Pyrazole-carboxamide-quinazolinone-carboxylic acid (Reg 1) was detected with maximum amounts of 6.5%AR at DAT-119 in soil Dollendorf II, Pyrazole-carboxamide-N-methyl-quinazolinone (Reg 2) with 14.6%AR at DAT-91 in soil Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a, test substance-amide (Reg 3) with 6.9%AR at DAT-62 in soil Hanscheiderhof, test substance-carboxylic acid (Reg 4)with 47.8%AR at DAT-62 in soil Dollendorf II, Pyrazole-carboxamide-desmethyl-amide-carboxylic acid (Reg 6) with 12.0%AR at DAT-119 in soil Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a and Pyrazole-carboxamide-N-methyl-quinazolinone-carboxylic acid (Reg 8) with 10.6%AR at DAT-119 in soil Dollendorf II. Furthermore, five minor degradation products were found with no component exceeding 3.5%AR at any sampling interval.
- Pathways for transformation:
Based on the results of the study, the following pathway for the degradation of [Pyrazole-carboxamide-14C] under aerobic conditions is proposed, with e.g. the following possible processes involved:
• Cyclization of Pyrazole-carboxamide to result in the formation of Reg 2 and Reg 8
• Hydrolysis of the nitrile group of Pyrazole-carboxamide to result in Reg 3 (amide)
• Hydrolytic deamination of the amino group to result in Reg 4 (Carboxylic acid)
• Demethylation of the carboxylic acid amide of Reg 4 to result in Reg 6 (Desmethylamide-COOH).
• Cyclization of Reg 4 to result in formation of Reg 8 (N-methyl-quinazolinone-COOH).
• Cyclization of Reg 6 to result in Reg 1 (quinazolinone-COOH).
• Demethylation of the pyrimidine ring of Reg 8 to result in Reg 1 (Quinazolinone-COOH).
• Mineralization (carbon dioxide formation).
• Formation of non-extractable 14C-residues. - Evaporation of parent compound:

- Details on experimental conditions:
- 1. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
- Soil preincubation conditions (duration, temperature if applicable):.Soil was pre-equilibrated at 20 °C until application (4 days). 8 days from sampling until pre-equilibration
- Soil condition:: air dried
- Soil (g/replicate): 100 g dwt/replicate
- Control conditions, if used (present differences from other treatments, i.e., sterile/non-sterile, experimental conditions):
- No. of replication treatments:3 soils x 2 replicates each soil
- Test apparatus (Type/material/volume): 300 mL glass Erlenmeyer flask
- Details of traps for CO2 and organic volatile, if any:Aerobic Study Phase: Each individual test flask was fitted with a separate trap
attachment, in which soda lime and a polyurethane (PU) foam plug were contained as
trapping media for carbon dioxide and organic volatile compounds, respectively. The
assembly was permeable to atmospheric oxygen. Two separate layers of soda lime
were used, allowing for the collection of 14CO2 emanating from the flasks without
interference from atmospheric CO2. The soda lime pellets incluincluded an indicator dye,
warning by color change in case of CO2 saturation of the pellets.
Anaerobic (Flooded) Study Phase: The test systems were closed with gas sampling
bags which allowed for analysis of the gaseous headspace formed upon anaerobic
incubation.
2. TEST MATERIAL APPLICATION
- Volume of test solution used/treatment: The test systems were treated with 400 μL application solution per flask,.
- Application method (e.g. applied on surface, homogeneous mixing etc.): The test substance solution was evenly distributed as small droplets applied directly onto the soil surface using an Eppendorf pipette
- Is the co-solvent evaporated: No
Any indication of the test material adsorbing to the walls of the test apparatus: No. The complete material balance found at all sampling intervals demonstrated that no significant portion of radioactivity dissipated from the flasks or was lost during processing.
3. EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS (in addition to defined fields)
- Moisture maintenance method:Addition of wagter where warranted. Water addition was not required
- Continuous darkness: Yes
4. OXYGEN CONDITIONS (delete elements as appropriate)
- Methods used to create the an/aerobic conditions: Aerobic conditions were maintained by passive diffusion of atmospheric oxygen through the volatiles trap attachments. Anaerobic conditions were maintained by the nitrogen gas atmosphere in the closed test flasks. In addition, before closing the test systems on DAT-15 (= DASF-0, DD) or DAT-29 (= DASF-0, AX and HH), the flooded soil in the closed test flasks was flushed vigorously with argon gas for 1 minute. To ensure absence of any interfering oxygen, the entire test systems were placed into a continuously nitrogen-flooded box in the incubation chamber
- Evidence that an/aerobic conditions were maintained during the experiment (e.g. redox potential): Oxygen content in the water layer decreased during the study from about 1.3 to 2.0 mg/L at DASF-0 to 0.2 to 0.7 mg/L at study end demonstrating the shift to anaerobic conditions. Redox potential measurements indicated reducing conditions in the soil layer and in the water layer from DASF-29 of the study onwards.
5. SAMPLING DETAILS
- Sampling intervals: For the aerobic incubation phase, test systems were processed at two sampling time points, DAT-0 and DAT-15 (soil DD) and DAT-29 (soils AX, HH), respectively. For the anaerobic incubation phase samples were collected at 8 dates, being DAT-15 and 18, 22, 29, 45, 73, 105 and 134, corresponding to 0, 3, 7, 14, 30, 58, 90 and 119 days after soil flooding (DASF) for test system DD. For test systems AX and HH samples were taken on DAT-29, 32, 37, 44, 59, 91, 120 and 150 days after treatment, corresponding to 0, 3, 8, 15, 30, 62, 91 and 121 DASF.
- Sampling method for soil samples: At each sampling interval, duplicate samples were processed and analyzed.
- Method of collection of CO2 and volatile organic compounds: Polyurethane (PU) Foam Plugs that were used to trap organic volatiles were extracted with 50 mL ethyl acetate each, under sonication for 30 min. Aliquots of the extracts were radioassayed by LSC.
The radioactivity (i.e. 14CO2) absorbed to the soda lime was liberated with 18% aqueous HCl and purged into LS cocktails with nitrogen. For this purpose aqueous HCl was added drop-wise to the 100-mL Erlenmeyer flask containing the soda lime, and liberated 14CO2 was carried by a stream of nitrogen for about 30 minutes whilst stirring.

Additional information
Aerobic Biodegradation in Soil:
The degradation and time-dependence of sorption of was investigated according to OECD guideline 307 in four soils (source: Laacher Hof AXXa – Monheim Germany, Dollendorf II – Blankenheim Germany, Hanscheiderhof - Monheim Germany and Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a – Burscheid Germany) under aerobic conditions in the dark in the laboratory for 119 days at 20 ± 2 °C (mean: 19.7 °C) and a soil moisture of 55 ± 5% (mean: 53.9%) of the maximum water holding capacity (M-465975-02-1). The study application rate was 54.9 µg/100 g soil (dry weight), equal to 0.5 mg test substance/kg soil (dry weight). Duplicate test systems were processed and analyzed at 0, 2, 6, 9, 16, 22, 29, 62, 91 and 119 days after treatment.
Overall mean material balance was 97.2% of applied radioactivity (%AR) for soil Laacher Hof AXXa, 98.5%AR for soil Dollendorf II, 98.0%AR for soil Hanscheiderhof and 98.0%AR for soil Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a.
The following maximum amounts of carbon dioxide were detected at DAT-119 (study end): 1.0%AR in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, 2.5%AR in soil Dollendorf II, 0.6%AR in soil Hanscheiderhof and 2.2%AR in soil Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a. Formation of volatile organic compounds was not significant, values being ≤ 0.1%AR at all sampling intervals in all soils.
Total extractable residues decreased from 94.3%AR at DAT-0 to 84.3%AR at DAT-119 in soil Dollendorf II, from 94.1%AR at DAT-0 to 91.9%AR at DAT-119 in soil Hanscheiderhof and from 94.1%AR at DAT-0 to 90.6%AR at DAT-119 in soil Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a. In soil Laacher Hof AXXa the extractable radioactivity remained constant over the period of incubation with 95.0%AR at DAT-0 and 94.4%AR at DAT-119.
Non-extractable residues (NER) increased from 0.2, 0.7, 0.3 and 0.3%AR at DAT-0 to maximum amounts of 5.2, 13.9, 9.3 and 8.1%AR at DAT-119 in soils Laacher Hof AXXa, Dollendorf II, Hanscheiderhof and Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a, respectively.
The amount of test substance in the soil extracts decreased from 91.2%AR at DAT-0 to 41.9%AR at DAT-119 in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, from 87.7%AR at DAT-0 to 4.9%AR at DAT-119 in soil Dollendorf II, from 92.1%AR at DAT-0 to 55.9%AR at DAT-119 in soil Hanscheiderhof and from 88.8%AR at DAT-0 to 17.1%AR at DAT-119 in soil Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a, respectively.
Besides the formation carbon dioxide, six major degradation products were identified. [Test substance]-quinazolinone-carboxylic acid was detected with maximum amounts of 6.5%AR at DAT-119 in soil Dollendorf II, [test substance]-N-methyl-quinazolinone with 14.6%AR at DAT-91 in soil Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a,[test substance]-amide with 6.9%AR at DAT-62 in soil Hanscheiderhof, [test substance]-carboxylic acid with 47.8%AR at DAT-62 in soil Dollendorf II, [test substance]-desmethyl-amide-carboxylic acid with 12.0%AR at DAT-119 in soil Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a and [test substance]-N-methyl-quinazolinone-carboxylic acid with 10.6%AR at DAT-119 in soil Dollendorf II. Furthermore, five minor degradation products were found with no component exceeding 3.5%AR at any sampling interval.
The experimental data could be well described by a double first order in parallel kinetic model for soil Laacher Hof AXXa (loamy sand) as well as by a first order multi compartment kinetic model for soils Dollendorf II (loam), Hanscheiderhof (silt loam) and Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a (silt loam).
The calculated half-lives of test substance under aerobic conditions were 94.4 days in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, 18.4 days in soil Dollendorf II, 183 days in soil Hanscheiderhof and 43.8 days in soil Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a.
The sorption of test substance to soil increased in the course of the study. The calculated RTDS values (Ratio of concentration of test item in soil [µg/g]/ concentration of test item in solution [µg/mL]) were 4.61, 11.69, 6.71 and 8.04 mL/g for soils Laacher Hof AXXa, Dollendorf II, Hanscheiderhof and Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a, respectively, at the beginning of the study (DAT-0). With time of aging in soil, RTDSvalues increased to 13.91, 38.62, 19.39, and 28.82 mL/g on DAT-119 for the four soils.
The formation of carbon dioxide indicates the potential for mineralization of the test item and its transformation products. Therefore, the substance is not expected to have a potential for accumulation in the environment.
Anaerobic Biodegradation in Soil
The degradation was investigated according to OECD guideline 307 in three soils (source: Laacher Hof AXXa – Monheim Germany, Dollendorf II – Blankenheim Germany, and Hoefchen Am Hohenseh 4a – Burscheid Germany) under anaerobic conditions in the dark in the laboratory for 120 days at 20 ± 2 °C (mean: 20.1 °C) applying an aerobic incubation phase of 15 days for soil Dollendorf II and 29 days for soils Laacher Hof AXXa and Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a (soil moisture 55 ± 5% of the maximum water holding capacity) before the start of the anaerobic incubation phase (total study period 135 days for soil Dollendorf II and 149 days for soils Laacher Hof AXXa and Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a) (M-478837-01-1). The study application rate was 53.3 µg/100 g soil (dry weight), equal to 0.5 mg test substance/kg soil (dry weight).
During the aerobic incubation phase, duplicate test systems were processed and analyzed at 0 and 15 days (soil Dollendorf II) or 29 days (soils Laacher Hof AXXa and Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a) after treatment (DAT). During the anaerobic incubation phase, duplicate test systems were processed and analyzed at DAT-15, DAT-18, DAT-22, DAT-29, DAT-45, DAT-73, DAT-105 and DAT-134, corresponding to 0, 3, 7, 14, 30, 58, 90 and 119 days after soil flooding (DASF) for soil Dollendorf II. For soils Laacher Hof AXXa and Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a duplicate test systems were processed and analyzed during the anaerobic incubation phase at DAT-29, DAT-32, DAT-37, DAT-44, DAT-59, DAT-91, DAT-120 and DAT-150, corresponding to 0, 3, 8, 15, 30, 62, 91 and 121 days after soil flooding (DASF).
Overall mean material balance was 99.4% of applied radioactivity (%AR) for soil Laacher Hof AXXa, 99.5%AR for soil Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a and 101.6%AR for soil Dollendorf II.
The following maximum amounts of carbon dioxide were detected at DAT-15 or DAT-29 (end of aerobic incubation phase for soil: 0.1%AR in soil Dollendorf II, 0.3%AR in soil Laacher Hof AXXa and 0.4%AR in soil Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a. Formation of volatile organic compounds was not significant, values being < 0.1%AR at all sampling intervals in all soils.
Total extractable residues decreased during the aerobic incubation phase (DAT-0 to DAT-29) from 99.2 to 96.6%AR in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, from 102.1 to 93.2%AR in soil Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a and from 101.3 to 93.8%AR in soil Dollendorf II (DAT-0 to DAT-15). During the anaerobic incubation phase (DAT-29 (DASF-0) to DAT-134 (DASF-119)) total extractable residues decreased from 98.4 to 92.5%AR in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, from 95.4 to 90.2%AR in soil Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a and from 99.6 to 95.2%AR in soil Dollendorf II (DAT-15 (DASF-0) to DAT-134 (DASF-119)).
Non-extractable residues (NER) increased during the aerobic incubation phase (DAT-0 to DAT-29) from 0.2 to 3.2%AR in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, from 0.3 to 4.7%AR in soil Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a and from 0.9 to 5.5%AR in soil Dollendorf II (DAT-0 to DAT-15). During the anaerobic incubation phase (DAT-29 (DASF-0) to DAT-150 (DASF-121)) NERs further increased towards end of the study to 7.8%AR in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, 10.4%AR in soil Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a and to 7.6%AR in soil Dollendorf II (DAT-15 (DASF-0) to DAT-134 (DASF-119)).
The amount of test substance in the entire system decreased during the aerobic incubation phase (DAT-0 to DAT-29) from 99.2 to 61.3%AR in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, from 102.1 to 60.6%AR in soil Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a and from 101.3 to 51.7%AR in soil Dollendorf II (DAT-0 to DAT-29). During the anaerobic incubation phase (DAT-29 (DASF-0) to DAT-150 (DASF-121)) the amount of test substance in the entire system further decreased towards end of the study to 31.7%AR in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, 29.1%AR in soil Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a and to 22.6%AR in soil Dollendorf II (DAT-15 (DASF-0) to DAT-134 (DASF-119)).
Three major degradation products were identified during the study: [test substance]-carboxylic acid (max. aerobic: 31.2%AR at DAT-15; anaerobic: 44.2%AR at DAT-45); [test substance]-N-methyl-quinazolinone (max. aerobic: 12.6%AR at DAT-29; anaerobic: 34.7%AR at DAT-150) and [test substance]-N-methyl-quinazolinone-carboxylic acid (max. aerobic: < LOD; anaerobic: 11.2%AR at DAT‑134).
The experimental data could be well described by a double first order in parallel kinetic model for all soils tested. The calculated half-lives of test substance under anaerobic conditions were 124 days in soil Laacher Hof AXXa, 116 days in soil Hoefchen am Hohenseh 4a and 79 days in soil Dollendorf II.
The results indicate that the substance is not expected to have a potential for accumulation in the terrestrial environment.
