Product Description

JANEX-1 (aslo known as WHI-P131) is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of the Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) that selectively inhibits JAK3 with an IC50 of 78 µM and does not inhibit JAK1 and JAK2. It triggers apoptosis in human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. Following i.v. administration, the terminal elimination half-life of WHI-P131 was 73.2 min in rats, 103.4 min in mice, and 45.0 min in monkeys. The i.v. administered WHI-P131 showed a very wide tissue distribution in mice. Following i.p. administration, WHI-P131 was rapidly absorbed in both rats and mice, and the time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (tmax) was 24.8 min in rats and 10.0 min in mice.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Even at concentrations as high as 350 μM, JANEX-1 (WHI-P131) exhibits strong inhibitory activity against JAK3 (IC50 is 78 μM), but not against JAK1 and JAK2, ZAP/SYK family tyrosine kinase SYK, TEC family tyrosine kinase BTK, SRC family tyrosine kinase Acid kinase LYN, or receptor family tyrosine kinase insulin receptor kinase. JAK3-expressing human leukemia cell lines NALM-6 and LC1;19 undergo apoptosis when exposed to JANEX-1, but not melanoma (M24-MET) or squamous cell carcinoma (SQ20B) cells. While JAK3-negative BT-20 breast cancer, M24-MET melanoma, or the SQ20B squamous carcinoma cell line are not inhibited by WHI-P131, it does so in a concentration-dependent way for the JAK3-positive leukemia cell lines DAUDI, RAMOS, LC1;19, NALM-6, MOLT-3, and HL-60. WHI-P131 has an EC50 of 24.4 μM in NALM-6 cells and 18.8 μM in DAUDI cells, which indicates that it suppresses colony formation in a concentration-dependent manner. WHI-P131 reduced several leukemia cell lines' in vitro colony formation by >99% at 100 μM. Conversely, in JAK3-negative M24-MET melanoma or SQ20B squamous carcinoma cell lines, JANEX-1 does not decrease clonogenicity [1].
ln Vivo
There are several dosages of JANEX-1 that can be used: 5 to 100 mg/kg. A dose-response curve with an effective dose 50 (ED50) value of 7.44 mg/kg was found by CPK activity evaluation. The levels of CPK and LDH were significantly lowered in mice given JANEX-1. Furthermore, JANEX-1-treated animals had a considerably smaller infarct size (30.16±2.79%) than I/R-operated mice (65.64±3.76%) [2]. The absorption of JANEX-1 (WHI-P131) occurs quickly; the maximum plasma JANEX-1 concentration (tmax) is reached in 24.7±1.7 minutes. With a 45.6±5.5 minute elimination half-life, JANEX-1 is removed quickly. The systemic exposure level (i.e., AUC) was the same as after intravenous injection, despite the fact that the estimated maximum plasma JANEX-1 concentration of 10.5 ± 0.8 μM is only half the Cmax after intraperitoneal injection of the same bolus dose. The bioavailability was 94.6%. The obtained results (17.1±2.2 μM?h vs. 18.1±1.2 μM?h) were quite similar [3].

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
