Where it is used

Documented applications: Uses: Used as a pharmaceutical, a solvent for polymerization and chemical extractions, a paint remover, a preservative for organ transplantation, Occurs naturally in ground water and in grains, vegetables, and many other foods, [CHEMINFO] Used as a solvent for many organic compounds, Also used in industrial cleaners, [HSDB], Semiconductor Manufacturing [Category: Industry], DMSO is not a nutritional supplement. It is used as a treatment for interstitial cystitis, and treatment must be performed by a qualified physician. DMSO is metabolized to methylsulfonylmethane, which is available as a nutritional supplement., Vitrification has become common for cryopreservation of embryos. ...Extended exposure of embryos with both vitrification protocols showed that the DMSO-containing vitrification solutions did not lead to cell membrane damage and death as quickly as the DMSO-free vitrification solutions. To assess embryo viability, the authors recommend that vitrification of early embryos should be combined with extended culture and assessment of normal blastocyst development before transferring to patients., Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a molecule with a long history in pharmaceutics and is now well established as a penetration enhancer in topical pharmaceutical formulations. It is currently used for this purpose in diclofenac sodium topical solution (approved in the United States to treat signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis) and idoxuridine topical solution (approved in Europe for the treatment of herpes zoster). ... The clinical use of pharmaceutical-grade DMSO as a penetration enhancer is supported by the robust data that have accumulated over the past 3 decades demonstrating the favorable safety and tolerability profile. Dimethyl sulfoxide is a safe and effective mechanism for facilitating the transdermal delivery of both hydrophilic and lipophilic medications to provide localized drug delivery., For dimethyl sulfoxide (USEPA, OPP Pesticide Code: 000177) there are 0 labels match., SRP: Not registered for current use in the U.S., but approved pesticide uses may change periodically and so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses., For more Uses (Complete) data for DIMETHYL SULFOXIDE (13 total), please visit the HSDB record page., Use (kg, approx.) in Germany (2009): >10000, Consumption (g per capita, approx.) in Germany (2009): 0.122, Excretion rate: 0.68, Calculated removal (%): 75.1, DMSO is an important polar aprotic solvent. In cryobiology DMSO has been used as a cryoprotectant and is still an important constituent of cryoprotectant vitrification mixtures used to preserve organs, tissues, and cell suspensions.[Wikipedia], Use Classification: Animal Drugs -> FDA Approved Animal Drug Products (Green Book) -> Active Ingredients, Fragrance Ingredients, Flavouring Agent -> FLAVOURING_AGENT -> JECFA Functional Classes, Flavoring Agents -> JECFA Flavorings Index, SOLVENTS, Industry Uses: Laboratory chemicals, Etching agent, Not Known or Reasonably Ascertainable, Cleaning agent, Plating agent, Solvent, Consumer Uses: Solvent, Soil amendments (fertilizers), Household Products: Information on 1 consumer products that contain Dimethyl sulfoxide in the following categories is provided:, • Home Maintenance, Methods of Manufacturing: In industry, DMSO is produced by catalytic oxidation of dimethyl sulfide with oxygen or by oxidation with nitrogen dioxide.

It has low toxicity, a high flash point, and is not a HAP nor listed under SARA 313. A risk associated with DMSO removers is that it is readily transported through the skin and may readily carry toxic compounds present with it..
