The dimethyl derivative of the immunomodulator itaconate has been previously shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and immunomodulatory effects. In the present work, we evaluate the potential of dimethyl itaconate as an anti-angiogenic compound by using cultured endothelial cells and several in vitro assays that simulate key steps of the angiogenic process, including endothelial cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and tube formation. Our results show that dimethyl itaconate interferes with all the previously mentioned steps of the angiogenic process, suggesting that dimethyl itaconate behaves as an anti-angiogenic compound.

In this work, three bis-pyrrolidone-based structures (BP) were synthesized combining dimethyl itaconate (DMI), the dimethyl ester derivative of itaconic acid, with various aliphatic diamines having a C4 to C12 carbon chain length with the aim of developing novel bio-based building blocks. All three BPs were obtained with a purity >93% and could further be used without performing any tedious purification step, therefore allowing an easy scalability of the synthesis on a 10 g scale. Their potential application was demonstrated in two key areas of modern polymer science: (1) the enzymatic synthesis of polyesters and (2) their use as poly(lactic acid) (PLA) additives.

We have developed two monoclonal antibodies, CPTC-2MeSC-1 and CPTC-2MeSC-2, against itaconate and its conjugates with sulfhydryl-containing biomolecules such as cysteines. Itaconate is a dicarboxylic acid metabolite that has recently gained much interest for its anti-inflammatory properties in many biological models. We have synthesized an itaconate-cysteine conjugate ITA-Cys designed to mimic in vivo Michael adducts of itaconate.

The development of biobased polyesters with the combination of high UV shielding and degradability is a significant challenge. Herein, three 4-membered cyclic monomers containing two pyrrolidone and two furan rings were prepared by the aza-Michael addition of biobased bifuran diamine and dimethyl itaconate (DMI). They were available in melt polycondensation reactions with various diols to synthesize biobased polyesters.

Neural sensitization can cause neuroinflammation, which is a type of inflammation that occurs in both the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dimethyl itaconate (DMI) on the expression of NGFI-A and NGFI-B and inflammatory cytokines in the spinal cord in the formalin test. The rats were divided into five groups: control, formalin, DMI 10 mg/kg + formalin, DMI 20 mg/kg + formalin and diclofenac sodium 10 mg/kg + formalin.

Itaconate is produced as endogenous metabolite by decarboxylation of the citric acid cycle intermediate cis-aconitate. As itaconate has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties, this substance is considered as potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of inflammation in various diseases including traumatic brain injury and stroke. To test for potential adverse effects of itaconate on the viability and metabolism of brain cells, we investigated whether itaconate or its membrane permeable derivatives dimethyl itaconate (DI) and 4-octyl itaconate (OI) may affect the basal glucose and glutathione (GSH) metabolism of cultured primary astrocytes.
