| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Monomethyl fumarate (MMF), a bioactive metabolite of fumaric acid ester, is an immunotherapy for psoriasis that causes decreased production of Th1 cytokines and lymphocytopenia. Monomethyl fumarate was shown to decrease DC response to LPS and decreased IL-12p70 and IL-10 production. | [Chemical Properties]
Off-White Solid | [Uses]
mono-Methyl fumarate can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
- Jumonji C domain-containing histone demethylases (JCHDMs) inhibitor.
- (?)-Xylariamide A, a fungal metabolite.
- (±)-Methoxyfumimycin ethyl ester, a potential bacterial peptide deformylase inhibitor.
It is also a wide spectrum antibacterial agent with a powerful antioxidant activity. | [Uses]
Fumaric Acid Monomethyl Ester is one of the most bioactive anti-psoriatic fumaric acid ester metabolite. Fumaric Acid Monomethyl Ester is potent nicotinic acid receptor agonist. Fumaric Acid Monomethy
l Ester has also been shown to selectively stimulate of T helper 2 cytokine response. | [Application]

ChEBI: Monomethyl fumarate is a dicarboxylic acid monoester resulting from the formal condensation of one of the carboxy groups of fumaric acid with methanol. Is is a metabolite of dimethyl fumarate and used for the the treatment of patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). It also induces the NFE2L2 (Nrf2) transcription factor by binding to KEAP1. It has a role as an immunomodulator, an antioxidant and a drug metabolite. It is an enoate ester, a methyl ester and a dicarboxylic acid monoester. It derives from a fumaric acid. | [Preparation]
Monomethyl fumarate was synthesized by maleic anhydride and methanol. monomethyl fumarate could inhibit the growth of mold, and the storage time of feed could be prolonged. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]

Monomethyl fumarate is an active metabolite of the immune modulator dimethyl fumarate (Item No. 14714) that is rapidly formed from dimethyl fumarate by hydrolysis. It is an agonist of the hydroxycarboxylic acid 2 (HCA2) receptor/GPR109A with an EC50 value of 9.4 μM for inducing calcium accumulation in CHO cells expressing the receptor. Monomethyl fumarate reduces neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells stimulated with TNF, decreases CXCL2-directed neutrophil migration, and increases the expression of the Nrf2 target gene NQO1 in wild-type but not HCA2-/- macrophages. It inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation in keratinocytes, as well as decreases the levels of TNF-α induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA; Item No. 10008014) in keratinocytes when used at a concentration of 1 mM. Monomethyl fumarate (1 mg/day) reduces symptoms of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice and isolated natural killer cells from these mice induced cytotoxicity in previously isolated immature and mature dendritic cells. Formulations containing monomethyl fumarate have been used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. | [Clinical claims and research]
Mono Methyl Fumarate (MMF) is an active component of Fumaria sp. methanolic extract. In Iranian traditional medicine, Fumitory is used widely as a remedy for several diseases including liver dysfunction. The effect of monomethyl fumarate and Fumaria extract was investigated by Moghaddam et al. (2012) against APAP-induced acute liver damage and compared to a known hepatoprotective plant, Silybum marianum and its active ingredient, SM. APAP produced acute toxicity at the dose of 640 mg/kg in mice while pretreatment and posttreatment of animals (i.p., twice daily for 48 h) with monomethyl fumarate, SM (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg) or the plant extracts (300 and 500 mg/kg) significantly lowered the rise of ALT, AST, LDH, ALKP, and bilirubin (total and direct) in serum. In addition, both the compounds and the plant extracts significantly increased GSH content and reduced MDA level of the liver. |
