Mechanisms of Fingolimods Efficacy and Adverse Effects in Multiple Sclerosis
Ann Neurol 69:759-777, Cohen, J.A. & Chun, J., 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These findings suggest that S1PR modulation by fingolimod in both the immune system and CNS, producing a combination of beneficial anti-inflammatory and possibly neuroprotective/reparative effects, may contribute to its efficacy in MS. In clinical trials, fingolimod was generally safe and well tolerated. Its interaction with S1PRs in a variety of tissues largely accounts for the reported adverse effects, which were seen more frequently with doses 2.5 to 10x the approved 0.5mg dose. Fingolimod�s unique mechanism of action distinguishes it from all other currently approved MS therapies.
