DMSO, synthesized in 1866, gained medical attention in the 1960s for its ability to penetrate biological membranes and enhance drug delivery. It shows anti-inflammatory, analgesic and bacteriostatic effects, aiding conditions like arthritis and interstitial cystitis (FDA-approved). Early animal studies linked DMSO to eye lens changes, halting clinical trials in the 1960s. Though later disproven for … Continue reading Dr. Stanley Jacob and Robert Herschler examine DMSO, the controversial compound with untapped medical potential
Amandha Dawn Vollmer sheds light on DMSO: A powerful chemical with vast medicinal potential
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a naturally occurring chemical that was synthesized in the laboratory in 1866 by Russian chemist Alexander Saytzeff. Widely studied since the 1950s, key discoveries include its cryoprotective properties (protecting cells from freezing damage) and its ability to penetrate skin and membranes without causing harm, which revolutionized drug delivery. DMSO is amphiphilic (soluble … Continue reading Amandha Dawn Vollmer sheds light on DMSO: A powerful chemical with vast medicinal potential
