From figure 1 it can be seen that mb tends to inhibit the right sided vasodilatory pathway especially in states when no is upregulated. In its oxidized state the color of mb is blue due to the fact that the phenothiazinium molecule absorbs visible light strongly in the region of 600700.
It occurs as odorless dark blue crystals and is soluble in water and chloroform but only sparingly so in alcohol.
The resulting condition is known as serotonin syndrome. Download scientific diagram microscope imaging of methylene blue stained e. The dye is purchased from sigma aldrich india and its structure is mentioned in figure 32. Methylene blue stains negatively charged molecules in the cell including dna and rna.
