Description

Methylene Blue is a phenothiazine derivative and redox-active compound that acts as an alternative electron carrier within the mitochondrial electron transport chain.
It facilitates electron transfer between NADH and cytochrome c, bypassing dysfunctional Complex I/III segments, thereby enhancing ATP production and reducing oxidative stress in preclinical models.

In research, Methylene Blue has demonstrated neuroprotective, antioxidant, and mitochondrial-supportive effects.
It has been utilized to study cellular respiration, cognitive function, and redox homeostasis, as well as the modulation of nitric oxide synthase and monoamine oxidase activity.

Its diverse bioenergetic and signaling roles make it an important model compound for exploring mitochondrial dynamics, neurodegeneration, and oxidative stress-related pathways.
