摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods for identifying therapeutic agents that are multifunctional radical quenchers. It also provides compounds of formula (I), (II), or (II-A): and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, compositions comprising these compounds, and methods of using these compounds in a variety of applications, such as treatment or suppression of diseases associated with decreased mitochondrial function resulting in diminished ATP production and/or oxidative stress and/or lipid peroxidation.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for prevention of premature polymerization during the preparation, purification, transportation and storage of a polymerizable compound with at least one conjugated unsaturated group in the presence of an azine dye-based compound as inhibitor. Further the present invention relates to methods of preparing such inhibitors as well as to the inhibitors itself, as well as to methods of improving solubility and stability of dissolved inhibitors.
摘要:
The invention concerns amidine derivatives of general formula (I) exhibiting an inhibitory activity of calpains and/or a trapping activity of reactive forms of oxygen.
摘要:
This invention pertains generally to the field of chemical synthesis and purification, and more specifically to 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 present invention also pertains to the resulting (high purity) compounds, compositions comprising them (e.g., tablets, capsules), and their use in methods of inactivating pathogens, and methods of medical treatment, prophylaxis, and diagnosis, etc., for example, a tauopathy; a disease of tau protein aggregation; Alzheimer's disease (AD); Pick's disease; Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP); fronto-temporal dementia (FTD); FTD and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17); disinhibition-dementia-parkinsonism-amyotrophy complex (DDPAC); pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration (PPND); Guam-ALS syndrome; pallido-nigro-luysian degeneration (PNLD); cortico-basal degeneration (CBD); mild cognitive impairment (MCl); skin cancer; melanoma; methemoglobinemia; a viral infection; a bacterial infection; a protozoal infection; a parasitic infection; malaria; visceral leishmaniasis; African sleeping sickness; toxoplasmosis; giardiasis; Chagas' disease; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; West Nile virus (WNV) infection; a synucleinopathy; Parkinson's disease (PD); dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB); multiple system atrophy (MSA); drug-induced parkinsonism; and pure autonomic failure (PAF).

摘要:
Disclosed are methods for determining the stage of neurofibrillary degeneration associated with a tauopathy in a subject believed to suffer from the disease, which methods comprise the steps of: (i) introducing into the subject a ligand capable of labelling aggregated paired helical filament (PHF) tau protein, (ii) determining the presence and/or amount of ligand bound to extracellular aggregated PHF tau in the medial temporal lobe of the brain of the subject, (iii) correlating the result of the determination made in (ii) with the extent of neurofibrillary degeneration in the subject. The methods can be used for pre-mortem diagnosis and staging of tauopathies such as Alzheimer's Disease. Preferred ligands include sulphonated-benzothiazole-like compounds and diaminophenothiazines. Novel ligands (e.g. sulphonated-benzothiazole-like compounds) are also provided. The method may also include the use of 'blocking ligands' to block competing binding sites. In other aspects the invention provides in vitro methods for identifying ligands capable of labeling aggregated PHF tau protein, the methods comprising the steps of: (i) providing a first agent suspected of being capable of labeling aggregated PHF tau protein, (ii) contacting (a) a tau protein or a derivative thereof containing the tau core fragment bound to a solid phase so as to expose a high affinity tau capture site, with (b) a liquid phase tau protein or derivative thereof capable of binding to the solid phase tau protein or derivative, and (c) said selected first agent and (d) a second agent known to be tau-tau binding inhibitor, (iii) selecting first agent which fully or partially relieves the inhibition of binding of the liquid phase tau protein or derivative of (b) to the solid phase tau protein or derivative of (a) by the inhibitor (d). Ligands may also be tested to confirm that they are not themselves inhibitors.
摘要:
The invention relates to (a) phenothiazine or a phenothiazine analog or derivative (phenothiazine material) in the form of prills of a generally spherical shape containing very low levels of fines and also (b) a method of forming a phenothiazine material in prill form having a generally spherical shape. The prilled phenothiazine material exhibits improved handling, flowability and dissolation times, while minimizing the generation of fines, and the problems of irritation and sensitization through exposure to such fines.
摘要:
