Abstract The authors investigated the inhibitory effects of phthalate esters and alkylphenols on steroidogenesis by human adrenocortical H295R cells, a model of human steroidogenic cells. Dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP) at a concn. of 30 ?M produced a significant decrease in the dibutyryl cAMP-stimulated cortisol secretion (76% redn.). 4-t-Pentylphenol (4-t-PP), 4-t-octylphenol (4-t-OP) and 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) also produced significant decreases in the dibutyryl cAMP-stimulated cortisol secretion by 58, 34 and 40%, resp. at 50 ?M. Redns. in cortisol secretion by these chems. were dose-dependent. To elucidate the inhibitory effects of DCHP, 4-t-PP, 4-t-OP and 4-NP on cortisol secretion from H295R cells, the effects of these chems. on various steroidogenic enzymes, such as C20,22-lyase (CYP11A), 3?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (3?-HSDII), 17?-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyase (CYP17), 21-hydroxylase (CYP21B) and 11?-hydroxylase (CYP11B1), were investigated. DCHP significantly inhibited CYP21B activity at 25 ?M. 4-t-OP strongly inhibited CYP11A activity at 12.5 and 25 ?M, and inhibited CYP17 and CYP21B at 25 ?M. Similarly, 4-NP inhibited CYP11A at 25 ?M and strongly inhibited CYP17 and CYP21B at 12.5 and 25 ?M. Neither DCHP nor any of the alkylphenols tested altered 3?-HSDII activity.
