Active Ingredient Description
Ponesimod

Ponesimod is a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor 1 modulator. Ponesimod binds with high affinity to S1P receptor 1 located on lymphocytes. It blocks the capacity of lymphocytes to egress from lymph nodes reducing the number of lymphocytes in peripheral blood. The mechanism by which it exerts therapeutic effects in multiple sclerosis may involve reduction of lymphocyte migration into the central nervous system.
