stressor, in the Chemical Table next to the chemical you wish to delete, click ‘Remove’ and then click 'OK.' The chemical should no longer be visible in the Chemical table.

Inhibition of CYP7B activity leads to decreased reproductive success via decreased locomotor activity
Conazole is a class of fungicide that inhibits CYP51 14α-lanosterol demethylase activity in yeats and moults, thereby preventing ergosterol synthesis (Hof et al., 2006). In animals, conazoles are known to be less specific than in fungi since they can interfere with various cytochromes P450 activity. For instance, it is clearly demonstrated that ketoconazole directly inhibits CYP7B activity which induces a decrease in 7α-hydroxypregnenolone (Matsunaga et al., 2004, Tsutsui et al., 2008; Toyoda et al., 2012; Ogura et al., 2016).

CYP7B activity, inhibition
It is clearly demonstrated that ketoconazole directly inhibits CYP7B (Matsunaga et al., 2004). It is expected for the other members of the conazole family to have the same effect.
Some other azoles such as clotrimazole can also inhibit CYP7B activity (Liu et al., 2011; Rose et al., 1997).

decrease, male anogenital distance
Ketoconazole has been shown to cause decreased male AGD in rats following intrauterine exposure to 50 mg/kg bw/day in one study (Taxvig et al, 2008), but no effect in another study using same dose (Wolf et al, 1999).
