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

Disclosed are methods of synthesis and/or purification of certain 3,7-diamino-phenothiazin-5-ium compounds ('diaminophenothiazinium compounds') including Methylthioninium Chloride (MTC) (Methylene Blue), and the resulting high purity characterized by a purity greater than 98%, and very low levels of heavy metals and organic impurities Azure A, B, C and MVB. Also disclosed are methods of treatment of a tauopathy or methemoglobinemia in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of the high-purity diaminophenothiazinium compound.

Methods of synthesis and/or purification of diaminophenothiazinium compounds

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 methods of synthesis and/or purification of certain 3,7-diamino-phenothiazin-5-ium compounds (referred to herein as 'diaminophenothiazinium compounds') including Methylthioninium Chloride (MTC) (also known as Methylene Blue), the resulting (high purity) compounds, compositions comprising such compounds (e.g., tablets, capsules), and the use of such high purity compounds. The compounds are useful in inactivating pathogens, and methods of medical treatment, prophylaxis, and diagnosis of diseases including a tauopathy, related neurological and infectious diseases.

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.
