CYM-5442 is anovel, potent and highly-selective S1P1 (Spingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor 1) agonist which reduces the severity of acute GVHD by inhibiting macrophage recruitment. CYM-5442 prevented aGVHD but only markedly inhibited it. Tissue macrophages originate from monocytes, which migrate less when treated with CYM-5442 because it downregulates the expression of CCL2 and CCL7 in endothelial cells. CYM-5442 could be a possible course of treatment for aGVHD.

Biological Activity
| Targets | Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P1) receptor ( EC50 = 1.35 nM ) |
| ln Vitro | Treatment with CYM5442 (0.5 μM; 0-60 min; HEK293 cells) stimulates S1P1 phosphorylation in a time-dependent manner in P32 orthophosphate-labeled cells [1]. Medium/p44-MAPK phosphorylation, EC50 is 46 nM. The alanine R120 (R120A) mutant retained p42/p44-MAPK activity (EC50 of 67 nM) when stained with CYM5442. CYM5442 activates p42/p44-MAPK in E121A S1P1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with an average EC50 value of 134 nM [1]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell line: HEK293 cells stably expressing S1P1 fused to GFP at the carboxyl terminus Concentration: 0.5 µM Incubation time: 0 min, 2 min, 5 min, 10 min, 30 min, 60 min Results: in time Stimulates S1P1 phosphorylation in a dependent manner. |
| ln Vivo | CYM5442 (1 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; daily; for 5 days; male albinism Wistar status) treatment showed preservation of courtyard function at the courtyard evoked potential (VEP). CYM-treated animals compared to vehicle The fibrous layer (RNFL) is significantly thicker [2]. 1 mg/kg Administration: intraperitoneal injection; daily; continued for 5 days Results: Visual evoked potential (VEP) showed preservation of visual function. The number of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) increased significantly. |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Line: HEK293 cells stably expressing S1P1 fused to GFP on the carboxy-terminus Concentration: 0.5 µM Incubation Time: 0 minutes, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes Result: Stimulated S1P1 phosphorylation in a time-dependent manner. |
| Animal Protocol |
Adult male albino Wistar rats (8-10 weeks old; 180-230 g) infected ocular endothelin-1 (ET-1) 1 mg/kg Intraperitoneal injection; daily; for 5 days |
