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.
