Described are methods of preparing reduced 3,7-diamino-10H-phenothiazine (DAPTZ) compounds of formula: wherein: Rand Rare independently selected from: —H; Calkyl; Calkenyl; and halogenated Calkyl; each of Rand Ris independently selected from: —H; Calkyl; Calkenyl; and halogenated Calkyl; each of Rand Ris independently selected from: —H; Calkyl; Calkenyl; and halogenated Calkyl; each of HXand HXis independently a protic acid; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof. These methods are particularly useful for producing stable reduced forms, and with high purity. The stability and purity are especially relevant for pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of disease. The compounds are useful for treatment of e.g. tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease, and also as prodrugs for the corresponding oxidized thioninium drugs.

3, 7-diamino-10H-phenothiazine salts and their use

Disclosed are compounds of general formula (I): and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, formulations, methods and uses in, for example, the treatment of disease.

Phenothiazine diaminium salts and their use

Described are methods of preparing reduced 3,7-diamino-10H-phenothiazine (DAPTZ) compounds of formula: wherein: Rand Rare independently selected from: &#x2014;H; Calkyl; Calkenyl; and halogenated Calkyl; each of Rand Ris independently selected from: &#x2014;H; Calkyl; Calkenyl; and halogenated Calkyl; each of Rand Ris independently selected from: &#x2014;H; Calkyl; Calkenyl; and halogenated Calkyl; each of HXand HXis independently a protic acid; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof. These methods are particularly useful for producing stable reduced forms, and with high purity. The stability and purity are especially relevant for pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of disease. The compounds are useful for treatment of e.g. tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease, and also as prodrugs for the corresponding oxidized thioninium drugs.

Described are a compound of formula (II) or (III):  The compounds are effective in the treatment of disease, including a tauopathy condition or a disease of tau protein aggregation.

3,6-disubstituted xanthylium salts

The invention relates to compounds of general formula (I): wherein: each of Rand Ris independently selected from: &#x2014;H, Calkyl, Calkenyl, and halogenated Calkyl; each of Rand Ris independently selected from: &#x2014;H, Calkyl, Calkenyl, and halogenated Calkyl; each of R7NA and R7NB is independently selected from: &#x2014;H, Calkyl, Calkenyl, and halogenated Calkyl; and wherein: each of Rand Ris independently selected from: Calkyl, halogenated Calkyl, and Caryl; or Rand Rare linked to form a group selected from: Calkylene and Carylene; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are useful in the treatment of, for example, Alzheimer's disease. In other aspects the invention also relates to novel formulations of 3,7-diamino-10H-phenothiazinium salts. 

3,7-diamino-10H-phenothiazine salts and their use

This invention pertains generally to the field of phenothiazine compounds, and more particularly to certain stably reduced phenothiazine compounds, specifically, certain 3,7-diamino-10H-phenothiazine (DAPTZ) compounds of the following formula: wherein: each of Rand Ris independently selected from: &#x2014;H; Calkyl; Calkenyl; and halogenated Calkyl; each of Rand Ris independently selected from: &#x2014;H; Calkyl; Calkenyl; and halogenated Calkyl; each of Rand Ris independently selected from: &#x2014;H; Calkyl; Calkenyl; and halogenated Calkyl; each of HXand HXis independently a protic acid; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof. These compounds are useful as drugs, for example, in the treatment of tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease, and also as prodrugs for the corresponding oxidized thioninium drugs (for example, methylthioninium chloride, MTC).

This invention pertains generally to processes, uses, methods and materials utilizing particular xanthylium compounds, including compounds of formula (I) and (II), as further defined herein. These compounds are useful as drugs, for example, in the treatment of tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease. 

3,6-disubstituted xanthylium salts and use thereof in treatment of tauopathies

The invention relates generally to the use of diaminophenothiazine compounds to inhibit or reverse the aggregation of synuclein, and for their use in the manufacture of medicaments for this purpose (e.g. for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease). Also provided are related methods of detecting or labelling of aggregated synuclein.

Inhibitors of protein aggregation

Disclosed are in vitro methods for identifying ligands capable of labeling aggregated PHF tau protein, the methods comprising the steps of: (i) providing a first agent suspected of being capable of labeling aggregated PHF tau protein, (ii) contacting (a) a tau protein or a derivative thereof containing the tau core fragment bound to a solid phase so as to expose a high affinity tau capture site, with (b) a liquid phase tau protein or derivative thereof capable of binding to the solid phase tau protein or derivative, and (c) said selected first agent and (d) a second agent known to be tau-tau binding inhibitor, (iii) selecting first agent which fully or partially relieves the inhibition of binding of the liquid phase tau protein or derivative of (b) to the solid phase tau protein or derivative of (a) by the inhibitor (d). Ligands may also be tested to confirm that they are not themselves inhibitors.
