Fingolimod
- FTY 720- Parent CAS: 162359-55-9
- Soluble in DMSO
- MF: C19H34ClNO2
- MW: 343.93
Description
Fingolimod (FTY720) is a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator that is phosphorylated in cells to an active metabolite with high affinity for S1P receptors, particularly S1P1. Sustained S1P1 engagement promotes receptor internalization and functional antagonism.
Loss of cell-surface S1P1 impairs lymphocyte egress from lymphoid tissues and produces the characteristic immunomodulatory action of fingolimod. The compound is an established tool for studying S1P receptor trafficking, immune-cell migration and neuroimmune signaling.
Key Features
- Prodrug converted to an active phosphorylated S1P receptor ligand
- Promotes S1P1 internalization and functional antagonism
- Restricts lymphocyte egress through modulation of S1P gradients
- Links sphingolipid receptor signaling to immune and CNS biology
Applications
- S1P receptor pharmacology and trafficking
- Lymphocyte migration and immune-cell sequestration studies
- Neuroinflammation and multiple sclerosis research
- Sphingolipid signaling and immunomodulator mechanism studies
