A novel series of alkoxyimino derivatives as S1P<sub>1sub> agonists were discovered through de novo design using FTY720 as the chemical starting point. Extensive structure鈥揳ctivity relationship studies led to the discovery of (E)-1-(4-(1-(((4-cyclohexyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)oxy)imino)ethyl)-2-ethylbenzyl)azetidine-3-carboxylic acid (32, BAF312, Siponimod), which has recently completed phase 2 clinical trials in patients with relapsing鈥搑emitting multiple sclerosis.
