Any other information on results incl. tables

Pyrazole caused developmental as well as maternal toxicity in rats at dose levels >= 10 mg/kg/day. No mortality occurred at any dose level. Substantial body weight losses were noted at 15 and 20 mg/kg/day. Slight to moderate mean body weight effects occurred at 10 and possibly 5 mg/kg/day, primarily during the first 3 days of dosing. A dose related decrease in mean fetal weights was apparent at >= 10 mg/kg/day. The only external malformations observed were cleft palate in 6 fetuses from 2 litters at 20 mg/kg/day.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Regarding the results of the study, the NOAEL for developmental toxicity is 5 mg/kg bw/day. There were no indications for developmental toxicity in doses below maternal toxic doses.
