    In Vitro

    JANEX-1 (WHI-P131) shows potent JAK3-inhibitory activity (IC50 of 78 μM), does not inhibit JAK1 and JAK2, the ZAP/SYK family tyrosine kinase SYK, the TEC family tyrosine kinase BTK, the SRC family tyrosine kinase LYN, or the receptor family tyrosine kinase insulin receptor kinase, even at concentrations as high as 350 μM. JANEX-1 induces apoptosis in JAK3-expressing human leukemia cell lines NALM-6 and LC1;19 but not in melanoma (M24-MET) or squamous carcinoma (SQ20B) cells. WHI-P131 inhibits 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. WHI-P131 inhibits clonogenic growth in a concentration-dependent fashion with EC50s of 24.4 μM for NALM-6 cells and 18.8 μM for DAUDI cells. At 100 μM, WHI-P131 inhibits the in vitro colony formation by these leukemia cell lines by >99%. In contrast, JANEX-1 does not inhibit the clonogenic growth of JAK3-negative M24-MET melanoma or SQ20B squamous carcinoma cell lines[1].

    In Vivo

    JANEX-1 is administered at doses ranging from 5 to 100 mg/kg. Evaluation of CPK activity revealed a dose-response curve with an effective dose 50 (ED50) value of 7.44 mg/kg. Mice receiving JANEX-1 displayed significantly reduced CPK and LDH levels. In addition, the infarct size of JANEX-1-treated mice (30.16±2.79%) is significantly decreased when compared with I/R-operated mice (65.64±3.76%)[2]. JANEX-1 (WHI-P131) is absorbed rapidly, and the time to reach the maximum plasma JANEX-1 concentration (tmax) is 24.7±1.7 min. JANEX-1 is rapidly eliminated with an elimination half-life of 45.6±5.5 min. Although the predicted maximum plasma JANEX-1 concentration is 10.5 ± 0.8 μM, which is only half of the Cmax following i.v. administration of the same bolus dose, the i.p. bioavailability is 94.6% and the systemic exposure levels (i.e., AUC) are very similar to those observed after i.v. injection (17.1±2.2 μM h versus 18.1±1.2 μM h)[3].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.41 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.41 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    The following cell lines are used in various biological assays: NALM-6 (pre-B-ALL), LC1;19 (pre-B-ALL), DAUDI (B-ALL), RAMOS (B-ALL), MOLT-3 (T-cell ALL), HL60 (acute myelogenous leukemia), BT-20 (breast cancer), M24-MET (melanoma), SQ20B (squamous cell carcinoma), and PC3 (prostate cancer). These cell lines are maintained in culture. Cells are seeded in six-well tissue culture plates at a density of 50×104 cells/well in a treatment medium containing various concentrations of JANEX-1 (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 nM) and incubated for 24-48 h at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. Cells are examined for apoptotic changes after treatment with JANEX-1 by the in situ TdT-mediated dUTP end-labeling assay using the ApopTag apoptosis detection kit[1].

    Animal Administration
    [2][3]

    Mice[2]
    Pathogen-free 8-week-old male JAK3-/- (129S4-Jak3tm1Ljb) and C57BL/6 J mice are used. Mice are treated with JANEX-1 at a dose of 20 mg/kg (intraperitoneally) at 1 h before ischemia.
    Rats[3]
    Male Lewis rats are divided into two experimental groups of five and are injected either i.v. via the dorsal vein of the penis or i.p. with a single 3.3 mg/kg bolus dose of JANEX-1. The rats are anesthetized by the methoxyfluran, and blood samples (0.2 mL) are collected from rat tail vein before and at 5, 10, and 30 min and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 6 h after i.v. injections or at 5, 10, 15, 30, and 45 min and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 h after i.p. injections.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
