چکیده

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We conducted preclinical and clinical studies to examine the pharmacological, particularly cardiac, effects of amiselimod (MT-1303), a second-generation sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, designed to reduce the bradycardia associated with fingolimod and other S1P receptor modulators. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The selectivity of the active metabolite amiselimod phosphate (amiselimod-P) for human S1P receptors and activation of G-protein-coupled inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK) channels in human atrial myocytes were assessed. Its cardiac distribution was determined in rats, and cardiovascular telemetry was assessed in monkeys. We also examined the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of amiselimod in healthy humans. KEY RESULTS Amiselimod-P showed potent selectivity for S1P1 and high selectivity for S1P5 receptors, with minimal agonist activity for S1P4 and no distinct agonist activity for S1P2 or S1P3 receptors and approximately five-fold weaker GIRK activation than fingolimod-P. After oral administration of amiselimod or fingolimod at 1 mg·kg-1 , the concentration of amiselimod-P in rat heart tissue was lower than that of fingolimod-P, potentially contributing to the minimal cardiac effects of amiselimod. A telemetry study in monkeys confirmed that amiselimod did not affect heart rate or ECG parameters. In healthy human subjects, peripheral blood lymphocyte counts gradually reduced over the 21 day dosing period, with similar lymphocyte count profiles with the highest doses by day 21, and no clinically significant bradycardia observed on day 1 or during the study. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Amiselimod exhibited potent therapeutic efficacy with minimal cardiac effects at the anticipated clinical dose and is unlikely to require dose titration.

Cardiac effects of amiselimod compared with fingolimod and placebo: results of a randomised, parallel‐group, phase I study in healthy subjects

AIM Amiselimod (MT-1303) is a selective sphingosine 1-phosphate 1 (S1P1 ) receptor modulator which is currently being developed for the treatment of various autoimmune diseases. Unlike some other S1P receptor modulators, amiselimod seemed to show a favourable cardiac safety profile in preclinical, phase I and II studies. The aim of the current study was to characterize the cardiac effects of am...

Evaluation and Optimization of in silico designed Sphingosine-1-Phosphate (S1P) Receptor Subtype 1 Modulators for the Management of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting the Central Nervous System (CNS) through inflammation, demyelination and neurodegeneration. Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR1) modulators have been approved for the management of MS. Phosphorylated fingolimod mimics endogenous sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid that regulates remyelination and cell injury. Am...

Cenerimod, a novel selective S1P1 receptor modulator with unique signaling properties

Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1 ) modulators sequester circulating lymphocytes within lymph nodes, thereby preventing potentially pathogenic autoimmune cells from exiting into the blood stream and reaching inflamed tissues. S1P1 receptor modulation may thus offer potential to treat various autoimmune diseases. The first nonselective S1P1-5 receptor modulator FTY720/fingolimod/Gilenya® ...

Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) mediated regulation of lymphocyte egress from lymphoid organs is recognized as the mechanism of FTY720 (Fingolimod, Gilenya) efficacy in relapsing-remitting forms of multiple sclerosis (RRMS). In this study we describe a novel S1P1 agonist AKP-11, next generation of S1P1 agonist, with immunomodulatory activities in cell culture model and for therapeutic...
