FTY720 is a potent sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors agonist that reverses the effects of BCR-ABL kinase.  It is phosphorylated by sphingosine kinase, which then acts as a potent agonist at four of the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors (S1P1, S1P3, S1P4, and S1P5.) FTY720 is a novel immunomodulating agent that prolongs allograft transplant survival in numerous models by inhibiting lymphocyte emigration from lymphoid organs.
