PG - 187-189 LID - S1347-8613(17)30021-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jphs.2017.02.006 [doi] AB - FTY720 is an immunosuppressive multiple sclerosis (MS) drug that stimulates the expression of neuroprotective brain-derived-neurotrophic-factor (BDNF). In vivo preclinical data suggest that FTY720 could be beneficial for treating Parkinson's patients, though its immunosuppressive effects might limit its efficacy. Two novel FTY720-derivatives, FTY720-C2 and FTY720-Mitoxy, also stimulate BDNF expression and enter brain like FTY720 but are not phosphorylated, suggesting they will not produce FTY720-like immunosuppression. Using FTY720 as a positive control, we measured low and high dose FTY720-derivatives, which did not stimulate FTY720-like lymphopenia or immunosuppressive signaling. These findings support the further preclinical assessment of the derivatives as potential novel Parkinson's therapies. CI - Copyright (c) 2017 The Authors. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.
