Description

Ponesimod is an experimental drug for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) graft-versus-host disease and psoriasis. It acts on certain types of white blood cells (lymphocytes) which are involved in the autoimmune attack on myelin seen in multiple sclerosis (MS). Ponesimod is an orally active, reversible, and selective sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR1) modulator. The drug is in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease. In addition, the phase III clinical trial comparing ponesimod to teriflunomide in relapsing-remitting MS is ongoing.

Ponesimod had an EC50 of 5.7 nM for the human S1P1 receptor compared to an EC50 of 25.3 nM for the endogenous ligand S1P, but had considerably less potency against human S1P2 S1P3, S1P4 and S1P5 receptors (EC50s 59.1 to > 10,000 nM)
