Fingolimod can cross the blood–brain barrier and directly influence central nervous system (CNS) pathogenesis in relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS). |
In animal models of RMS, fingolimod directly promotes myelin integrity. |
Fingolimod exerts effects on each of the key brain cells involved in RMS pathology, and sphingosine 1-phosphate modulation of CNS cells may affect clinical outcomes. |
