Notes: Monomethyl fumarate is an active metabolite of the immune modulator dimethyl fumarate (Item No. 14714) that is rapidly formed from dimethyl fumarate by hydrolysis.{46318} 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.{46319} 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.{46320} 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.{46321} 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.{46322} Formulations containing monomethyl fumarate have been used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
