Diroximel fumarate is an oral immunomodulatory drug used for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is a prodrug that is rapidly converted to monomethyl fumarate (MMF), the active metabolite which exerts anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. It is an FDA- and EMA-approved medication as of 2019 and is currently in clinical use.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters for healthy adult volunteers (fasted/fed), reporting on monomethyl fumarate (active metabolite) following 231 mg diroximel fumarate twice daily oral administration.
