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].
Methylene blue inhibits cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes. Methylene blue is an odorless, water soluble, dark blue-green crystalline powder, which turns blue whenever mixed in solution. Methylene blue is a vasopressor that impacts the NO synthetic pathway by inhibiting inducible NOS and inhibiting the subsequent activation of sGC. In addition, by binding to the iron heme moiety of sGC and causing enzyme inhibition, Methylene blue blocks accumulation of cyclic GMP (cGMP), competing directly with NO in its ability to activate soluble guanylyl cyclase[3].

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].
Methylene blue is used as a dye in chromoendoscopy, and is sprayed onto the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract in order to identify dysplasia, or pre-cancerous lesions[2].
Methylene blue is able to restore vascular tone, normalize mean arterial pressures (MAP), and reduce vasopressor usage[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.69 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.69 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
