What Is DMSO Solvent Used For?
Solubility of Metal and Alkali Halides
Transition metal halides such as chromium chloride and manganese chloride, as well as alkali halides like potassium chloride and sodium chloride, all exhibit certain solubility in DMSO. This property makes DMSO widely used in the field of organic electrochemistry.
Solvent and Reaction Medium in Chemical Synthesis
- DMSO is commonly used as a solvent and reaction reagent.
- In acrylonitrile polymerization, it serves as both a processing solvent and a spinning solvent.
- It is a key solvent in the synthesis and spinning of polyurethanes.
- DMSO solvent is indispensable in the synthesis of polyamide, polyimide, and polysulfone resins, as well as in the extraction of aromatics and butadiene.
- It is also used as a solvent for the synthesis of chlorofluoroaniline.
Properties as a Polar Aprotic Solvent
- DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a polar aprotic solvent, soluble in both water and organic solvents, with strong permeability.
- It assists in drug penetration into the human body and aids in the preparation of pesticide additives.
Unique Chemical Properties
- DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) can lower the freezing point of cells and reduce ice crystal formation, protecting cells from free radical damage.
- It can alter the permeability of biological membranes to electrolytes, drugs, toxins, and metabolites, demonstrating excellent performance in drug dissolution and penetration.
Medical Applications
- DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is widely used to improve drug absorption and efficacy.
- Drugs dissolved in DMSO can penetrate the skin quickly, increasing local drug concentration while reducing damage to other organs.
- DMSO itself has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, blood circulation-promoting, and wound-healing effects.
Agricultural Applications
In agriculture, DMSO acts as a solvent, penetration enhancer, and synergist, improving the effectiveness of antibiotics and insecticides.
Industrial and Electronic Applications
- DMSO solvent is used in the production of Farad-level supercapacitors.
- It is also employed in cleaning electronic components and integrated circuits.
