A concise route for the synthesis of Fingolimod is reported. Starting from n-octylbenzene and 3-nitropropionic acid, a sequence of reactions consisting of Friedel-Crafts acylation, reduction, and double Henry reaction, followed by hydrogenation were applied to prepare Fingolimod with a yield of 31%, and an overall atom economy of 82.7%. Graphical AbstractStarting from 3-nitropropanyl chloride, Fingolimod was obtained in 4 steps with an overall yield of 31%.

Radiotherapy (RT) remains crucial in treating both primary and metastatic central nervous system cancer. Despite advancements in modern techniques that mitigate some toxic adverse effects, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans still reveal a wide range of radiation-induced changes. Radiation can adversely affect neuroglial cells and their precursors, potentially triggering a demyelinating pattern similar to multiple sclerosis (MS).

Huntington's disease (HD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by severe motor deficits, cognitive decline and psychiatric disturbances. An early and significant morphological hallmark of HD is the activation of astrocytes triggered by mutant huntingtin, leading to the release of inflammatory mediators. Fingolimod (FTY), an FDA-approved sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist is used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), a neuroinflammatory disease, and has shown therapeutic promise in other neurological conditions.

Background: Immune checkpoint blockade is a promising anticancer therapy, whereas the presence of T cells in tumor sites is indispensable for its therapeutic efficacy. To promote the infiltration of T cells and dendritic cells (DCs) into the tumor, we previously proposed a local cell therapy using chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL19)-expressing immortalized syngeneic immortalized mesenchymal stem cells (syn-iMSC/CCL19). However, the preparation of syngeneic/autologous MSC from individual hosts limits the clinical application of this cell therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor that is currently incurable, highlighting the need for new treatment options.
  • This study explored the effects of fingolimod, a drug known for its anti-cancer properties, on C6 rat brain cancer cells using various tests to assess cell survival, proliferation, and apoptosis.
  • Results showed that fingolimod significantly reduced cell survival and tumor growth in rats, indicating that it may work by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in GBM cells.
