Methylene Blue 5 mg – 60 capsules research-grade capsules supplied in a sealed bottle. Methylene Blue, also known as Methylthioninium chloride, is a synthetic thiazine dye widely used in histology and experimental models focused on redox biology, mitochondrial respiration, cellular metabolism and enzyme modulation.

Research Overview

Methylene Blue (Methylthioninium chloride) is a synthetic organic thiazine dye historically used as a biological stain and model research compound. In contemporary laboratory work it is widely employed to investigate redox cycling, mitochondrial respiration, cellular energy metabolism and enzyme modulation in controlled in vitro and in vivo systems.

Primary Research Areas

• Mitochondrial respiration and energy metabolism: used as an electron cycler to study mitochondrial electron transport, ATP production and modulation of cellular bioenergetics under various experimental stress conditions.
• Redox cycling and oxidative stress: investigated for its reversible redox properties, interactions with reactive oxygen species and influence on antioxidant/pro-oxidant balance in cell and tissue models.
• Neuroprotection and cognitive function models: applied in preclinical systems exploring neuronal survival, synaptic function and higher-order cognitive endpoints in the context of redox-modulating interventions.
• Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and NOS inhibition: used to probe inhibition of monoamine oxidase A and nitric oxide synthase, and how these enzymatic targets contribute to neuromodulation and vascular signaling pathways in research settings.
• Antimicrobial and antimalarial research: included in experimental work evaluating activity against selected microorganisms and Plasmodium species, as well as broader infectious disease models in vitro.
