Computational Analysis of S1PR1 SNPs Reveals Drug Binding Modes Relevant to Multiple Sclerosis Treatment.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by myelin and axonal damage with a globally rising incidence. While there is no known cure for MS, various disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) exist, including those targeting Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptors (S1PRs), which play important roles in immune response, CNS function, and cardiovascular regulation. This study focuses on understanding how nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs1299231517, rs1323297044, rs1223284736, rs1202284551, rs1209378712, rs201200746, and rs1461490142) in the S1PR1's active site affect the binding of endogenous ligands, as well as different drugs used in MS management. Methods: Extensive molecular dynamics simulat
