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.
Diroximel fumarate is a prodrug converted to its active metabolite monomethyl fumarate (MMF), which activates the Nrf2 pathway involved in cellular response to oxidative stress and acts as a nicotinic acid receptor agonist in vitro; the mechanism by which it exerts therapeutic effect in multiple sclerosis is unknown.
