Role of monoamine oxidase, nitric oxide synthase and regional brain monoamines in the antidepressant-like effects of methylene blue and selected structural analogues

This animal study evaluated the antidepressant-like effects of methylene blue (MB) and its analogues, methylene green (MG) and others, demonstrating significant reductions in depressive behaviors in rodents. MB and MG showed dose-dependent improvements in depression symptoms, primarily by enhancing mitochondrial function, inhibiting monoamine oxidase (MAO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS),
