  • Patent number: 10525061
    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.

  • Patent number: 10323010
    Abstract: The present invention pertains generally to the field of chemical synthesis, and more particularly to methods of chemical synthesis which include the step of preparing a substituted 10H-phenothiazine-3,7-diamine compound of Formula (1) by a step of selective alkylation by reductive amination, in which the corresponding unsubstituted diamine of Formula (4) is reacted with aldehyde/ketone, under reductive amination conditions. The present invention also relates to such methods which incorporate additional subsequent and/or preceding steps, for example, to prepare compounds of Formulae (2) and (3) from compounds of Formula (1), and to prepare compounds of Formula (4) from, for example, compounds of Formulae (5), (6), (7), (8), and (9). Compounds of Formula (1), Formula (2), and Formula (3) are useful, for example, in the treatment of diseases of protein aggregation, such as Alzheimer's disease.
