Active Ingredient Description
Dimethyl fumarate

The anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating effects of dimethyl fumarate and its metabolite monomethyl fumarate are not fully elucidated but are thought to be mainly due to the interaction with the intracellular reduced glutathione of cells directly involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Their main activity is considered to be immunomodulatory, resulting in a shift in T helper cells (Th) from the Th1 and Th17 profile to a Th2 phenotype.
