Methylene blue (MB) is a synthetic compound with a long history of use in medicine, biology, and chemistry. In medical use, it can be used to treat methemoglobinemia and as an anti-malarial, and as a dye or preservative in diagnostic procedures. Studies have shown that MB may have neuroprotective properties and has potential applications in treating Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. It is thought to act as an electron carrier and improve mitochondrial function. In biological research
Methylene blue is often used as a microscopic stain to visualize cellular components such as the nucleus and cytoplasm.
Due to its color-changing properties, it is used as an indicator in biochemical assays, which signify redox reactions.

Application
1. Medical Uses
- Methemoglobinemia: Methylene blue is most widely known for treating methemoglobinemia, a condition where hemoglobin can't release oxygen effectively to tissues. MB restores hemoglobin's function by reducing methemoglobin back to its normal state.
- Dye in Diagnostic Procedures: It's used as a dye in certain diagnostic procedures, including lymph node mapping, as it stains tissues and body fluids blue.
- Antiseptic: It has mild antiseptic properties and is sometimes used for urinary tract infections and skin infections.
- Anti-Malarial: Historically, MB was an antimalarial treatment, although it has been largely replaced by more effective drugs. However, there's some renewed interest in it for drug-resistant malaria.
- Neurological Benefits: Research suggests MB may have neuroprotective properties, with potential applications in treating Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. It's believed to act as an electron carrier, improving mitochondrial function.
2. Biological Research
- Methylene blue is commonly used as a staining agent in microscopy to visualize cellular components like the nucleus and cytoplasm.
- It's used as an indicator in biochemical assays due to its color change properties, which signal redox reactions.
