Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17631002

JANEX-1 (WHI-P131), a selective Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) inhibitor, has been shown to delay the onset of diabetes in the NOD mouse model. It is a cell-permeable, reversible, potent, ATP-competitive, and specific inhibitor of JAK3 (IC50 = 78 uM); has no effect on JAK1, JAK2, or Zap/Syk or SRC tyrosine kinases. JANEX-1 has a potent inhibitory effect on cytokine-induced β-cell damage. JANEX-1 has a therapeutic potential in the treatment and prevention of type 1 diabetes. JANEX-1 induced apoptosis in JAK3-expressing human leukemia cell lines NALM-6 and LC1. JANEX-1 inhibited the clonogenic growth of JAK3-positive leukemia cell lines DAUDI, RAMOS, LC1;19, NALM-6, MOLT-3, and HL-60 (but not JAK3-negative BT-20 breast cancer, M24-MET melanoma, or SQ20B squamous carcinoma cell lines) in a concentration-dependent fashion. Potent and specific inhibitors of JAK3 such as JANEX-1 may provide the basis for the design of new treatment strategies against acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood cancer. JANEX-1/WHI-P131 also showed potent anti-inflammatory activity in several cellular and in vivo animal models of inflammation, including mouse models of peritonitis, colitis, cellulitis, sunburn, and airway inflammation with favorable toxicity and pharmacokinetic profile. JANEX-1 may prove useful to prevent or alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis (EMS).

Curator's Comment: The pharmacokinetics and toxicity of JANEX-1 has been evaluated in mice, rats, and monkeys. Following i.v. administration, the terminal elimination half-life (t1 ⁄ 2) of JANEX-1 was 103 min in mice, 73 min in rats, and 45 min in monkeys. Intravenously administered JANEX-1 showed a very wide tissue distribution. Intraperitoneally administered JANEX-1 was rapidly absorbed in both mice and rats. JANEX- 1 was quickly absorbed after oral administration in mice with a tmax of 6 min, but its oral bioavailability was relatively low (30%). Topical administration of JANEX-1 (1.0 mg/cm2) over the UVB target skin area on the dorsal surface 15 min before each UVB exposure significantly suppressed the photocarcinogenesis of mice.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20486473
Mice: In the mouse model of airway inflammation, JANEX-1 treatment (20 mg ⁄ kg or 40 mg ⁄ kg) of ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized BALB⁄ c mice via oral gavage significantly reduced the magnitude of the inflammatory response to aerosolized OVA challenge. In the mouse model of irritable bowel disease (IBD), treatment of BALB⁄ c mice with 25 mg ⁄ kg JANEX-1 (i.p.) prevented 2,4,6,-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced IBD.
Route of Administration: Other
Treatment of NALM-6 leukemia cells with JANEX-1 (WHI-P131) at 7.4 ug/ml (25 uM) to 60 ug/ml (200 uM) for 24 or 48 h increased the number of depolarized mitochondria in a concentration- and time-dependent manner as determined by flow cytometry using DiIC1
