FTY720 {fingolimod hydrochloride, 2-amino-2-[2-(4-octylphenyl)ethyl]propane-1,3-diol hydrochloride}, a novel immunosuppressant, was discovered by chemical modification based on the structure activity relationships of ISP-I (myriocin), a metabolite of the fungus Isaria sinclairii. This short perspective provides insights to the various strategies available in the literature for the synthesis of FTY720 and its analogues.1 Introduction2 Classification of Immunosuppressive Drugs3 The Rise of FTY7204 Different Synthetic Strategies for FTY7205 Analogues of FTY7206 Binding Studies of FTY7207 Mode of Action8 Conclusion
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
