Comment: Mocravimod (KRP203) is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor type 1 (S1P1R) agonist with immunomodulatory potential [6]. Structurally mocravimod is a highly modified analogue of the approved multiple sclerosis drug fingolimod. Like fingolimod it is a prodrug that is phosphorylated in vivo by sphingosine kinase 2 (SPHK2), with mocravimod-phosphate (+KRP203-phosphate) being the active entity.

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Preclinical evidence suggested efficacy in preventing graft rejection [4,6-7] and this led to the design of studies in patients undergoing stem cell transplant for hematological malignancies to evaluate efficacy as an adjunct therapy. Mocravimod was also tested in autoimmune indications (ulcerative colitis, subacute cutaneous Lupus erythematosus and Crohn's disease). |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
The structural similarity of mocravimod to that of fingolimod suggests that this compound may act via a similar mechanism to effectively sequester peripheral lymphocytes and accelerate lymphocyte homing into the secondary lymphoid organ. |
