Abstract: 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.

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.

Abstract: The invention provides novel regimens for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders utilising methylthioninium (MT)-containing compounds. The regimens are based on novel findings in relation to the dosage of MT compounds, and their interaction with symptomatic treatments based on modulation of a acetylcholinesterase levels.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention provides novel regimens for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders utilising methylthioninium (MT)-containing compounds.
