Pharmacology
Anti-CD20 chimeric monoclonal IgG1 antibody with reduced fucose content; binds CD20 on pre-B and mature B lymphocytes and causes cell lysis via antibody-dependent cellular cytolysis and complement-dependent cytolysis.
Diroximel fumarate is a prodrug converted to its active metabolite monomethyl fumarate (MMF), which activates the Nrf2 pathway involved in cellular response to oxidative stress and acts as a nicotinic acid receptor agonist in vitro; the mechanism by which it exerts therapeutic effect in multiple sclerosis is unknown.
