• Fingolimod (FTY720), a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) analog, is a novel immunosuppressant drug that induces lymphopenia by preventing emergence of lymphocytes from lymph nodes. Fingolimod is a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 modulator and is in phase III clinical trials for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Chiba, K., et al. "Role of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor type 1 in lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid tissues and thymus." Cell Mol. Immunol. 3: 11-19 (2006). Dev, K.K., et al. "Brain sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors: implication for FTY720 in the treatment of multiple sclerosis." Pharmacol. Ther. 117: 77-93 (2008).
• Suppresses allotransplant rejections and autoimmune disorders in different animal models. Kunzendorf, U., et al. "FTY720—the first compound of a new promising class of immunosuppressive drugs." Nephrol. Dial. Transplant. 19: 1677-1681 (2004).
• Fingolimod appears to promote the survival of human and animal allografts by sequestering T lymphocytes within peripheral lymphoid tissue. Evidence for this mechanism of sequestration includes: (1) fingolimod drives T lymphocytes into peripheral lymph nodes in a chemokine dependent manner; (2) fingolimod downregulates sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs) on the T lymphocyte surface, preventing it from migrating along a S1P gradient; and (3) fingolimod blocks stromal gates on the abluminal side of the lymphatic endothelium.
