NXC736, a Functional Antagonist of S1P4, Attenuates Brain Injury in Mice with Permanent Ischemic Stroke. (PubMed, Molecules) - "Mechanistically, we found that NXC736-mediated neuroprotective effects were dependent on the inactivation of NF-κB and MAPKs, including ERK1/2, JNK, and p38. Collectively, our findings indicate that NXC736 is an effective neuroprotective drug for permanent ischemic brain stroke, highlighting S1P4 as a promising therapeutic target for ischemic stroke."

NXC736 Attenuates Radiation-Induced Lung Fibrosis via Regulating NLRP3/IL-1β Signaling Pathway. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci) - "In addition, NXC736 treatment reduced the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers such as α-SMA, vimentin, and twist by blocking the Smad 2,3,4 signaling pathway. These data suggested that NXC736 is a potent therapeutic agent against RILF."

Safety, pharmacokinetics and immune modulatory properties of NXC736, a first selective sphingosine 1-phosphate 1,4 (S1P1,4) receptor modulator, in healthy volunteers (EADV-Sp 2023) - "Discussion NXC736 was well tolerated after 14-day oral administration with no symptomatic bradycardia occurred. NXC736 was rapidly absorbed and metabolized to NXC736-P, resulting in the reduction of peripheral circulating lymphocytes."

The investigation of selective sphingosine-1 phosphate receptor 1&4 modulator to treat alopecia areata mouse model (P802) (IMMUNOLOGY 2023) - "Among the five S1PRs, S1PRs 1&4 modulator (NXC736, Nextgen Bioscience, South Korea) was used to confirm its efficacy in the treatment of AA...In addition, NKG2D level was decreased in effector CD8+ T cells. According to this result, we speculate that S1PR 1&4 modulator can be used as a promising treatment for AA."
