Fumaric acid (trans-butenedioic acid)

Fumaric Acid

Fumaric acid reduces eotaxin-1 in TNF-α-activated fibroblasts via p38 MAPK/NF-κB. It's an oncometabolite found in high levels in tumors.

Acyclic polybasic carboxylic acid

<p>Applications Fumaric Acid is a compound that occurs in many plants. It is essential to vegetable and tissue respiration and also used as an antioxidant. Fumaric Acid is also a metabolite of Dimethyl Fumarate (D464965), a compound used as a treatment for the relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis and psoriasis.<br>References Jelitto, T., et al.: Planta, 188, 238 (1992); Schimrigk, S., et al.: Eur.

<p>Fumaric acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is used in the treatment of bowel disease. This compound is a fumarate, which means it has two carboxylic acid groups and one hydroxyl group. Fumaric acid reacts with copper chloride to form water vapor, which can be toxic if inhaled. Fumaric acid also exhibits antimicrobial properties against bacteria and fungi and can be used as a pharmacological agent for the treatment of various diseases. Fumaric acid's chemical properties are similar to those of sodium salts, which may explain its use in a number of products such as injections or solutions. Structural analysis reveals that the molecular shape of fumaric acid is linear with three hydrogen atoms on each side of the central carbon atom.</p>
