Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 S O. This colorless liquid is the sulfoxide most widely used commercially. It is an important polar aprotic solvent that dissolves both polar and nonpolar compounds and is miscible in a wide range of organic solvents as well as water.
Deuterated DMSO, also known as dimethyl sulfoxide-d 6, is an isotopologue of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, (CH 3) 2 S=O)) with chemical formula ((CD 3) 2 S=O) in which the hydrogen atoms ("H") are replaced with their isotope deuterium ("D"). Deuterated DMSO is a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy.

O-bonded sulfoxide ligands are susceptible to oxidation at sulfur. In this way, the weakly bonded ligand is converted into a leaving group, such as dimethylsulfone . Since dmso is susceptible to deprotonation by strong base, cationic dmso complexes might be expected to undergo H-D exchange under basic conditions.
DMSO reductase is a molybdenum-containing enzyme that catalyzes reduction of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to dimethyl sulfide (DMS). This enzyme serves as the terminal reductase under anaerobic conditions in some bacteria, with DMSO being the terminal electron acceptor. During the course of the reaction, the oxygen atom in DMSO is transferred to ...
Paint strippers come in a liquid, or a gel ("thixotropic") form that clings even to vertical surfaces. Solvent strippers may also have formulations with limonene (obtained from orange peels) (or other terpene solvents). Nitromethane is another commonly used solvent. Dimethyl sulfoxide is a less toxic alternative solvent used in some ...
Chelation therapy is a medical procedure that involves the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. [1] Chelation therapy has a long history of use in clinical toxicology [2] and remains in use for some very specific medical treatments, although it is administered under very careful medical supervision due to various inherent risks, including the mobilization of ...
The biochemical effects of supplemental methylsulfonylmethane are poorly understood. Some researchers have suggested that MSM has anti-inflammatory effects. The spectrum of biological effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and MSM differ, but those of DMSO may be mediated, at least in part, by MSM.
