Dimethyl Sulfoxide

Dimethyl sulfoxide, or DMSO, is a clear, essentially odorless liquid with two methyl substituents on the sulfur atom. As a highly polar organic solvent, it finds extensive use in various industries and serves as a free radical scavenger.

Properties Of Dimethyl Sulfoxide

Applications of Dimethyl Sulfoxide

• Pharmaceuticals: DMSO is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a solvent, carrier, and penetration enhancer for drug delivery systems. It is commonly used in topical formulations, transdermal patches, and ophthalmic solutions to enhance the absorption of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) through biological membranes.
• Chemical Synthesis: DMSO serves as a reaction solvent and reagent in organic synthesis due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. It is used in various reactions, including oxidation, reduction, alkylation, and cyclization reactions. DMSO facilitates homogeneous reactions and often improves reaction yields and selectivity.
• Polymer Processing: DMSO is employed as a solvent and swelling agent in polymer processing operations, such as polymerization, spinning, and casting. It can dissolve a variety of polymers, including cellulose, nylon, and polyacrylonitrile, facilitating the production of fibers, films, and membranes with desired properties.
• Analytical Chemistry: In analytical chemistry, DMSO is used as a solvent and mobile phase modifier in chromatographic techniques such as HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) and GC (gas chromatography). It helps solubilize analytes and improve separation efficiency in complex sample matrices.
• Cryopreservation: DMSO is employed as a cryoprotectant for the preservation of biological samples, cells, and tissues at low temperatures. It helps prevent ice crystal formation and cell damage during freezing and thawing processes, preserving the viability and functionality of biological specimens.
