$ABSTRACT An aqueous extract was prepared from the mucosa of rabbit small intestine by homogenization and centrifugation at 105,000 g. After precipitation with ammonium sulfate, the 0–50 fraction (F1) and the supernatant (F2) were collected, dialysed against a phosphate buffer and tested on rats in vitro and mice in vivo. The F1 fraction was found to inhibit thymidine incorporation into rat intestinal DNA in vitro, but this effect was not found to be tissue specific (liver, kidney). Two hours after a single injection of F1 (10 mg protein content), the uptake of tritiated thymidine was decreased in jejunal and colonic DNA in mice. This effect was maximal between 2 and 4 hr and totally reversible after 7 hr; this effect was found in neither the kidney nor the testis. A slowing of cellular migration was also noticed in the jejunum and the colon. Conversely, the F2 fraction did not inhibit the synthesis of jejunal and colonic DNA either in vitro or in vivo. Our results suggest that the F1 fraction of the aqueous extract of rabbit small intestine contains one or more substances which may act either on intestinal DNA synthesis or on the G1–S transition of the cellular cycle in the mouse intestine. This reversible and specific intestinal action appears to inhibit cell proliferation and presents several of the characteristics defining a chalone.$
