Frequently Asked Questions — Methylene Blue (50 count)

What is Methylene Blue?

Methylene Blue (Basic Blue 9, CAS 61-73-4, C16H18ClN3S, ~319.85 g/mol) is a heterocyclic aromatic redox research compound with over 100 years of biochemical research history. It has been studied as a mitochondrial electron carrier, neuroprotective agent, antioxidant, and cognitive research compound.

What is Methylene Blue used for in research?

Methylene Blue is studied for mitochondrial electron transport chain enhancement (bypassing Complex I and III dysfunction), neuroprotection in oxidative stress and neurodegeneration models, cognitive function and memory consolidation research, antioxidant redox cycling, MAO inhibition, and nitric oxide synthase modulation.

What is the CAS number for Methylene Blue?

CAS 61-73-4. Formula C16H18ClN3S, MW ~319.85 g/mol. IUPAC: 3,7-bis(dimethylamino)phenothiazin-5-ium chloride. PubChem CID: 6099.

How does Methylene Blue interact with mitochondria?

Methylene Blue is studied as a mitochondrial electron carrier that accepts electrons from NADH and donates them directly to cytochrome c, potentially bypassing dysfunctional Complex I and III. This is the basis for its investigation in mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroprotection, and cognitive research models.

What is the difference between oxidized and reduced Methylene Blue?

Oxidized Methylene Blue is blue and accepts electrons. Reduced Methylene Blue (leucomethylene blue) is colorless. The cycling between these states drives its redox and antioxidant research activity, enabling interaction with multiple biological systems.

How many Methylene Blue units are in each order?

Each order contains 50 count at 99% purity for pre-clinical research protocols.

Where can I buy Methylene Blue research compound?

Methylene Blue (50 count) is available from Combat Research with 99% purity, USA domestic stock, same-day shipping, and free shipping over .
