Product Description

Ceralifimod (also known as ONO-4641) is a novel sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist selective for S1P1 and S1P5. While it has been demonstrated that treating autoimmune diseases like relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) with modulation of the S1P1 receptor is effective, activation of the S1P3 receptor has also been linked to certain negative effects. The clinical candidate ceralifimod was found to be potent in a peripheral lymphocyte lowering (PLL) test in mice (ED50 = 0.029 mg/kg, 24 hours after oral dosing) and to have >30,000-fold selectivity for S1P1 over S1P3.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
hS1P1 ( EC50 = 27.3 pM ); hS1P5 ( EC50 = 334 pM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Ceralifimod (ONO-4641) has an agonistic action for both S1P1 and S1P5, and its agonistic action for S1P1 is the same in rats and humans. Ceralifimod (ONO-4641) also down-regulates S1P1 in a concentration-dependent way, with a 90% effect at 25 nM[1].

ln Vivo
Ceralifimod (ONO-4641) 0.03 and 0.1 mg/kg groups' clinical scores are still lower than those of the control group. The Ceralifimod (ONO-4641) groups experience a dose-dependent decrease in maximum clinical scores, with scores in the 0.03 and 0.1 mg/kg groups being significantly lower than those in the control group. Particularly, in seven out of eight animals in the Ceralifimod (ONO-4641) 0.1 mg/kg group, paralysis is completely inhibited. Perivascular blood lymphocyte counts in normal NOD mice are reduced by roughly 20, 60, and 80% at 24 hours following a single oral dosage of 0.01 mg/kg, 0.03 mg/kg, and 0.1 mg/kg of Ceralifimod (ONO-4641), respectively. Two of the nine animals in the control group of the NOD mouse model of relapsing-remitting EAE die, and the relapse rate is 90.0%. The control group's cumulative clinical score is 65.4±18.50. On the other hand, no animals in the Ceralifimod (ONO-4641) 0.1 mg/kg group experience a relapse; at 0.1 mg/kg, Ceralifimod totally prevents relapse. Two of the nine animals in the 0.01 mg/kg group in the Ceralifimod (ONO-4641) groups pass away[1].
Enzyme Assay
Ceralifimod (also known as ONO-4641) is a novel selective agonist of the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor that targets only S1P1 and S1P5.
Animal Protocol
Rats: Inducer injections into the footpad at a volume of 0.1 mL are used to immunize female Lewis rats subcutaneously. Oral administration of ceralifimod (ONO-4641: 0.01, 0.03, and 0.1 mg/kg), prednisolone (3 mg/kg), or 0.5% MC is done once a day for immunization days 4 through 11. The clinical score is specifically determined by grading the degree of paralysis on a scoring scale.
Mouse: The inducer is injected into the left footpad of NOD mice at a volume of 0.05 mL. Forty-eight hours later, another PTX injection is given. Once every day for eight weeks, either 0.5% MC or Ceralifimod (ONO-4641: 0.01, 0.03, or 0.1 mg/kg) is given orally to each group of animals that achieve remission following the initial onset. The degree of paralysis determines how neurological symptoms are rated. Animals that are dead are given a clinical score of 5 until the end of the observation[1].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
