Ziram is a widely used fungicide for crops. Its endocrine disrupting action is largely unknown. 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, isoforms 1 (HSD11B1) and 2 (HSD11B2), have been demonstrated to be the regulators of the local levels of active glucocorticoids, which have broad physiological actions. In the present study, the potency of ziram was tested for its inhibition of rat and human HSD11B1 and HSD11B2. Ziram showed the inhibition of rat HSD11B1 reductase with IC₅₀ of 87.07 μM but no inhibition of human enzyme at 100 μM. Ziram showed the inhibition of both rat and human HSD11B2 with IC₅₀ of 90.26 and 34.93 μM, respectively. Ziram exerted competitive inhibition of rat HSD11B1 when 11-dehydrocorticosterone was used and mixed inhibition when NADPH was supplied. Ziram exerted a noncompetitive inhibition of both rat and human HSD11B2 when steroid substrates were used and an uncompetitive inhibition when NAD⁺ was supplied. Increased DTT concentrations antagonized rat and human HSD11B2 activities, suggesting that the cysteine residues are associated with the inhibition of ziram. In conclusion, for humans, ziram is a selective inhibitor of HSD11B2, implying that this agent may cause excessive glucocorticoid action in local tissues such as the kidney, brain, and placenta.
