What is Methylene Blue?
Methylene Blue is a phenothiazine dye with multiple pharmacological mechanisms: (1) mitochondrial electron carrier — bypasses Complex I-III by accepting electrons from NADH and donating to cytochrome c, rescuing mitochondrial dysfunction; (2) weak MAO inhibitor; (3) guanylate cyclase inhibitor; (4) tau aggregation inhibitor (Alzheimer’s research).
CAS 61-73-4.
Research Applications
Mitochondrial ETC Bypass NADH→MB→cytochrome c — Complex I/III bypass for mitochondrial rescue Cognitive Enhancement Low-dose cognitive effects — memory and attention in rodent models Alzheimer’s/Tau Research Tau aggregation inhibition — Alzheimer’s disease models Mitochondrial Rescue ETC dysfunction models — rotenone/antimycin Complex I/III blockade rescue NO/cGMP Inhibition Guanylate cyclase inhibition — NO research and vasodilation studies
