Compounds that selectively activate the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor subtype 1 (S1P1) for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other conditions, including multiple sclerosis, transplant rejection, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The compounds have a specific indane or oxadiazole-indane structure and are synthesized through a chiral synthesis method that produces enantiomerically enriched compounds.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
