siponimod is an approved drug (FDA (2019), EMA (2020))
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Pharmacologically, siponimod (BAF312) is a selective sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist, with some selectivity for the S1P1 and S1P5 receptor isoforms [8]. It is an orally active drug. Siponimod was developed by Novartis for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS), originally as a back-up compound for fingolimod. Compared to fingolimod it has more favourable pharmacokinetics.
Novartis announced positive results from their Phase 3 EXPAND study (BAF312 versus placebo) in SPMS (August 2016- link to announcement here).
The SIPR signalling pathway is important in autoimmune biology.

Immunopharmacology Comments
In experimental MS S1PR agonists decrease the number of circulating peripheral blood lymphocytes [3,6] and subsequently produce an immunosuppressant effect which results in attenuation of demyelination [7] and prevention of synaptic neurodegeneration [2]. iIduced lymphopenia is a side-effect of S1PR agonism. The reduced half-life of siponimod compared to fingolimod, is aimed to reduce this risk
