Bioactivity Comments
In in vitro β-arrestin recruitment assays APD334 has no measurable activity at S1P2 and S1P3 receptors, and low activity at S1P4 receptors [2]. EC50 for S1P5 receptors is around 4-fold lower than for the primary target S1P1. APD334 has similar ability to induce cAMP accumulation across S1P1 receptors from species including human, rat, mouse, monkey and dog. APD334 produces robust lymphocyte lowering in several preclinical species, and is effective in a mouse experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis [2].
