sphingosine/headache

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a pleiotropic mediator that is critically involved in the development of an inflammatory response in various pathological conditions. We hypothesize that during the course of multiple sclerosis (MS) development, chronic inflammation will result in the alteration of

The sphingosine-1-phosphate 1 receptor (S1P1R ) is expressed by lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and vascular endothelial cells and plays a role in the regulation of chronic inflammation and lymphocyte egress from peripheral lymphoid organs. Ozanimod is an oral selective modulator of S1P1R and S1P5R

BACKGROUND Modulation of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors in a non-selective manner decreases disease activity in patients with multiple sclerosis but has potential safety concerns. We assessed the safety and efficacy of the oral selective S1P receptor modulator ozanimod in patients with

BACKGROUND Fingolimod (Gilenya®, FTY720) is an oral sphingosine-1-phosphate analogue that was approved by the FDA in 2010 for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Fingolimod's mechanism of action is primarily related to lymphocyte sequestration in primary and secondary

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess in healthy subjects the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ponesimod, an oral selective sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) modulator in development for multiple sclerosis, by using an uptitration scheme up to

Fingolimod is the first oral disease-modifying drug approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The drug is usually well tolerated, and common adverse effects include bradycardia, headache, influenza, diarrhea, back pain, increased liver enzyme levels, and cough. Fingolimod is thought to

Fingolimod was the first oral medication approved for management of multiple sclerosis and is currently used by tens of thousands patients worldwide. Fingolimod acts via the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor, maintaining peripheral lymphocytes entrapped in the lymph nodes. In consequence, there

BACKGROUND Amiselimod, an oral selective sphingosine-1-phosphate 1 receptor modulator, suppressed disease activity dose-dependently without clinically relevant bradyarrhythmia in a 24-week phase 2, placebo-controlled study in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. OBJECTIVE To assess safety and

BACKGROUND Ozanimod (RPC1063) is an oral agonist of the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor subtypes 1 and 5 that induces peripheral lymphocyte sequestration, potentially decreasing the number of activated lymphocytes circulating to the gastrointestinal tract. METHODS We conducted a double-blind,

BACKGROUND Patients with multiple sclerosis, a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with autoimmune pathogenesis, have shown partial response to a number of immunomodulating treatments, but the search for more effective, safe, and convenient therapeutic options

BACKGROUND Migraine is a prevalent, disabling type of primary headache disorder associated with a high socioeconomic burden. The clinical management of migraine is challenging. This study was to identify potential serum lipidomic biomarkers of migraine. METHODS The serum lipidomic profile of

BACKGROUND Fingolimod is an oral sphingosine-1-phosphate-receptor modulator, which has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials and has recently been approved for multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment in Kuwait. Post-marketing studies are important to demonstrate real-life efficacy and
