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...
متن کاملSphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator, fingolimod (FTY720), provides a new therapeutic approach for autoimmune diseases
FTY720 (Fingolimod) is the first of a new immunomodulator class: sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator. We have found FTY720 by chemical modification of a natural product, myriocin derived from Isaria sinclairii, a kind of vegetative wasp. FTY720 is orally active and is highly effective in various autoimmune disease models including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), ad...
متن کاملRole of Sphingosine 1-Phosphate (S1P) Receptor 1 in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis —II
Therapeutic administration of fingolimod hydrochloride (FTY720), the functional antagonist at sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor 1 (S1P1) shows a marked improving effect on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) in C57BL/6 mice. However, this treatment showed an only partial inhibition of Th1/Th17 cell infiltration into the centr...
متن کاملRole of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and effects of fingolimod, an S1P receptor 1 functional antagonist in lymphocyte circulation and autoimmune diseases
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a multi-functional phospholipid mediator, is generated from sphingosine by sphingosine kinases and binds to five known G protein-coupled S1P receptors (S1P1, S1P2, S1P3, S1P4, and S1P5). It is widely accepted that S1P receptor 1 (S1P1) plays an essential role in lymphocyte egress from the secondary lymphoid organs (SLO) and thymus, because lymphocyte egress from t...
متن کاملSphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor 1 as a Useful Target for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a lysophospholipid mediator, is generated from sphingosine by sphingosine kinases and binds five known cell surface receptors. S1P receptor 1 (S1P1) plays an essential role in lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid organs (SLO), as evinced by the inability of lymphocytes to exit from the SLO in mice lacking lymphocytic S1P1. Fingolimod hydrochloride (FTY720) is...
