Fingolimod, a sphingosine-1 phosphate receptor modulator, increases BDNF levels and improves symptoms of a mouse model of Rett syndrome.

Fingolimod Phosphate Attenuates Oligomeric Amyloid β–Induced Neurotoxicity via Increased Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Expression in Neurons

The neurodegenerative processes that underlie Alzheimer's disease are mediated, in part, by soluble oligomeric amyloid β, a neurotoxic protein that inhibits hippocampal long-term potentiation, disrupts synaptic plasticity, and induces the production of reactive oxygen species. Here we show that the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor (S1PR) agonist fingolimod phosphate (FTY720-P)-a new oral ...

Therapeutic Effects of the Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor Modulator, Fingolimod (FTY720), on Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Fingolimod (FTY720), the Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor Modulator, as a New Therapeutic Drug in Multiple Sclerosis

FTY720 (Fingolimod) is a first-in-class sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator that inhibits S1P-dependent lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid organs. Oral administration of FTY720 shows a superior efficacy compared to interferon (IFN)-β in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), the most common inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) and in experimental a...

Fingolimod modulates multiple neuroinflammatory markers in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (SP1) receptors may be attractive targets for modulation of inflammatory processes in neurodegenerative diseases. Recently fingolimod, a functional S1P1 receptor antagonist, was introduced for treatment of multiple sclerosis. We postulated that anti-inflammatory mechanisms of fingolimod might also be protective in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, we treated a mouse m...

Shielding Effect of Ryanodine Receptor Modulator in Rat Model of Autism

Introduction: A neurodevelopmental disorder, autism typically identified with three primary behavioral consequences, such as social impairment, communication problems and limited or stereotypical behavior. Because of its co-morbidity and lack of therapeutic options, autism is a global economic burden. A short chain of fatty acid, propionic acid formed biologically by gut microbiome. Propionic a...
