Biological target:
Pirimiphos-methyl is a rapid-acting organophosphorus insecticide and acaricide, causing inhibition of AChE in target organisms.
In vitro activity:
Pirimiphos-methyl is an organophosphate (OP) insecticide, causing inhibition of acetylcholinesterase in target organisms. The aim of this study was to examine pirimiphos-methyl non-targeted mode of action toxicity in Atlantic salmon using in vitro exposure. Hepatocyte cells were exposed to pirimiphos-methyl (control-0.1-1.0-10-100-1000μM) for 48h. The results showed that the compound acts cytotoxic and impacts accumulation of lipids (steatosis) at 1000μM. Metabolomics screening revealed effects on lipid metabolism (diHOME fatty acids, cholesterol and lysophospholipids), glutathione (depletion), glycolysis and tryptophan metabolism, as well as on several vitamins. At 1000μM, vitamin E levels increased, while folate and thiamine derivate levels decreased. Surprisingly few transcripts were affected by the treatment, with only 64 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showing a clear dose-dependent response.

In vivo activity:
This study was carried out to assess the immunologic effects of POM (pirimiphos-methyl) in Balb/c mice after 28-day oral exposure. Three dose levels of POM (10, 60, or 120 mg/kg/day) were administered orally to mice for 4 weeks. At autopsy after 28-day exposure, there were significant decreases in relative spleen weight and splenic cellularity found at 120 mg POM, but body weight, relative thymic weight, thymic cellularity, and splenic and thymic subsets were not affected. Oral exposure to POM induced a significant decrease in Immunoglobulin M production capability in Balb/c mice. This decrease in antibody production capability may result from disturbances in cytokine balance produced by splenic immune cells. These results show that POM may induce allergic responses by relatively enhancing T(H)2 development and additionally contribute to chronic inflammation by attracting macrophage by IFN-gamma.
