The monoamine oxidase inhibition properties of selected structural analogues of methylene blue
(Elsevier, 2017)
The thionine dye, methylene blue (MB), is a potent inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) A, a property that may, at least in part, mediate its antidepressant effects in humans and animals. The central inhibition of MAO-A ...
Monoamine oxidase inhibition by selected dye compounds
(Wiley, 2019)
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an important drug target as the MAO isoforms play key roles in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, as well as in neuropsychiatric diseases such as ...
Methylene blue and its analogues as antidepressant compounds
(Springer, 2017)
Methylene Blue (MB) is considered to have diverse medical applications and is a well-described treatment for methemoglobinemias and ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy. In recent years the focus has shifted to MB as an ...
Azure B, a metabolite of methylene blue, is a high-potency, reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2012)
Methylene blue (MB) has been shown to act at multiple cellular and molecular targets and as a result
possesses diverse medical applications. Among these is a high potency reversible inhibition of monoamine
oxidase A ...
Role of monoamine oxidase, nitric oxide synthase and regional brain monoamines in the antidepressant-like effects of methylene blue and selected structural analogues
(Elsevier, 2010)
Dual action antidepressants have important therapeutic implications. Methylene blue (MB), a charged compound structurally related to tricyclic antidepressants, acts on both monoamine oxidase (MAO) and the nitric oxide ...
Azure B and a synthetic structural analogue of methylene blue, ethylthioninium chloride, present with antidepressant-like properties
(Elsevier, 2014)
Aims: The phenothiazinium compound, methylene blue (MB), possesses diverse pharmacological actions and is
attracting attention for the treatment of bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's disease. MB acts on both monoamine
oxidase ...
