All references cited herein are incorporated by reference for all purposes. Background of the Technology 15 Solubility in solution, either for a drug compound with a recognized activity or for a drug candidate compound, is almost always required before the compound can be analyzed or significant bioavailability achieved. Solubility in water or some aqueous or neutral solution is desirable as high solubility eases molecular pharmacology screening as well as biodistribution. 20 In vitro studies involving such aspects as receptor binding, enzyme inhibition, and cell cultures and studies with isolated organs are all facilitated when the compound is made soluble in H20 or other neutral media. When testing highly water insoluble material for in vitro assays, the common procedure to attain water solubility is to prepare a solution using an organic solvent (DMSO, polyethylene -3- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 glycol, EtOH, etc.) and then proceed to various aqueous dilutions. In following this regimen, there is always the possibility that the compound will precipitate out during a dilution. Furthermore, any precipitation may not be properly considered if it is not noticeable or the precipitate easily adheres to the wall of the testing vessel. 5 Most organic acids or bases are only poorly soluble in water, whereas many corresponding salts render the drug substance ionized in H20 and hence made water soluble. Salts that are soluble in water are also ideally suited for the preparation of injectable sterile aqueous solutions. Also, fast dissolution of the active principle contained in solid dosage forms, such as for quick release tablets 10 or hard-gelatine capsules will rely on the aqueous solubility of the drug. When considering in vivo testing, solubility in H20 facilitates all studies in which parenteral administration is required. In pharmacokinetics, a reliable determination of absolute bioavailability via oral administration is needed before a comparison is possible with an amount administered intravenously because a dose 15 entering the system by the parenteral route is a precisely known reference. Aqueous solubility is particularly important in toxicity studies wherein the digestibility of a compound in an animal will leave uncertainty as to whether an insoluble compound is either toxic or just incompletely absorbed. On a therapeutic level, the major concern for finding a water-soluble drug 20 resides in the possibility this solubility provides for intravenous administration. The water solubility of a drug is particularly important in drugs for emergency treatments that will permit therapeutic plasma levels to be reached in a very short period of time. Intravenous administration is often the only access available when a patient is otherwise incapacitated in an operation or some emergency situation. WO 2006/004613 PCTYUS2005/022626 Also, water solubility is needed for several types of pharmaceutical dosage formats. Apart from parenteral injection or infusion, water solubility is important for producing aqueous drops for ocular or nasal administration, or aqueous syrup for oral administration. 5 For oral consumption of a drug compound, the significance of water solubility to pharmacokinetics cannot be underestimated. This is particularly so when the absorption step for the compound is preceded by a dissolution step of the orally ingested dosage format The in-vivo dissolution step is often the rate determining step for drug absorption. Also, highly water-soluble drugs are, by the 10 fact itself, less toxic than lower water-soluble drugs due to their facilitated renal clearance. They will have a lesser tendency to accumulate in an organism thus avoiding overload to the liver. Complex guanylhydrazones have been reported in the patent literature above. For instance, U.S. Patent No. 5,599,984 to Bianchi et al. listed above 15 discloses hydrochloride salts of complex guanylhydrazone compounds with some degree of water solubility. However, the high acidity associated with some hydrochloride salts, upon dissociation, can cause cellular damage and is a recognized source of phlebitis. Stranz et al.. Int. J. Pharm. Compounding (2002), v.6, n.3, pp.216-220. Thus, mere is a need in the art to develop salts of 20 guanylhydrazone compounds, and in particular salts of complex guanylhydrazone compounds, having both high water solubility and lower probability of cellular insult due to the acidity of the salt upon dissociation in solution. -5- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One embodiment of the present invention provides a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, comprising the following compound: 5 as a salt of at least one pharmaceutically acceptable acid selected from the group consisting of compounds having the following formulas: WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 wherein each C* independently represents a potentially chiral carbon that can be in either the D or L enantiomeric configuration, wherein each R is independently unsubstituted or substituted and selected from the group consisting of Y—, Y-0—, Y-S—, Y-S02—, (Y)2-N-S02—, 5 Y-(OO)—, Y-(C=0)-0—, YO-(OO)—, (Y)a-N— Y-(G=OMY- N>—, (Y-(C=0))2—N—, Y-(S02)-(Y-N)—, 0r (Y-(SOJ)2~N—; each Y being independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, carboxyl, halo, hydroxyl, thiol, nitro, amine, NC—, (C,-C6)alkyl, (C3-C6)cycloalkyl, (C2-C6)alkenyl, (C3-C6) cycloalkenyl, (C2-C6)alkynyl, (C3-C6)cycloalkynyl, (C,-10 C6)alkoxy, (C5-C7)aryl, (C3-C5)heteroaryl, and (C3-C5)heterocyclic; wherein each of the aforesaid (Cj-C^alkyl, (C3-C6)cycloalkyl, (C2-C6)alkenyl, (C3-C6) cycloalkenyl, (C2-C6)alkynyl, (C3-C6)cycloalkynyl, (C,-C6)alkoxy, (C5-C7)aryl, (C3-C5)heteroaryl, and (C3-C5)heterocycUc substituents may be substituted or unsubstituted; wherein two independently chosen Y alkyl-containing groups may be taken 15 together with any nitrogen atom to which they are attached to form a three to twelve membered cyclic, heterocyclic or heteroaryl ring; and wherein in the compound having the formula VII, L is a diradical moiety selected from the group consisting of (C,-C20)alkyl, (C3-C2o)cycloalkyl, (C2- C20)alkenyl, (C3-C20) cycloalkenyl, (C2-C20)alkynyl, (C3-C20)cycloalkynyl, (C,- 20 C20)alkoxy/thiol, (C3-C20)aryl, (C3-C15)heteroaryl, (C3-C15)heterocyclic and (C3- C20)cycloalkyl; wherein each of the aforesaid (C,-C20)alkyl, (C3-C20)cycloalkyl, (C2-C20)alkenyl, (C3-C20) cycloalkenyl, (C^C^alkynyl, (C3-C20)cycloalkynyl, (Cr C20)alkoxy/thiol, (C3-C2Q)aryl, (C3-C15)heteroaryl, (C3-C15)heterocyclic and (C3-C20)cycloalkyl diradical moieties may be substituted or unsubstituted. -1- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 Another embodiment of the invention provides a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, comprising one or more compounds having the formula: wherein X1, X2, X3, and X4 each independently represent H, GhyCH—, GhyCCH3—, or CH3CO—, with the provisos that X1, X2, X3 and X4 are not 5 simultaneously H; wherein Z is one or more selected from the group consisting of: -iA\-(CR2R3X-iA2)b~-, -(A1)a-(CR2R3)x-Qm-(CR4R5)y-(A2)b-; and -CA^-CGR^-Q^CCR^-Tn-CCR^-CA2),,-; 10 and combinations thereof; wherein a is selected from the group consisting of 0,1,2,3,4, 5, 6,7, 8, and 9; wherein b is selected from the group consisting of 0,1,2, 3,4, 5, 6,7, 8, and 9; 15 wherein x is selected from the group consisting of 0,1,2,3,4, 5, 6,7, 8, and 9; wherein y is selected from the group consisting of 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9; -8- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 wherein z is selected from the group consisting of 0,1,2,3,4, 5,6, 7, 8, and 9; wherein m is selected from the group consisting of 0,1,2, 3,4, 5,6, 7, 8, and 9; 5 wherein n is selected from the group consisting of 0,1,2,3,4, 5,6, 7, 8, and 9; wherein A1 and A* are each independently selected from the group consisting of —NRB(CO)NR9— —(CO)NR8—-, —NR8(CO>—, —NR8—, —O—, —S—, —S(=0)—, — S02—, —S02NR8—, —NR8S02-, and salts thereof; 10 wherein Q and T are each independently selected from the group consisting of —:NRl0(CO)NRn— — and wherein when substituted, said alkylene, cycloalkylene or arylene in said Q and/or T are each independently substituted with one or more substituent groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, halo, bromo, chloro, iodo, fluoro, —N3, —CN, —NC, —SH, —N02, —NH2, (CrC20)alkyl, phenyl, (C3- A- WO 2006/004613 PCT7US2005/022626 C20)cycloalkyl, (CrC20)alkoxy, (CVCyheteroaryl, (C3-C25)heterocyclic, (C2-C20)alkenyl, (C3-C20) cycloalkenyl, (C2-C20)alkynyl, (Cj-C20)cycloalkynyl, (C5-C25)aryl, perhalo(C,-C2o)alkyl, (CrC20)alkyl—0— phenyl—0—, (C3-C20)cycloalkyl—0—, (C3-C25)heteroaryl—0—, (C3-C25)heterocyclic—0—■,.

In the present application, "Ghy" is a guanylhydrazone group; GhyCH— is NH2C(=NH)—NH—N=CH—; and GhyCH3— is NH2C(=NH)—NH—N=€CH3—. In another embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition of the carboxylic 20 acid salt of the guanylhydrazone compound together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier is provided. The invention further provides a tablet formulation comprising the carboxylic acid salt of the guanylhydrazone compound in an admixture with excipients. One embodiment formulation includes the carboxylic acid salt of the WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 guanylhydrazone compound, a compression aid such as microcrystalline cellulose, an additive to provide sheen to the table such as anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate, a disintegrant such as sodium starch glycolate and a lubricant such as magnesium stearate. 5 In addition the invention provides a capsule formulation comprising the carboxylic acid salt of the guanylhydrazone compound in an admixture with excipients. A preferred formulation includes the salt, an inert diluent, a dried disintegrant and a lubricant as described above. The invention further provides the carboxylic acid salt of the 10 guanylhydrazone compound in sterile aqueous solution for parenteral administration. Preferably such solution contains from 10 to 40% by volume of propylene glycol and preferably also sufficient sodium chloride to avoid haemolysis, e.g. about 1% w/v. The invention also provides the carboxylic acid salt of the guanylhydrazone compound for use in treating diseases and conditions 15 as described in the patents and patent application publications listed above. The guanylhydrazone compounds and certain carboxylic acids in combination thereof in the present invention can exist in several tautomeric forms, and geometric isomers and mixtures thereof. All such tautomeric forms are included within the scope of the present invention. Tautomers exist as mixtures of 20 tautomers in solution. In solid form, usually one tautomer predominates. Even though one tautomer may be described, the present invention includes all tautomers of the present compounds. The salt structures formed can be in either mono, di, tri, tetra or other salt structures and combinations thereof. The present invention also includes WO 2006/004613 PCT/TJS2005/022626 atropisomers of the present invention. Atropisomers refer to compounds of the invention that can be separated into rotationally restricted isomers. The compounds of this invention may contain olefin-like double bonds. When such bonds are present, the compounds of the invention exist as cis and trans 5 configurations and as mixtures thereof. The present invention also includes isotopically-labeled acid compounds, which are identical to those recited above, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that 10 can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 180,170,31P, 32P, 35S, 18F, and 36C1, respectively. Compounds of the present invention, prodrugs thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds or of said prodrugs which contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or 15 other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of this invention. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H and 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i.e., 3H, and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and 20 detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, would be preferred in some circumstances.

The salts may be suitably prepared according to known methods, for example, by contacting the free base form of the guanylhydrazone containing 5 compound with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce a salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt with a suitable dilute aqueous base solution such as dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonia and sodium bicarbonate. The free base forms differ from their 10 corresponding salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to their corresponding free base forms for purposes of this invention. The salts cam be administered in combination with one or more substantially nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, adjuvants 15 or diluents. The compositions of the present invention may be prepared in any conventional solid or liquid carrier or diluent and optionally any conventional pharmaceutically-made adjuvant at suitable dosage level in a known way. The preferred preparations are in administrable form which is suitable for oral application. These administrable forms, for example, include pills, tablets, film 20 tablets, coated tablets, capsules, powders and deposits. Forms other than orally administrable forms are also possible. The compounds of the present invention and/or pharmaceutical preparations containing said compounds may be administered by any appropriate means, including but not limited to injection (intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, subcutaneous) by -tn- WO 2006/004613 PCTAJS2005/022626 absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (oral mucosa, rectal and vaginal epithelial linings, nasopharyngial mucosa, intestinal mucosa); orally, rectally, transdermally, topically, intradermally, intragastrally, intracutanly, intravaginally, intravasally, intranasally, intrabuccally, percutanly, sublingually, or 5 any other means available within the pharmaceutical arts. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be suitably selected with respect to the intended form of administration, i.e. oral tablets, capsules (either solid-filled, semi-solid filled or liquid filled), powders for constitution, oral gels, elixirs, dispersible granules, syrups, suspensions, and the like, and consistent with 10 conventional pharmaceutical practices. For example, for oral administration in the form of tablets or capsules, the salt may be combined with any oral nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier, such as lactose, starch, sucrose, cellulose, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, talc, mannitol, ethyl alcohol (liquid.forms) and the like. Moreover, when desired or needed, suitable 15 binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents and coloring agents may also be incorporated in the mixture. Powders and tablets may be comprised of from about 5 to about 95 percent by weight of the inventive compound, salt thereof, or a mixture of compound and salt, which range includes all values and subranges therebetween, including 10,15, 20,25,30,35,40, 45,50, 55, 60, 65, 70,75, 80, 20 85, and 90 % by weight.

Disintegrants include starch, methylcellulose, guar gum and the like. Sweetening and flavoring agents and preservatives may also be included where appropriate. Some of the terms noted above, namely disintegrants, diluents, lubricants, binders and the like, are 5 discussed in more detail below. Additionally, the compounds or compositions of the present invention may be formulated in sustained release form to provide the rate controlled release of any one or more of the components or active ingredients to optimize the therapeutic effects, i.e. antihistaminic activity and the like. Suitable dosage forms for 10 sustained release include layered tablets containing layers of various disintegration rates or controlled release polymeric matrices impregnated with the active components and shaped in tablet form or capsules containing such impregnated or encapsulated porous polymeric matrices. Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. 15 Nonlimiting examples include water, ethanol, ethanolic, water-ethanol or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injections or addition of sweeteners and opacifiers for oral solutions, suspensions and emulsions. Liquid form preparation's may also include solutions for intranasal administration. Aerosol preparations suitable for inhalation may include solutions and 20 solids in powder form, which may be in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as inert compressed gas, e.g. nitrogen. For preparing suppositories, a low melting wax such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides such as cocoa butter is first melted, and the active ingredient is dispersed homogeneously therein by stirring or similar mixing. The molten WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool and thereby solidify. Also included are solid form preparations which are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for either oral or 5 parenteral administration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. The compounds of the present invention may also be deliverable transdermally. The transdermal compositions may take the form of creams, lotions, aerosols and/or emulsions and can be included in a transdermal patch of 10 the matrix or reservoir type as are conventional in the art for this purpose. The term capsule refers to a special container or enclosure made of methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohols, or denatured gelatins or starch for holding or containing compositions comprising the active ingredients. Hard shell capsules are typically made of blends of relatively high gel strength bone and pork skin gelatins. 15 The capsule itself may contain small amounts of dyes, opaquing agents, plasticizers and preservatives. Tablet means compressed or molded solid dosage form containing the active ingredients with suitable diluents. The tablet can be prepared by compression of mixtures or granulations obtained by wet granulation, dry 20 granulation or by compaction well known to a person skilled in the art. Oral gels refers to the active ingredients dispersed or solubilized in a hydrophillic semi-solid matrix. Powders for constitution refers to powder blends containing the active ingredients and suitable diluents which can be suspended in water or juices. WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 Suitable diluents are substances that usually make up the major portion of the composition or dosage form. Suitable diluents include sugars such as lactose, sucrose, mannitol and sorbitol, starches derived from wheat, corn rice and potato, and celluloses such as 5 microcrystalline cellulose. The amount of diluent in the composition can range from about 5 to about 95% by weight of the total composition, preferably from about 25 to about 75%, more preferably from about 30 to about 60% by weight. The term disintegrants refers to materials added to the composition to help it break apart (disintegrate) and release the medicaments. Suitable disintegrants 10 include starches, "cold water soluble" modified starches such as sodium carboxymethyl starch, natural and synthetic gums such as locust bean, karaya, guar, tragacanth and agar, cellulose derivatives such as methylcellulose and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, microcrystalline celluloses and cross-linked microcrystalline celluloses such as sodium croscarmellose, alginates such as alginic 15 acid and sodium alginate, clays such as bentonites, and effervescent mixtures. The amount of disintegrant in the composition can range from about 2 to about 20% by weight of the composition, more preferably from about 5 to about 10% by weight. Binders characterize substances that bind or "glue" powders together and make them cohesive by forming granules, thus serving as the "adhesive" in the 20 formulation. Binders add cohesive strength already available in the diluent or bulking agent. Suitable binders include sugars such as sucrose, starches derived from wheat, corn rice and potato; natural gums such as acacia, gelatin and tragacanth; derivatives of seaweed such as alginic acid, sodium alginate and ammom'um calcium alginate; cellulosic materials such as methylcellulose and -7/- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 sodium carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose; polyvinylpyrrolidone; and inorganics such as magnesium aluminum silicate. The amount of binder in the composition can range from about 2 to about 20% by weight of the composition, more preferably from about 3 to about 10% by weight, 5 even more preferably from about 3 to about 6% by weight Lubricant refers to a substance added to the dosage form to enable the tablet, granules, etc. after it has been compressed, to release from the mold or die by reducing friction or wear. Suitable lubricants include metallic stearates such as magnesium stearate, calcium stearate or potassium stearate; stearic acid; high 10 melting point waxes; and water soluble lubricants such as sodium chloride, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium oleate, polyethylene glycols and d,l-leucine. Lubricants are usually added at the very last step before compression, since they must be present on the surfaces of the granules and in between them and the parts of the tablet press. The amount of lubricant in the composition can range from 15 about 0.2 to about 5% by weight of the composition, preferably from about 0.5 to about 2%, more preferably from about 0.3 to about 1.5% by weight. Glidents are materials that prevent caking and improve the flow characteristics of granulations, so that flow is smooth and uniform. Suitable glidents include silicon dioxide and talc. The amount of glident in the composition 20 can range from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the total composition, preferably from about 0.5 to about 2% by weight. Coloring agents are excipients that provide coloration to the composition or the dosage form. Such excipients can include food grade dyes and food grade dyes adsorbed onto a suitable adsorbent such as clay or aluminum oxide. The amount of WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 the coloring agent can vary from about 0.1 to about 5% by weight of the composition, preferably from about 0.1 to about 1%. Other techniques for formulation and administration may be found in "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences" Mack Publishing Co., Easton Pa, the entire 5 contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. A suitable composition comprising at least one compound of the invention may be a solution of the compound in a suitable liquid pharmaceutical carrier or any other formulation such as tablets, pills, film tablets, coated tablets, dragees, capsules, powders and deposits, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions, emulsions, and the like. 10 The term "treating" as used herein refers to reversing, alleviating, inhibiting the progress of, or preventing the disorder or condition to which the term applies, or one or more symptoms of the disorder or condition. The term "treatment" as used herein refers to the act of treating as the term is defined above. The compound of the present invention may exist in any convenient 15 crystalline, semicrystalline, or amorphous form. These may be achieved via typical crystallization routes including vacuum crystallization or spray drying. Depending on the solublity desired, the amorphous form obtained by, e.g., spray-drying may be preferred. The spray drying may be carried out from aqueous, ethanolic, organic, or mixed aqueous ethanolic solutions of the salt or a mixture of the salt 20 and the free base compound. The compound and/or salt may exist in a form comprising one or more waters of hydration. The guanylhydrazone compound is suitably administered in the form of a salt of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt desirably satisfies one or more of the following physiochemical criteria: (1) good -73- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 solubility; (2) good stability; (3) non-hydroseopicity; (4) processability for oral, parenteral, or topical formulations, etc. A range of pharmaceutically acceptable guanylhydrazone salts have been made and evaluated using these criteria. The present salts desirably have good aqueous solubility and good 5 bioavailability. Usually a solubility of greater than 1 mg/mL at pH 1-7.5 is sought although higher solubilities are required to formulate injections. In addition, salts which provide solutions having a pH close to that of blood (7.4) are preferred because they are readily biocompatible and can easily be buffered to the required pH range without altering their solubility. The L-lactate salt of Semapimod 10 exhibits very good solubility. Good stability in the solid state is desirable for tablets and capsules, while good stability in solution is required for an aqueous injection. In the case of tablets the vehicle can be comprised of, for instance, microcrystalline cellulose in 50:50 combination with anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate. In the case of capsules the 15 vehicles can be comprised of, for instance, mannitol in 4:1 combination with dried maize starch. In order to provide stable formulations it is desirable to have a non-hygroscopic salt. In the solid state where drug content is high, absorbed films of moisture can act as a vector for hydrolysis and chemical breakdown. It is the hygroscopic nature of a drug or its salt which contributes to the free moisture 20 which is normally responsible for instability. The present salts are desirably easily processed, i.e. they have good compression properties and also the ability not to stick or adhere to the tablet making machinery. For high dose formulations, good compressibility is desirable in terms of making elegant tablets. With lower dose tablets the need for good -vt- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 compressibility can be eliminated to a certain extent by the use of suitable diluting excipients called compression aids. Microcrystalline cellulose is a commonly used compression aid. EXAMPLES 5 In order that the present invention be more readily understood, reference is now made to the following Examples, which are not intended to be limiting unless otherwise indicated. EXAMPLE 1 Procedure for Semapimod free base preparation: 10 An AG1-X8 resin from Bio-Rad (20-50 mesh, hydroxide form, 20 g) was swished in 100 mL of 1N NaOH solution at room temp, for about 5 minutes, and was filtered. The resin was then rinsed with 100 mL of H20, followed by 200 mL of MeOH. The resin was then added to 50 mL of a MeOH solution containing 2 g of the Semapimod-4 HC1 salt. The mixture was then stirred at room temp, for 60 15 min, and then filtered. The resin was rinsed with about 50 mL of MeOH. The combined filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 1.72 g of a light yellow solid. HPLC analysis of the product showed 98.9% purity. The product prepared from the same procedure was subjected to elemental analysis, and the results showed a 20 closer match to Semapimod-4 H20. 'H NMR of the product showed the same pattern of spectrum as the starting material, but with the signals from the methyl group and the aromatic hydrogen slightly shifted up-field. Recovery from this process was usually more than 95%. EXAMPLE 2 -75- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 Solubility of Semapimod-2 HC1/4 H20: The product isolated as Semapimod-2 HC1/4 H20 was added to ca. 2 mL of solvents (H20,5% Dextrose solution, PBS, and 0.9% NaCl solution), and was sonicated at room temperature until the solid suspended in the solution. The 5 mixture was passed through a Nylon syringe filter, and then 0.5 mL of the filtrate was diluted with MeOH before injection into the HPLC. The concentration of Semapimod-2 HCl/ 4 H20 in the filtrate was calculated by comparing the results with a standard solution prepared from Semapimod-4 HCl/ 4 H20. For reference purpose, the solubility of Semapimod-4 HCl/ 4 H20 was determined according to 10 the previous procedure. The solubility of Semapimod-2 HC1/4 H20 was examined and is listed below: H20: ca.9.54mg/mL 5% Dextrose: 13.44 mg/mL 15 PBS: 0 0.9% NaCl soln: 0 The solubility of Semapimod-4 HC1/4 H20 H20: 14.15 mg/mL EXAMPLE 3 20 Preparation of Semapimod (CNI-1493) salts: acids CNI-1493 free base CNI-1493 salts MeOH -16- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 The following Semapimod salts were prepared according to the procedure described above. The results are summarized in the following Table: TABLE!

The Semapimod sulfate precipitated out of the solution as a white solid, and the isolated product was not soluble in DMSO-d6, methanol-d4, or D2. EXAMPLE 4 Solubility Testing 15 The Semapimod salts mentioned in the above table were subjected to solubility tests using the same procedure outlined above. The results were compared to a standard solution prepared from Semapimod-4 HCl/4 H20 to determine the concentration of the salts in either H20 or 5% dextrose solution. The results are listed in the following table: -77- WO 2006/004613 PCT/US2005/022626 TABLEH Solubility in Hp1, (mg/mL)2 Solubility in 5% dextrose solution, (mg/mL)2 18.1 ^42.7 * 49.9 ;>46.4 0 Salts 43.3 2: 51.8 *59.2 35.4 0 acetate L-glutamate L-lactate mesylate sulfate 1H20 was from Pharmco, HPLC grade, and was used without further modification. 2 The molecular weight of each salt was assumed 900 to get the 10 approximate readings in mg/mL. For Semapimod glutamate and lactate, both salts appeared to be soluble freely in H20 and 5% dextrose solution. To conserve the products, solutions less than saturation used in the solubility test. It will be recognized by those skilled in the art that changes can be made to 15 the embodiments of the invention without departing from the broad inventive concepts thereof. It is understood, therefore, that this invention is not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed, but is intended to cover all modifications which are within the spirit and scope of the invention.
