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.
Ofatumumab is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds CD20 on pre-B and mature B lymphocytes, resulting in antibody-dependent cellular cytolysis and complement-mediated lysis; the precise mechanism in multiple sclerosis is unknown but is presumed to involve B-lymphocyte depletion.
