由于其结构特征和选择性定位,三芳基甲烷和噻嗪染料作为抗癌和抗菌剂已引起人们的注意。尽管这些染料最初是在光动力疗法的背景下进行探索的,但其中一些染料(例如 New Fuchsin 和 Azure B)仍未得到广泛研究。出于这个原因,我们评估了五种新的三芳基甲烷和噻嗪溴化染料的化学稳定性、聚集效应和亲脂性,以及对 LM-2 鼠乳腺癌细胞的光动力学活性。这些阳离子化合物以高纯度获得,并通过常规技术明确表征。将溴原子引入 New Fuchsin 和 Azure B 染料的发色体系中,产生了适度的红移并增加了亲油性,从而改善了它们在生物医学应用中的光物理和光化学性能。此外,体外光动力活性表明,随着溴化程度的增加,光毒性保持不变或降低。灭活培养的肿瘤细胞的效率较低可能是由于三芳基甲烷和噻嗪染料分别形成无色甲醇假碱和聚集效应。逆转观察到的生物活性下降的一个有前景的策略可能是设计第三代光敏剂。此外,体外光

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.
The invention relates generally to the use of diaminophenothiazine compounds to inhibit or reverse the aggregation of synuclein, and for their use in the manufacture of medicaments for this purpose (e.g. for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease). Also provided are related methods of detecting or labelling of aggregated synuclein.

Cu doped alpha-NiMoO4 photocatalyst has been synthesized by microwave hydrothermal method. The existence of Cu2+ ions at lattice position of alpha-NiMoO4 was observed on the basis of XRD, HRTEM, SAED, and EDS analysis. The negative zeta potential values indicate the stability of samples. Solar light driven photocatalytic degradation of Methylene blue (MB) dye in water was used to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of Cu doped alpha-NiMoO4 photocatalyst. The results revealed that there is an optimum Cu (4 mol%) doping level leads to highly enhanced photocatalytic activity of Cu-alpha-NiMoO4, as compared to alpha-NiMoO4 host. The experiment also suggested that active species (OH center dot, O-2(center dot-) and h(+)) play a crucial role in the scavenging system. The reduced energy band gap, oxygen vacancy, high BET surface area, and efficient separation of photogenerated electron/hole are responsible for enhancement of photocatalytic performance. MB photodegradation intermediates were identified by high resolution-quadruple time of flight electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-QTOF ESI/MS) in positive ion mode and degradation pathway was proposed. Antibacterial performance was analyzed against Gram-positive (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus Subtilis) and Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) via well-diffusion method. The formation of larger inhibition zone by small quantity of photocatalyst powder proved the excellent antibacterial performance. The inactivation of microorganism were found in following order: B.Subtilis > S.aureus > P.aeruginosa. The result of our study suggested that copper doped alpha-NiMoO4 photocatalyst is suitable for degradation of organic contaminates as well as effective for growth inhibition of multidrug-resistant microorganisms.
