Product Description
Information
Siponimod (BAF312) BAF312 (Siponimod) is a next-generation S1P receptor agonist, selective for S1P1 and S1P5 receptors with EC50 of 0.39 nM and 0.98 nM, exhibits >1000-fold selectivity over S1P2, S1P3 and S1P4 receptors. Phase 3.
BAF312 (Siponimod) is a potent and selective S1P receptor agonist, with EC50 of 0.39 nM and 0.98 nM for S1P1 and S1P5receptors, exhibits >1000-fold selectivity over S1P2, S1P3 and S1P4 receptors. BAF312 (1 h at 1 μM) promotes prominent internalization of S1P1 receptors by 91%.
In vivo
BAF312 effectively suppresses encephalomyelitis (EAE) in rats by internalizing S1P1 receptors, rendering them insensitive to the egress signal from lymph nodes. BAF312 significantly reduces clinical scores when dosed prophylactically or therapeutically in mice at 0.3 mg/kg.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as trifluoromethylbenzenes. These are organofluorine compounds that contain a benzene ring substituted with one or more trifluoromethyl groups.
