Pharmacology
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.
Anti-CD20 chimeric monoclonal IgG1 antibody with reduced fucose content; binds CD20 on pre-B and mature B lymphocytes and causes cell lysis via antibody-dependent cellular cytolysis and complement-dependent cytolysis.
