Oral fumaric XP23829 for psoriasis seeks USA licensing approval

[jiml]

You are right Caroline there's nothing novel about it it's a proven drug widely used in Germany and now the UK
And your version in the Netherlands

Of course it will work

I read it again, they are talking about a pro drug of MMF.

DMF is, after is has been absorbed also rapidly changed into MMF in your body. That's the mechanism. I now remember that MEF, is the thing that does not work in e.g. Fumaderm. MEF is monoethylfumarate. MMF is monomethylfumarate

I wonder what this XP23829 in reality is... What other substance changes in your body into MMF?

Thanks for pointing that out, I had misread the article and was assuming it was DMF but yes reading it properly it is another prodrug of MMF could be interesting to follow .......they obviously believe it will have similar effects on the disease as DMF ...
