Fingolimod, sold under the brand name Gilenya, is an immunomodulating medication, mostly used for treating multiple sclerosis (MS). Fingolimod is a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator, which sequesters lymphocytes in lymph nodes, preventing them from contributing to an autoimmune reaction. (wikipedia.org)
This study investigated effects of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator FTY720 on neuroprotection and memory in a rat model of AD. (nih.gov)
Fingolimod6
The molecular biology of phospho-fingolimod is thought to lie in its activity at one of the five sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors, S1PR1. (wikipedia.org)
Phospho-fingolimod causes the internalization of S1P receptors, which sequesters lymphocytes in lymph nodes, preventing them from moving to the central nervous system and causing a relapse of multiple sclerosis. (wikipedia.org)
Unphosphorylated fingolimod impairs the ability of cytotoxic CD8 T cells to kill their target cells by a different mechanism, which involves the arachidonic acid pathway, which is unrelated to sphingosine phosphate receptors. (wikipedia.org)
Fingolimod has been reported to be a cannabinoid receptor antagonist, a cPLA2 inhibitor and a ceramide synthase inhibitor. (wikipedia.org)
Showing positive results in both in vitro (mixed lymphocyte reaction) and in vivo screening (prolonging rat skin graft survival time), myriocin was modified through a series of steps to yield fingolimod, code named at the time FTY720. (wikipedia.org)

Inhibits2
The study, carried out in mice, found that circulation of cholesterol is regulated in the brain by the 'hunger hormone', ghrelin, which inhibits the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) in the hypothalamus and is important for the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure.

Agonist2
Although FTY720-P is a potent agonist of several S1P receptors, its beneficial effects in multiple sclerosis are believed to be mediated primarily through the S1P1 receptor. (drugdiscoveryopinion.com)
Similar effects were not observed with the endogenous agonist, S1P, and by exploring analogues of FTY-720, the length of the aliphatic side chain was found to be crucially important for persistent signalling and receptor internalisation. (drugdiscoveryopinion.com)
Lymphocyte3
Because specific knockout of the S1P1 receptor on haematopoietic cells in mice and treatment with FTY720 show similar effects on lymphocyte recirculation, the efficacy of FTY720-P has been attributed to 'functional antagonism' leading to complete internalisation and desensitisation of receptors. (drugdiscoveryopinion.com)
The ability of the S1P1 antagonist, WN146 - which does not itself induce lymphocyte sequestration - to inhibit prolonged S1P1 signalling caused by treatment with FTY720-P suggests that direct agonism rather than functional antagonism may be the predominant mechanism of action of FTY720-P.
