A comparative toxicity of widely applied organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, n-butanol, 2-butanol, i-butanol, t-butanol, 3-methoxy-3-methylbutanol-1 (MMB), ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, glycerol, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, benzene, dioxane, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, 2-pyrrolidone, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) and surfactants (PEG 300, PEG 6000, Tween 20, Tween 80, miramistin, and Cremophor EL) was studied using a sea urchin embryo model. Sea urchin embryo morphological alterations caused by the tested chemicals were described. The tested molecules affected P. lividus embryo development in a concentration-dependent manner. The observed phenotypic anomalies ranged from developmental delay and retardation of plutei growth to formation of aberrant blastules and gastrules, cleavage alteration/arrest, and embryo mortality. Discernible morphological defects were found after embryo exposure with common pharmaceutical ingredients, such as glycerol, Tween 80, and Cremophor EL. In general, solvents were less toxic than surfactants. PEG 6000 PEG 300, DMSO, ethanol, and methanol were identified as the most tolerable compounds with minimum effective concentration (MEC) values of 3.0–7.92 mg/mL. Previously reported MEC value of Pluronic F127 (4.0 mg/mL) fell within the same concentration range. Toxic effects of methanol, ethanol, DMSO, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, Tween 20, and Tween 80 on P. lividus embryos correlated well with their toxicity obtained using other cell and animal models. The sea urchin embryos could be considered as an appropriate test system for toxicity assessment of solvents and surfactants for their further application as solubilizers of hydrophobic molecules in conventional in vitro cell-based assays and in vivo mammalian models. Nevertheless, to avoid adverse effect of a solubilizing agent in ecotoxicological and biological experiments, the preliminary assessment of its toxicity on a chosen test model would be beneficial.
