Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is derived from fumaric acid, a naturally occurring compound. Dimethyl fumarate holds significance within the fumaric acid cycle, which plays a pivotal role in energy production within the body. Moreover, Dimethyl fumarate assumes a vital role in the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway, responsible for the generation of coenzyme Q10. While the precise mechanism of action for Dimethyl fumarate remains partially understood, it is postulated to exert its effects through antioxidation. By scavenging free radicals and diminishing oxidative stress, Dimethyl fumarate operates as an effective antioxidant.
