Dimethyl fumarate for ischemic stroke

In a series of proof-of-concept experiments using in vitro and in vivo models of ischemic stroke, we provide evidence that dimethyl fumarate (DMF) strongly reduces neuronal cell death upon ischemic insult through pleiotropic anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective effects [1, 2]. DMF is a derivative of the fumaric acid, an intermediate product of the citric acid cycle. DMF is marketed as Tecfidera...

Dimethyl sulfoxide, diethyl fumarate solution for high dose dosimetry

Background: Dosimetry is a fundamental part of the radiation processing industry. Aqueous inorganic dosimeters have been used for gamma radiation dosimetry such as standard ferrous sulfate dosimeter. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gamma radiation on the diethyl fumarate DEF in dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO solution and its possible use in chemical dosimetry. Materials and ...

Dimethyl fumarate for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

For many years the only drugs licensed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) were administered by injection (interferon beta, glatiramer and ▼natalizumab). Recently, three oral drugs have become available. We have previously reviewed the use of ▼fingolimod for highly active relapsing-remitting MS1 and ▼teriflunomide for the management of relapsing-remitting MS in adults.2 Here, we review...

Persistent shoe dermatitis caused by dimethyl fumarate.

[Contact dermatitis due to dimethyl fumarate].

Dimethyl fumarate is a fumaric acid ester. It been used for some years to treat psoriasis and also as a preservative in desiccant sachets in the transport of furniture and footwear. Its irritant properties and sensitizing potential in contact with the skin were recently highlighted when it was implicated as the causative agent in 2 epidemics of severe acute eczema: sofa dermatitis in northern E...
