Popis: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is associated with germ-line mutations in the tumor suppressor gene, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) located on chromosome 5q21. Multiple intestinal neoplasia (Min) in mice resembles FAP in humans, resulting from a single point mutation in the murine homolog of the APC gene. The effects of the rationally-designed Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) inhibitor JANEX-1 (4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl) amino-6,7-dimethoxy-quinazoline,WHI-P131, CAS 202475-60-3) on the development of intestinal tumors in the APC (min/+) mouse model of FAP were examined. The Min mice were fed with rodent chow or chow supplemented with JANEX-1 once a week starting at 1.5 months of age. The cumulative proportions of mice remaining alive at 7 months were 13 ± 6% for control mice versus 72 ± 12% for JANEX-1 treated mice (P
