mono-Methyl fumarate can be used as a reactant to synthesize: · Jumonji C domain-containing histone demethylases (JCHDMs) inhibitor. · (-)-Xylariamide A, a fungal metabolite. · (±)-Methoxyfumimycin ethyl ester, a potential bacterial peptide deformylase inhibitor. It is also a wide spectrum antibacterial agent with a powerful antioxidant activity. mono-Methyl fumarate can be used as a reactant to synthesize: · Jumonji C domain-containing histone demethylases (JCHDMs) inhibitor. · (-)-Xylariamide A, a fungal metabolite. · (±)-Methoxyfumimycin ethyl ester, a potential bacterial peptide deformylase inhibitor.
