Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Analysis

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a compound formed in the environment as a result of a series of biogenic and anthropogenic production and emission processes. It is an environmentally important compound due to its use as a substrate by bacteria and its potential role in the biogeochemical cycle of dimethyl sulfide, a climatically active trace gas.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used as a laboratory and industrial solvent for many gases, synthetic fibers, dyes, hydrocarbons, salts and natural products. It is a solvent often used for chemical reactions because it is aprotic (having no protons or hydrogen atoms), relatively inert, non-toxic, and stable at high temperatures. Dimethyl sulfoxide is a widely used solvent miscible with water and a wide variety of organic solvents.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a colorless organosulfur solvent that dissolves both polar and non-polar compounds and is miscible in a wide variety of organic solvents and water.

Dimethyl sulfoxide is a byproduct of papermaking and consists of a substance found in wood. It has been used as an industrial solvent since the middle of the nineteenth century. The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved this compound as a prescription drug. It is used under medical supervision in the treatment of many ailments. It is easily absorbed by the skin. It is available over-the-counter, mostly in gel or cream form. It has also been promoted as an alternative cancer treatment. However, some commercially available compounds are industrial grade and contain a number of impurities that can be easily absorbed by the skin with potentially serious health effects.

Sulfur compounds are found in all body cells and are indispensable. It is necessary for a number of chemical reactions involved in the detoxification of the body. As a source of sulfur, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) aids in heavy metal detoxification. Sulfur binds with toxic heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, nickel) and expels them through urine, defecation and perspiration. Dimethyl sulfoxide protects cells from mechanical damage and is required in much less quantity to achieve results compared to many other pharmaceutical drugs.
