Approved drug PDB Ligand Immunopharmacology Ligand
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.

Bioactivity Comments
Siponimod (BAF312) inhibits hERG by less than 10% at 25μM [8]. Screening against a panel of receptors, ion channels, transporters, and kinases suggests little potential for off-target effects.
