Fingolimod is a derivative of ISP-1 (myriocin), a fungal metabolite of the Chinese herb I. sinclarii as well as a structural analog of sphingosine. It is a novel immune modulator that prolongs allograft transplant survival in numerous models by inhibiting lymphocyte emigration from lymphoid organs.{11265} Fingolimod is phosphorylated by sphingosine kinase, which then acts as a potent agonist at four of the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors (S1P1, S1P3, S1P4, and S1P5).{11284} Down-regulation of S1P1 receptors on T and B lymphocytes by fingolimod results in defective egress of these cells from spleen, lymph nodes, and Peyer’s patch.{11738} Fingolimod also enhances the activity of the sphingosine transporter Abcb1 and the leukotriene C4 transporter Abcc1 and inhibits cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity.{11283,14604}
