Is dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO anti-bacterial?

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, CAS 67-68-5) does not have inherent anti-bacterial properties. It is a solvent, not a disinfectant or antibacterial agent. It cannot kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria on its own. However, in some cases, it may indirectly assist in antibacterial treatments-for example, when used as a penetration enhancer in topical antibacterial creams, it helps the antibacterial drug absorb into the skin more effectively, thereby improving the drug's antibacterial effect. But DMSO itself does not have anti-bacterial activity.

What is Pharmaceutical Grade DMSO solvent used for?

Pharmaceutical Grade DMSO is used topically to relieve discomfort and to improve wound healing, burns, and muscle and skeletal injuries. Topically, CAS 67-68-5 DMSO is also used to treat painful conditions such as headache, swelling, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and extreme facial pain called tic douloureux.
