Metabolite Identification
Common NameDimethyl sulfoxide
DescriptionDimethyl sulfoxide, also known as rimso-50 or dmso, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sulfoxides. Sulfoxides are compounds containing a sulfoxide functional group, with the structure RS(=O)R' (R,R' not H). Dimethyl sulfoxide is a drug which is used for the symptomatic relief of patients with interstitial cystitis. Dimethyl sulfoxide exists as a liquid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Dimethyl sulfoxide exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Dimethyl sulfoxide is a potentially toxic compound.
