概要 The stimulatory and inhibitory effects of several compounds and lignans isolated from the water extract of Taxus yunnanensis on the phosphorylation of three functional brain proteins (bMBP, rhTP and rCRMP-2) by glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) were quantitatively compared in vitro, using (-)EGCG as a positive control. We found that (i) three selected Taxus lignans highly stimulated the autophosphorylation of GSK-3β and the GSK-3β-mediated phosphorylation of two basic brain proteins [bMBP and rhTP], but inhibited dose-dependently the phosphorylation of an acidic protein (rCRMP-2) by the kinase; (ii) these three Taxus lignans showed binding-affinities with bMBP as well as rhTP, but had low affinities with rCRMP-2; (iii) the binding of tanegool and (7R)-7-hydroxytaxiresinol to these two basic proteins induced their novel potent phosphorylation sites for GSK-3β; and (iv) these three Taxus lignans, but not EGCG, induced Tyr-phosphorylation of GSK-3β in vitro.
