Mechanism of action

S1P1 inhibition prevents lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid organs, reducing circulating lymphocyte counts and dampening aberrant immune responses. This mechanism is thought to be beneficial in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions by sequestering autoreactive lymphocytes in lymph nodes and spleen, thereby reducing their infiltration into affected tissues.
