FTY720 (fingolimod) is a structural analogue of sphingosine, an endogenous lysophospholipid, which targets sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors after biotransformation to FTY720-phosphate.

FTY720 is a structural analogue of sphingosine that, after conversion to the biologically active FTY720-phosphate molecule, binds with high affinity to sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors to act as ...
