Study · Chemical communications (Cambridge, England) · 2003 · DOI 10.1039/b307228b · PMID 14518917

Plain-language summary

Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.

This brief report describes photochemistry of leuco-Methylene Blue. The authors state that it has a previously unrecognized, highly reactive, UV-driven triplet-state photochemistry and, in particular, undergoes photo-oxidative quenching with dissolved oxygen. The abstract is a short chemistry note with no quantitative data or biological species involved.
