Description: Ceralifimod, also known as ONO-4641, is a next-generation sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist selective for S1P receptors 1 and 5. In vitro, ONO-4641 showed highly potent agonistic activities versus S1P receptors 1 and 5 [half maximal effective concentration (EC(50) ) values of 0·0273 and 0·334 nM, respectively]. ONO-4641 decreased peripheral blood lymphocyte counts in rats by inhibiting lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid tissues. ONO-4641 prevented relapse of disease in a non-obese diabetic mouse model of relapsing-remitting EAE. ONO-4641 may provide therapeutic benefits in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

More Info:

Biological target: Ceralifimod (ONO-4641) is selective, high potent agonist for sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors 1 and 5, with EC50s of 27.3, 334 pM for human S1P receptor 1 and 5, respectively.
In vitro activity: The objective of the study was to characterize the immunomodulatory effects of ONO-4641 using preclinical data. ONO-4641 was tested in-vitro pharmacological studies. In order to investigate the binding affinity of ONO-4641 for S1P receptors, competitive binding experiments of this substance were performed for the specific binding of [33P]-S1P to S1P receptors (Table 1). ONO-4641 inhibited the specific binding of [33P]-S1P to hS1P1 and hS1P5 in a concentration-dependent manner, with Ki values of 0·626 and 0·574 nM, respectively. ONO-4641 also inhibited the specific binding to hS1P4, but the Ki value of ONO-4641 was 28·8 nM, approximately 50 times higher than those for hS1P1 and hS1P5. Conversely, the inhibitory rate of ONO-4641 on the specific binding of [33P]-S1P to hS1P2 and hS1P3 was less than 50% even at a concentration of 10 μM. To investigate the species difference between human and rat, the binding affinity of ONO-4641 for rS1P1 was examined. The Ki value of ONO-4641 for rS1P1 was 0·772 nM, indicating that ONO-4641 has a high binding affinity for rS1P1 comparable to that for hS1P1 (Table 1). We examined whether ONO4641 also induces S1P1 down-regulation on the cell membrane. Both the natural ligand S1P and S1P1-selective agonist SEW2871 were used as control. In cells expressing S1P1, ONO-4641 induced S1P1 down-regulation in a concentration-dependent manner and by approximately 90% at concentration of 25 nM (Fig. 1a). S1P and SEW2871 also decreased the expression of S1P1 receptors on the cell membrane. The EC50 values of ONO-4641, S1P, and SEW2871 were 0·778, 132 and 118 nM, respectively (Fig. 1b).

In vivo activity: In this study, the S1P receptor modulator ONO-4641 induced the expansion of lung CD11b+Gr-1+ cells and lymphocytopenia was demonstrated in naive mice. ONO-4641-expanded CD11b+Gr-1+ cells showed higher arginase-1 activity, decreased T cell proliferation, and lower IFN-γ production in CD3+ T cells, similar to the features of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. ONO-4641 treatment decreased airspace enlargement in elastase-induced and cigarette smoke-induced emphysema models and attenuated emphysema exacerbation induced by post-elastase pneumococcal infection, which was also associated with an increased number of lung CD11b+Gr-1+ cells. Adoptive transfer of ONO-4641-expanded CD11b+Gr-1+ cells protected against elastase-induced emphysema. Lymphocytopenia observed in these models likely contributed to beneficial ONO-4641 effects. Thus, ONO-4641 attenuated murine pulmonary emphysema by expanding lung CD11b+Gr-1+ cell populations and inducing lymphocytopenia. The S1P receptor might be a promising target for strategies aimed at ameliorating pulmonary emphysema progression.
