S1P receptor targeting agents
Fingolimod*S1P1, S1P3, S1P4, S1P5Agonist (functional antagonist)[13, 14]
SEW2871S1P1Agonist[15, 16]
W146S1P1Antagonist[17]
LPA receptor targeting agents
Ki16425LPA1, LPA3Antagonist[18]
AM095LPA1Antagonist[19]
TCLPA5LPA5Antagonist[20]

* Fingolimod is phosphorylated in vivo, and fingolimod-phosphate is the active agonist. Furthermore, although fingolimod is a S1P receptor agonist, it often acts as a functional antagonist by causing receptor internalization and degradation [21, 22]
