Abstract

Putting the brakes on demyelination: Fingolimod (FTY720) was recently shown to significantly decrease relapse rates in patients with multiple sclerosis. This drug attenuates the trafficking of harmful T-cells entering the brain by regulating sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors. We designed, synthesized, evaluated 2H-phthalazin-1-one derivatives (e.g., 1 L) as selective S1P5 receptor agonists; these compounds are highly potent and selective, with good PK properties, and significant activity in oligodendrocytes.
