Microcystins are strong toxins and efficient inhibitors of eukaryotic protein phosphatases. To determine structure related properties of six different microcystin congeners, we applied standardized inhibition assays for the protein phosphatases I and 2A, and an acute toxicity assay with Thamnocephalus platyurus. Protein phosphatase inhibition and acute toxicity did not correlate with each other. While the inhibition of the protein phosphatases I and 2A was much weaker for [D-Asp(3),(E)-Dhb(7)] microcystin-RR than for the other congeners, the toxicity was one of the highest. [D-Asp(3)]microcystin-LR exhibited only small differences to microcystin-LR. The data show that mechanisms other than the inhibition of protein phosphatases, such as uptake, transport, detoxification or other target sites may have a strong modulating effect on the toxicity of a microcystin congener for a particular animal. Structural changes can offset or even reverse the specific toxicity of microcystin congeners. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
