BAF312 (Siponimod) (Synonyms: BAF312)

Cell lines

human atrial myocytes

Preparation method

This compound is soluble in DMSO. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reacting condition

0.001-1000 nM

Applications

In human atrial myocytes, BAF312 concentration-dependently increased GIRK current amplitude with EC50 value of 15.8 nM and reached approximately 80% of the carbachol-induced maximal current activation.

Animal models

rat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model; Lewis rats

Dosage form

0.03, 0.3 or 3 mg/kg, orally administrated, 24 day; 1 mg/kg, orally administrated

Application

In rat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model, BAF312 starting on day 11 significantly inhibited established neurological deficits. BAF312 at 0.3 or 3 mg/kg caused a significant reduction of disease scores (AUC (area under the concentration–time curve) from days 12 to 34). In Lewis rats, BAF312 (Siponimod) (1 mg/kg) dose-dependently reduced peripheral lymphocyte counts. At the Tmax of 8 h postadministration, the lymphocyte counts were decreased by 88%.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
