The effects of the thiocarbamate fungicides, thiram, ziram, ferbam, maneb, and zineb, on norepinephrine synthesis by laying hens were investigated.
Inhibition experiments with dopamine beta-hydroxylase purified from chicken adrenals indicated that thiram, ziram, and ferbam are potent competitive inhibitors with the substrate the substrate ascorbate.

As one biochemical indicator of the toxicity, dopamine-beta-hydroxylase is inhibited in the brain.
It appeared that ferbam, maneb, nabam, zineb, disulfiram, thiram and ethylene thiourea did not change significantly D2-receptor binding at doses which were already overtly toxic.

The mechanism behind this action may be the inhibition of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase.
