Popis: Methylene blue, a phenothiazine dye, that is widely used in medicine and is under clinical trials as an agent for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. One of the factors of the unique therapeutic effect of methylene blue is its redox properties, allowing implementation of alternative electron transport: the dye accepts electrons from reducing equivalents in mitochondria and transfer them to other components of the respiratory chain or molecular oxygen.
