Research Background

Methylene Blue is one of the few compounds with documented activity across mitochondrial, neurological, and antimicrobial research domains. Active areas of scientific investigation include:

• •  Mitochondrial function — acts as an alternative electron carrier between NADH and cytochrome c, supporting Complex IV activity and oxygen consumption.
• •  Neuroprotection research — explored in models of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and traumatic brain injury.
• •  Cognitive and memory research — preclinical studies examining its influence on memory consolidation and cerebral metabolic rate.
• •  Hormesis modelling — well-documented biphasic dose-response behaviour.
• •  Antimicrobial and photodynamic applications — long-established use in antimicrobial research.
• •  Cellular redox biology — widely used as a redox indicator and in studies of oxidative stress.
