Modulators of sphingolipid signaling for the treatment of multiple sclerosis
The agonistic prodrug Fingolimod (FTY720) en-abled the first oral treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis by modulating sphin-golipid signaling. Scientists developed novel Fingolimod non-prodrug derivatives, which re-duce the blood-brain-barrier leakage and blood T lymphocytes. Advantageously one derivative is fully active in the absence of sphingosine ki-nase 2 while exhibiting comparable activity to Fingolimod.
