Cat# HY-B1359-100mg
Size : 100mg
Brand : MedChemExpress
Methylene blue trihydrate (C.I. Basic Blue 9 trihydrate) is a guanylyl cyclase (sGC), monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor. Methylene blue trihydrate is a vasopressor and is often used as a dye in several medical procedures. Methylene blue trihydrate has antinociception, antimalarial, antidepressant and anxiolytic activity effects. Methylene Blue trihydrate has the potential for methemoglobinemias, neurodegenerative disorders and ifosfamide-induced encephalopathytreatment.

In Vitro |
By acting as an alternative electron acceptor/donor Methylene blue restores mitochondrial function, improves neuronal energy production and inhibits the formation of superoxide[1]. MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. |

In Vivo |
Methylene Blue (1, 5, and 25 μg/rat) significantly decreases sevoflurane minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration (MAC) and brain cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) content in a dose-dependent manner in male Sprague-Dawley rats (7-week-old, 200-250 g)[2]. MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. |
