Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%)
Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) (Basic Blue 9) is a guanylyl cyclase (sGC), monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor. Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) is a vasopressor and is often used as a dye in several medical procedures. Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) through the nitric oxide syntase/guanylate cyclase signalling pathway to reduce prepulse inhibition. Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) is a REDOX cycling compound and able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) is a Tau aggregation inhibitor. Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) is a photosensitizer and redox agent. Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) reduces cerebral edema, attenuated microglial activation and reduced neuroinflammation.

Description
IC50 & Target
Guanylyl cyclase (sGC)[1].
Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A)[1].
NO synthase (NOS)[1]
In Vitro
Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) (Basic Blue 9) (4.5 μM; BV2 microglia) alters the immune profile of LPS-activated BV2 microglia and decreases the level of CD14, IL-1β, TNF-α, and CCL2 mRNA[3].
1. Sample treatment:
1.1 For paraffin sections: dewax and rehydrate as usual.
1.2 For frozen sections: distilled water for 2 min.
1.3 For cultured cells: Fix with 4% paraformaldehyde. Wash with distilled water for 2 min. Replace with fresh distilled water and wash for another 2 min.
2. Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) staining
2.1 Stain with 0.1% Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) for 2 min.
2.2 Wash thoroughly with distilled water, observe and take photos.
2.3 Staining results:
Tissue or cells: blue

In Vivo
Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) (Basic Blue 9) (20 and 40 mg/kg; p.o.; daily, for 6 months; CaMKIIα-tTA transactivator mice) preserves cognition in mice expressing full-length pro-aggregant human Tau[2].
Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) (Basic Blue 9) (2 mg/kg; i.v.; once, for 1 d; TBI-treated male BALB/c mice) reduces TBI-induced edema and neuroinflammation and reduces acute depression-like behavior[3].
Methylene Blue Staining Solution (1%) (Basic Blue 9) (2 mg/kg; i.v.; once, for 1 d; TBI-treated male BALB/c mice) reduces the percentage of inflammatory factor[3].
