Description
AUY-954 is a potent and selective S1P(1) modulator. AUY-954 prevents experimental autoimmune neuritis. In EAN rats, AUY954 greatly prevented paraparesis if administrated from the day of immunization. T cell, B cell, and macrophage infiltration, inflammatory demyelination, and local expression of interleukine-17 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in sciatic nerves of EAN rats were significantly decreased by AUY954 treatment. Therefore, S1P(1) modulation might be a potential treatment option for inflammatory neuropathies.
Uses
AUY 954 hydrochloride is a potent and selective sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P(1)) receptor agonist, exhibiting significant immunomodulatory activity. AUY 954 hydrochloride induces a profound and reversible reduction of circulating lymphocytes upon oral administration. AUY 954 hydrochloride has demonstrated efficacy in prolonging cardiac allograft survival when used in combination with RAD001 in a stringent transplantation model.
