Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ponesimod, also known as ACT-128800, is a potent, and orally active selective S1P(1) agonist. Ponesimod activated S1P(1)-mediated signal transduction with high potency (EC(50) of 5.7 nM) and selectivity. Ponesimod prevented edema formation, inflammatory cell accumulation, and cytokine release in the skin of mice with delayed-type hypersensitivity. Ponesimod also prevented the increase in paw volume and joint inflammation in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis. Ponesimod may represent a new therapeutic approach in lymphocyte-mediated autoimmune diseases.

Biological target:
Ponesimod (ACT-128800) is a potent and selective agonist of S1P1, with an IC50 of 6 nM, and activates S1P1-mediated signal transduction with high potency (EC50=5.7 nM
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
The effect of preventative and therapeutic ponesimod on the clinical course of MOG-induced acute monophasic EAE was investigated in C57BL/6 mice. Vehicle-treated mice developed fulminant disease with severe clinical signs, which resulted in the death of all animals before Day 24, as indicated by a score of 5 (Figures 1A,1B). Therapeutic treatment with ponesimod resulted in lower overall scores during the chronic phase, compared to vehicle, and a survival rate of 60 percent at the end of the study (Day 31). Preventive treatment resulted in a larger reduction of clinical scores and a 90-percent survival rate. (Figures 1A, 1B). In a follow-up study with reduced overall disease severity (Figure 2A), the effect of ponesimod on cellular infiltration, demyelination, and axonal damage was evaluated in a preventive setting in the brain, spinal cord, and cerebellum (Figure 2B,2C). In the vehicle-treated mice, onset of clinical signs was detected at Day 15 after immunization, reaching a maximal mean clinical score on Day 20. In contrast, mice treated preventively with ponesimod (30mg/kg twice daily from Day 1) were almost completely protected from the onset and progression of EAE. Only one out of the 10 mice treated with ponesimod started to develop minimal disease signs, which began manifesting on Day 26 (Figure 2A). Histological evaluation of the brain, cerebellum, and spinal cord confirmed the observed clinical scores in the respective groups. Compared to vehicle-treated mice, CNS tissues from ponesimod-treated mice revealed few if any inflammatory cell infiltrates, no signs of demyelination, and no apparent axonal damage or loss (Figures 2B, 2C). Prophylactic and therapeutic treatment with ponesimod did not reduce the titer of anti-MOG specific antibodies elicited following the immunization.
