What is Methylene Blue?
Methylene Blue is a phenothiazine dye with multiple pharmacological mechanisms: electron carrier in the mitochondrial ETC (bypassing Complexes I-III), MAO-A inhibitor, guanylate cyclase inhibitor, and NOS inhibitor. Studied for mitochondrial rescue, cognitive enhancement, Alzheimer disease models, and methaemoglobinaemia antidote research. Research use only.
