• Description: Applications Dimethyl fumarate is the methyl ester form of Fumaric Acid (F500380), and is a compound used as a treatment for the relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis and psoriasis. Dimethyl fumarate is effective in treating multiple sclerosis by mediating the activation of the nuclear 1 factor (Nrf2) antioxidant response pathway, resulting in neuroprotective effects. Dimethyl fumarate is also used in cycloaddition reactions involving ylides, benzenes and amino acids. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the packageReferences Albrecht, P., et al.: J. Neuroinflammation, 9, 2094 (2012); Chen, X. et al.: J. Am.
