Someone on another site stated that Mayzent (siponimod) is the generic form of Gilenya (fingolimod). This article (see link) states:

Siponimod, a synthetic derivative of fingolimod, is designed for an improved safety profile, including less deleterious effects on heart rate and nerves.


Is a "synthetic derivative" the same as a generic form?
