  • Patent number: 11951110
    Abstract: Described are methods of preparing reduced 3,7-diamino-10H-phenothiazine (DAPTZ) compounds of formula: wherein: R1 and R9 are independently selected from: —H; C1-4alkyl; C2-4alkenyl; and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of R3NA and R3NB is independently selected from: —H; C1-4alkyl; C2-4alkenyl; and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of R7NA and R7NB is independently selected from: —H; C1-4alkyl; C2-4alkenyl; and halogenated C1-4alkyl; each of HX1 and HX2 is 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.

  • Publication number: 20230031369
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods of treatment of Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Cognitive Impairment which are adapted to avoid negative interactions between combinations of therapeutics. In particular there are disclosed such methods of treatment in which the order of therapeutics is actively controlled to mitigate homeostatic downregulation prior to administration of active, for example disease modifying, therapeutic agents. In certain embodiments therapy with symptomatic treatments (such as modifiers of the activity of acetylcholine or glutamate neurotransmitters) may subsequently be combined with the disease modifying or other active treatment. The invention also applies the findings in relation to homeostatic downregulation to novel methods of clinical trial design.
