Bendamustine is a nitrogen mustard drug indicated for use in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that has progressed during or within six months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen. Bendamustine is a bifunctional mechlorethamine derivative capable of forming electrophilic alkyl groups that covalently bond to other molecules. Through this function as an alkylating agent, bendamustine causes intra- and inter-strand crosslinks between DNA bases resulting in cell death. It is active against both active and quiescent cells, although the exact mechanism of action is unknown.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, debilitating neurological disease that can lead to profound cognitive and physical symptoms, severely affecting quality of life. It is the main cause of neurological disability not caused by trauma in the young adult population of both North America and Europe. Relapsing-remitting forms of MS lead to neurological symptoms that resolve and recur periodically. More than 80% of patients suffering from this disease have relapsing-remitting MS. Diroximel fumarate is a new drug from the fumarate class formulated to treat various relapsing forms of MS. This drug is bioequivalent to [Dimethyl fumarate][A187544,L9626](initially manufactured in 2013), but is less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects, owing to its unique chemical structure. Diroximel fumarate was formulated by Alkermes in collaboration with Biogen, and was approved by the FDA in October 2019 and by the EMA in November 2021.
