Monomethyl fumarate [CAS: 2756-87-8] is a dicarboxylic acid monoester compound. It neutralizes reactive oxygen species and reduces inflammation associated with multiple sclerosis. It has antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects. Further, it promotes the repair and regeneration of myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers affected in multiple sclerosis.

Monomethyl fumarate: Use and Commercial Availability  

Monomethyl fumarate is available as an oral formulation under Bafiertam. It treats multiple sclerosis, which affects the central nervous system. It helps relieve symptoms of inflammation, demyelination, and axonal degeneration. It treats autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease.

Monomethyl fumarate Structure and Mechanism of Action

The chemical name of Monomethyl fumarate is (E)-4-Methoxy-4-oxo-but-2-enoic acid. The chemical formula for Monomethyl fumarate is C₅H₆O₄, and its molecular weight is approximately 130.10 g/mol.

Monomethyl fumarate activates the Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) pathway for the cellular response to oxidative stress. Nf2 in the cell nucleus initiates antioxidant and cytoprotective gene transcription.

Monomethyl fumarate Impurities and Synthesis

Impurities form during the manufacture of monomethyl fumarate that may affect the drug’s safety and efficacy. These impurities form during the manufacturing process, purification, or storage of Monomethyl fumarate. Therefore, Monomethyl fumarate impurities must be controlled and monitored throughout the drug’s development.
Daicel Pharma offers a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Monomethyl fumarate impurities and labeled standards. We provide the CoA from a cGMP-compliant analytical facility. It gives complete characterization data1 such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity2. We provide additional analytical data on request. Daicel Pharma can prepare any unidentified Monomethyl fumarate impurity or degradation product. In addition, Daicel Pharma offers a highly purified, stable deuterium-labeled standard, Monomethyl fumarate Labelled Standard. We provide a complete characterization report to clients on delivery.
