Siponimod (BAF-312) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier penetrant dual agonist of S1P1/S1P5, with EC50 values of 0.39 nM and 0.98 nM, respectively. Siponimod induces S1P1 internalization, activates GIRK channels, inhibits lymphocyte egress, reduces peripheral lymphocyte counts, triggers transient bradycardia, prevents synaptic neurodegeneration, promotes remyelination, alleviates demyelination, and prevents the loss of GABAergic interneurons. Siponimod can be used in research related to multiple sclerosis.

    In Vitro

    Siponimod (10-1000 nM; 4-13 h) induces significant and persistent internalization of human S1P1 receptors in CHO cells. Obvious internalization is detectable even at concentrations as low as 10 nM, and the receptors remain localized intracellularly after drug washout[1].
    Siponimod regulates microglial function by reducing IL6 secretion in cultured microglia[4].
    Siponimod improves oligodendrocyte degeneration by alleviating demyelination in organotypic brain slice cultures[4].

    In Vivo

    Siponimod (0.03-3 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; day 11 to day 34 post-immunization) dose-dependently suppresses established chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in female DA rats, with significant efficacy observed at doses of 0.3 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg[1].
    Siponimod (0.14-1 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) causes a rapid, dose-dependent reduction in peripheral lymphocyte counts in Lewis rats, with an ED50 of 0.14 mg/kg at 6 hours post-dose, and counts return to normal within 48 hours[2].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.84 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.84 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
