Description
Methylene Blue is a highly versatile compound with powerful neuroprotective, antioxidant, and mitochondrial-enhancing properties. First synthesized in 1876, this diaminophenothiazine derivative stabilizes amyloid proteins, slows their aggregation, and protects neurons from oxidative stress and toxins. It enhances cellular respiration by facilitating electron transfer in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, reducing superoxide production. Soluble in both water and organic solvents, it easily penetrates cells and organelles. Beyond neuroscience, it has antimalarial, antidepressant, cardioprotective, and acid-base indicator uses, making it a valuable tool in both research and medicine.
