Product Description
Dimethyl sulfone-d6 is the deuterium labelled form of Dimethyl sulfone. Dimethyl sulfone is an endogenously produced metabolite.
Dimethyl sulfone-d6 (CAS: 22230-82-6) is a deuterium-labeled form of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), an organosulfur compound naturally found in animals and plants. It serves as a stable isotope-labeled analytical standard.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The unlabeled compound, MSM, targets key inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress pathways, including inhibition of NF-kappaB activation. The labeled d6 analog is not typically used for target identification but rather as an analytical internal standard for quantifying unlabeled MSM in various matrices.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Dimethyl sulfone-d6 is primarily used as an internal standard in analytical methods rather than as a pharmacological agent. Unlabeled MSM demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties by reducing TNF-alpha, IL-6, and NO production in cell cultures.
ln Vivo
In vivo, the compound is used as a tracer and internal standard in pharmacokinetic studies of MSM in animals and humans. Unlabeled MSM has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and joint-protective effects in animal models of arthritis.
Enzyme Assay
A typical non-cell assay involves using Dimethyl sulfone-d6 as an internal standard for GC-MS or LC-MS quantification of MSM. A fixed concentration (e.g., 10 uM) is added to all standards and samples to normalize for extraction efficiency and instrument variability.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays are not typical for this deuterated compound. In some experimental designs, Dimethyl sulfone-d6 (unlabeled) may be incubated with cells such as primary chondrocytes or macrophages to study its effects on inflammatory cytokine production. The d6 version is not intended for such use.
Animal Protocol
In animal studies, the compound is typically administered orally to rodents as part of a dosing solution (e.g., 1,000-2,000 mg/kg). Plasma samples collected at various time points are spiked with Dimethyl sulfone-d6 as the internal standard for LC-MS/MS quantification of circulating MSM levels.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
MSM (unlabeled) is rapidly absorbed after oral administration with a half-life of approximately 12 hours. The deuterated form has identical ADME properties and is excreted primarily in urine. The deuterium label does not significantly alter its pharmacokinetic profile.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
MSM has extremely low toxicity, with an LD₅0 > 17 g/kg in rodents. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Minor gastrointestinal side effects may occur at very high doses. The deuterated analog is considered non-toxic for research use.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
