Description

Methylene blue trihydrate is a water-soluble dye and a chemical compound that has been used in medical diagnostics. It is an electron-accepting molecule that can be used as a pH indicator, and it has been shown to have effects on the rate of DNA synthesis by bacterial cells. Methylene blue trihydrate can also be used to measure the concentration of chloride ions in solution, and it has been shown to adsorb to both organic and inorganic substances. This compound is being investigated as a possible treatment for various types of cancers including leukemia and malignant melanoma.
Methylene blue trihydrate binds to DNA with intercalating properties, which blocks DNA replication during cell division. The energy metabolism of cells is inhibited by methylene blue trihydrate when it binds at adenosine monophosphate (AMP). In addition, methylthioninium chloride (MTT) is formed from methylene blue trihydrate when it reacts with
