1. Dimethyl sulfoxide

Dimethyl sulfoxide  (Synonyms: DMSO)

Cat. No.: HY-Y0320 Assay: 100.0%
COA Handling Instructions

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an aprotic solvent that dissolves polar and non-polar compounds, including water-insoluble therapeutic and toxic agents. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has a strong affinity for water and can rapidly penetrate or enhance the penetration of other substances into biological membranes. Dimethyl sulfoxide also has potential free radical scavenging and anticholinesterase effects and may affect coagulation activity. Dimethyl sulfoxide also induces histamine release from mast cells but is thought to have low systemic toxicity. Dimethyl sulfoxide also exhibits antifreeze and antibacterial properties.
MCE provides Dimethyl sulfoxide that complies with the inspection standards (Ch.P) of Part 4 of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 Edition).

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an aprotic solvent that dissolves polar and non-polar compounds, including water-insoluble therapeutic and toxic agents. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has a strong affinity for water and can rapidly penetrate or enhance the penetration of other substances into biological membranes. Dimethyl sulfoxide also has potential free radical scavenging and anticholinesterase effects and may affect coagulation activity. Dimethyl sulfoxide also induces histamine release from mast cells but is thought to have low systemic toxicity. Dimethyl sulfoxide also exhibits antifreeze and antibacterial properties[1][2][3].

In Vitro

DMSO is an organic solvent that is freely miscible with water, lipids and organic agents. These properties allow for exceptional membrane penetration. The mechanism of action of DMSO is thought to be a combination of anti-inflammatory effects, nerve blockade, smooth muscle relaxation, and collagen inhibition[2].
DMSO (HY-Y0320) can be used for compound dissolution, and is not recommended for cell cryopreservation.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
