Dimethoate is an anticholinesterase which disables cholinesterase, an enzyme essential for central nervous system function. It is an organophosphate pesticide that is acaricidal against Kanzawa spider mites. It acts as a contact and systemic insecticide effective against a broad range of insects and mites when applied on a wide range of crops. Dimethoate (50-200 μM) reduces motility and viability and induces abnormal morphology of rat sperm. It also increases production of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduces superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) activities in rat epididymal sperm. Dimethoate also induces formation of carcinomas in the adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary glands of male and female rats as well as testicular atrophy, chronic renal disease, polyarteritis, and parathyroid hyperplasia in male rats.
