Chemical structure of the "compound 3d" prodrug
1 min read

“compound 3d” is a prodrug which is phosphorylated in vivo to form a potent sphingosine-1-phopshate receptor modulator. BMS took two previous compounds into the clinic for MS with the goal of differentiating from fingolimod on safety. One potential issue for a previous compound was an overly long (12 day) half-life which could be undesirable in certain settings such as those involving drug-drug interactions. Therefore “compound 3d” was developed to have a shorter preducted human half-life of “only” 5 days.
