| Bioactivity | Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an aprotic solvent that dissolves both polar and nonpolar compounds. Dimethyl sulfoxide has anti-freezing and bacteriostatic properties[1][2]. |
| Invitro | 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. |
