New methylene blue (NMB; sometimes Basic Blue 24) is an organic compound of the thiazine class of heterocycles. It is used as a stain and as an antimicrobial agent. It is classified as an azine dye, and the chromophore is a cation, the anion is often unspecified.
New methylene blue contains the word new in its name to differentiate the effectiveness of staining, between its predecessor methylene blue, the chemical structure of methylene blue, and the colors between the two.
