Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)
Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) is a highly polar solvent used in pharmaceuticals for solubilizing poorly water-soluble drugs, cryopreservation of cells in biopharma, and as a carrier in transdermal delivery systems. Its strong solvating power and biocompatibility make it versatile, though controlled due to safety considerations.
