Methylene blue is an inhibitor of guanylyl cyclase (sGC), monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), and NO synthase (NOS). It acts as a vasopressor and is commonly used as a dye in medical procedures. This REDOX cycling compound crosses the blood-brain barrier, functions as a Tau aggregation inhibitor, and has been shown to reduce cerebral edema, attenuate microglial activation, and decrease neuroinflammation.
