Metabolite Identification
Common NameDimethyl sulfone
DescriptionDimethyl sulfone, also known as sulfonylbismethane or lignisul MSM, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sulfones. Sulfones are compounds containing a sulfonyl group( which as the general structure RS(=O)2R' (R,R' =alkyl, aryl)) attached to two carbon atoms. Dimethyl sulfone exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Dimethyl sulfone exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
