Abstract Multiple Sclerosis(MS) is an neurodegenerative autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system. The FDA-approved Fingolimod is the first oral drug for relapsing forms of MS. Following phosphorylation in vivo, an active form of fingolimod, acts as a sphingosine 1-phosphate(S1P) receptor modulator, binding with high affinity to S1P receptors(S1P1,3~5). Fingolimod causes many side effects such as bradycardia, hypertension, skin cancer, and macular edema due to non-selective binding. As a cause of bradycardia, a GIRK channel activated by G protein pathway signaling due to binding with S1P1 was suggested. The need for the development of S1P1 receptors which act as a β-arrestin pathway, has been suggested in order to avoid side effects caused by the G protein pathway. A total of 33 compounds were synthesized using five schemes, and Ca2+, β-arrestin and internalization assays were performed. Compounds that show efficacy as therapeutic agents have not been elucidated, but will be used to discuss and improve the results.
