Can anyone please suggest me some new compounds (medical or agriculture related) of interest which needed reproductive and developmental toxicity?

I am planning to work on toxicity in rats. can anyone suggest me some compounds in development process preferably in agriculture related such as insecticides or pesticides, etc.

If you want to delve into a class of compounds, maybe you can take a look at neonucetinoids. They're linked to a range of adverse ecological effects including honey-bee colony collapse disorder, loss of birds due to the reduction in insect population worldwide, etc. I don't know much about the toxicity literature on these compounds, in particular on rats. Just a humble suggestion.
