Diazinon and malathion are commonly used organophosphate insecticides in agriculture, industry, and in veterinary medicine as an ectoparasiticide. The importance to carry out in vitro reproductive toxicology assays lies on the need of knowing the alterations these insecticides may cause at cellular level, since they are endocrine disruptors that interfere with reproductive functions. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro oocyte viability, fertilization, and embryo development with different concentrations of diazinon and malathion. For in vitro fertilization (IVF), porcine oocytes and sperm were co-incubated for 7 h with increasing concentrations (50, 100, and 500 mu M) of diazinon and malathion. For embryo development, fertilized oocytes were cultured in medium containing the same insecticide concentrations during 96 h for embryo development and 144 h for morulae formation. Diazinon did not affect oocyte viability and embryo divisions but decreased IVF (fertilization inhibition(50) = 502 mu M) and morulae formation (morulae inhibition(50) = 344 mu M). Malathion affected all the studied parameters: lethal concentration(50) = 1 mM, fertilization inhibition(50) = 443 mu M, development inhibition(50) = 375 mu M, and morulae inhibition(50) = 216 mu M. The results of this study indicate that diazinon and malathion used in commercial formulation could be toxic, producing impairment in in vitro fertilization and embryo development. This is an approach for further investigations to find out cell damage mechanisms produced by these widely used insecticides.
