Product Description
Monomethyl fumarate is the bioactive metabolite of Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a potent GPR109A agonist. Monomethyl fumarate has potential usefulness in multiple neuro-protective (neuro-protection) pathways and other retinal disease models.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
With an IC50 of 70 nM, monomethyl fumarate totally prevents the synthesis of cAMP produced by forskolin. With an EC50 of 9.4 μM, monomethyl fumarate causes a dose-dependent Ca2+ signal in GPR109A transfected cells [1]. The cytotoxicity caused by 7β-OHC, which includes inducing cell death, decreasing cell viability, inhibiting cell growth, and disrupting mitochondria, is lessened by monomethyl fumarate (25 μM; 24 hours) [3].
ln Vivo
In a dose-dependent way, these morphological alterations (photoreceptor loss caused by bright light exposure) are prevented by a single dose of monomethyl fumarate (50–100 mg/kg; i.p.) prior to light exposure [2]. Both oxidative stress and retinal inflammation are decreased by monomethyl fumarate (100 mg/kg). Monomethyl fumarate has the ability to strongly suppress genes that are elevated in light-induced retinopathy (LIR) through the NFkB pathway, including as Tnf-α, Nlrp3, Casp1, and Il-1β[2].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Albino balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse (male, 6 weeks old) [2] Doses: 50, 65, 75, 100 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection
Experimental Results: These morphological changes were prevented in one dose ( Photoreceptor death induced by bright light exposure)-dependent manner.

Additional Infomation
Monomethyl fumarate is a dicarboxylic acid monoester resulting from the formal condensation of one of the carboxy groups of fumaric acid with methanol. Is is a metabolite of dimethyl fumarate and used for the the treatment of patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). It also induces the NFE2L2 (Nrf2) transcription factor by binding to KEAP1. It has a role as an immunomodulator, an antioxidant and a drug metabolite. It is an enoate ester, a methyl ester and a dicarboxylic acid monoester. It is functionally related to a fumaric acid.
Monomethyl fumarate has been reported in Amesia nigricolor, Rothmannia longiflora, and other organisms with data available.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~50 mg/mL (~384.32 mM)

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (19.22 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (19.22 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
