Amiselimod

Description

Amiselimod MT-1303 is converted to its active metabolite Amiselimod phosphate by sphingosine kinases in vivo. Amiselimod is an orally active and high selectivity sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor-1 S1P1 agonist, designed to reduce the bradycardia effects associated with fingolimod and other S1P receptor modulators. Amiselimod inhibits chronic colitis via inhibiting infiltration of colitogenic Th1 and Th17 cells into the colon. Amiselimod inhibits lupus nephritis by reducing the infiltration of autoreactive T cells into the kidneys. Amiselimodis promising for research of autoimmune diseases.
