(Methythioninium chloride) is a synthetic aromatic chemical dye that also happens to function as a redox-active therapeutic agent. Methylene Blue operates by acting as an oxidation-reduction agent, converting ferric hemoglobin (methemoglobin) back to its ferrous form. This allows it bind and transport oxygen effectively. Vascular benefits include the inhibition of guanylate cyclase, thereby deducing cyclic GMP (cGMP) levels in smooth muscle cells and counteracting excessive vasodilation – often mediated by nitric oxide. In relationship to the mitochondria, methylene blue has been studied for its ability to facilitate electron transport and reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, thus exerting protective anti-oxidant effects.
