Overview

Ponesimod is a selective sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 modulator indicated in the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis in adults. Ponesimod was developed out of a need for a more selective modulator of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 than fingolimod. Fingolimod's activity at sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 3 was suspected to be responsible for a portion of it's adverse effects, and so more selective modulators were developed. Ponesimod was granted FDA approval on 18 March 2021.

Indication

Ponesimod is indicated to treat adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease.
