Explanation<br />

Pyrimethanil is the approved International Organization for Standards (ISO) name for N-<br />

(4,6-dimethylpyrimid<strong>in</strong>-2-yl)anil<strong>in</strong>e (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC),<br />

also known as 4,6-dimethyl-N-phenyl-2-pyrimid<strong>in</strong>am<strong>in</strong>e (Chemical Abstracts Service, CAS No.<br />

53112-28-0). Pyrimethanil is an anil<strong>in</strong>opyrimid<strong>in</strong>e fungicide that <strong>in</strong>hibits the secretion of fungal<br />

enzymes. It is a fungicide that is <strong>in</strong>tended for the control of Botrytis c<strong>in</strong>erea on grapes and<br />

s trawberries.<br />

Pyrimethanil has not been evaluated previously by JMPR and was evaluated by the present<br />

Meet<strong>in</strong>g at the request of the Thirty-n<strong>in</strong>th Session of the Codex Committee on <strong>Pesticide</strong> Residues<br />

(CCPR). All pivotal studies with pyrimethanil were certified as comply<strong>in</strong>g with good laboratory<br />

practice (GLP).<br />
