Patent number: 11951110Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: WisTa Laboratories Ltd.Inventors: Claude Michel Wischik, Janet Elizabeth Rickard, Charles Robert Harrington, David Horsley, John Mervyn David Storey, Colin Marshall, James Peter Sinclair, Thomas Craven Baddeley

Publication number: 20230352114Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods for selecting or designing a compound for modulating the aggregation of a Tau protein. The method comprising using computer-implemented molecular modelling means to compare the three-dimensional structure of a candidate compound with a three-dimensional structure of at least a part of the Tau protein comprising amino acids 315-378 and determine whether the candidate compound is able to simultaneously form non-covalent interactions with two or more of Leu315, Ser341, Glu342, Lys343, Phe346, Lys347, Val350, Ser352, Ile354, Lys369, Ile371, Glu372, Phe378 and Thr373. A candidate compound that is able to form said interactions is predicted to modulate the aggregation of the Tau protein or truncated form thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2021Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: GTInvent LimitedInventors: Michael Philip Mazanetz, Claude Michel Wischik, Louise Charlotte Serpell, John Mervyn David Storey

Publication number: 20230312314Abstract: A vehicle immobilizer system comprised of at least one deployable, remotely actuated lift system. The lift system is transported by a movable frame which can be remotely operated. The movable frame suspends the lift system during transport. However, during the lifting operation, the lift system bears the weight of the vehicle, while the movable frame does not. As a result, the movable frame can be of lightweight construction while the lift system can be robust. The lift system supports a universal docking plate which is designed to contact the suspect vehicle and suspend it without damaging it.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2022Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Dave Clayton, Claude Michel, Shrikrishna Shivakumar, Vimal Kumar Viswanathan
