Ponesimod

General Information

Ponesimod is a small molecule compound that acts as a selective modulator of the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1R), indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis in its finished dose – including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease. Ponesimod’s mechanism of action involves modulating the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1R) on lymphocytes. By binding to and stimulating S1P1R, ponesimod initiates the internalization of this receptor on the surface of lymphocytes. This internalization effectively blinds the lymphocytes to concentration gradients of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), which is the natural ligand for S1P1R.
