CAS 67-71-0: Dimethyl sulfone

Applications Dimethyl Sulfone, (D479350) can be used as as a high-temperature solvent for both inorganic and organic substances, due to its polarity and thermal stability. It has been also shown to be used for the treatment of Osteoarthritis, in combination with other compounds. References Hareau, G., et al.: Encyclo. Reag. Org. Synth. (2003); Kim, L.

Methyl sulfone is a synergistic agent that enhances the effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. It has been shown to have an optimum concentration between 0.1 and 1 mM, with a synergic effect at concentrations of 5 and 10 mM. Inhibition of these enzymes reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are proinflammatory mediators that cause pain and inflammation. Methyl sulfone also has antioxidant properties due to its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). This drug has been shown to be effective in treating infectious diseases such as wild-type strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Helicobacter pylori, or Staphylococcus aureus. Methyl sulfone also shows efficacy against squamous cell carcinoma cells in vitro and has been shown to reduce DNA synthesis rates in calf thymus DNA by 25%. Meth

Dimethyl sulfone is used as a high-temperature solvent for both inorganic and organic substances. It acts as an intermediate as well as medium in organic synthesis. It plays an important role as a carbon source by the airborne bacteria Afipia. It is also employed as an extraction solvent for the separation of aromatic compounds like benzene, toluene and xylenes from aliphatic hydrocarbons. Further, it is used in the polymerization process. It finds application in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, paint and coating materials. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
