Biochem/physiol Actions

AAL-R [AAL(R)] is a FTY720 (fingolimod) analog and a much more rapidly activated sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor (S1P) agonist by sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2)-mediated phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo. AAL-R triggers lymphocytes apoptosis in a SphK2-dependent manner (34%/84% remaining parental/SphK2-deficient Jurkat; 24 h 5 μM) with a significantly higher efficacy than its S-enantiomer AAL-S or FTY720 (%PI- mouse splenocytes = 27/ALL-R vs 56/FTY720 or ALL-S; 24 h 4 μM). AAL-R (0.1-0.3 mg/kg intratracheally), but not ALL-S, inhibits T-cell response to influenza infection and reduces pulmonary inflammation during Bordetella pertussis infection in mice (0.5 mg/kg intranasally).

Type I and III IFNs play diverse roles in bacterial infections, being protective for some but deleterious for others. Using RNA-sequencing transcriptomics we investigated lung gene expression responses to Bordetella pertussis infection in adult mice, revealing that type I and

Recent data have demonstrated the potential of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor (S1PR) agonism in the treatment of infectious diseases. A previous study used a murine model of Bordetella pertussis infection to demonstrate that treatment with the S1PR agonist AAL-R reduces
