Pharmacology
Siponimod is an S1P receptor modulator that binds with high affinity to S1P receptors 1 and 5, blocking lymphocyte egress from lymph nodes and reducing peripheral blood lymphocyte counts; the therapeutic mechanism in multiple sclerosis is unknown but may involve reduction of lymphocyte migration into the central nervous system.
Ponesimod is a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor 1 modulator that binds with high affinity to S1P receptor 1 and blocks lymphocyte egress from lymph nodes, reducing peripheral blood lymphocyte counts; the therapeutic mechanism in multiple sclerosis may involve reduction of lymphocyte migration into the central nervous system.
