Dimethyl sulfoxide, meets analytical specification of Ch.P.

Aprotic Solvent

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an aprotic solvent that effectively dissolves a wide range of polar and nonpolar compounds, including water-insoluble therapeutic agents. DMSO demonstrates the ability to enhance the penetration of substances through biological membranes due to its strong affinity for water. It possesses potential biological activities, including free radical scavenging, anticholinesterase effects, and the ability to influence coagulation activity. Additionally, DMSO is known to induce histamine release from mast cells and exhibits antifreeze and antibacterial properties, making it valuable in various biochemical research applications.
