Novel non-radioactive iodine substituted amyloid binding compounds and amyloid binding compounds which are readily iodinated are further aspects or the invention.
Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel compounds and their use for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease and other diseases characterized by presence of amyloidosis. In particular, this invention relates to compounds which selectively bind to amyloid structures in the body and which can be readily iodinated, the radioactive iodine substituted derivatives thereof, and the diagnosis of amyloid associated diseases with the radiolabeled derivatives.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent cause of dementia in the United States and is currently the fourth most common cause of death. The disease can strike persons as young as 40-50 years of age and affects over three million individuals. The origin of the disease is unknown, and because the presence of the disease is difficult to determine without invasive biopsy, its time of onset is unknown. The condition is characterized by impairments in memory, cognition, language and mobility, and these conditions become progressively more severe with time. Neuropathological examination of the brains of affected individuals discloses the presence of several characteristic abnormalities: neuritic plaques consisting of abnormal neuronal axon terminals associated with a core of extra-cellular amyloid protein; neurofibrillary tangles comprised of bundles of cross-linked protein filaments which have accumulated in the neuronal cell bodies; and granulovacuolar degeneration which consists of intercellular vacuoles present mostly in hippocampal pyramidal neurons.
In addition, a strong correlation has been found between the density of amyloid-containing plaques in the cortex of AD victims at autopsy and the severity of their cognitive defects. Until recently, diagnosis of AD was based on clinical criteria involving clinical diagnosis of physical and mental impairment and determination that other diseases with the same characteristics were not the cause of the impairments.
Post-mortem slices of brain tissue of victims of Alzheimer's disease have been shown to exhibit the presence of amyloid (an amorphous mixture of protein, carbohydrate and lipid complexes) in the form of proteinaceous extracellular cores of the neuritic plaques characteristic of the disease. The amyloid cores of such senile plaques are composed of microscopic fibrils whose protein is arranged in a predominately .beta.-pleated sheet configuration. AD plaque amyloid appears to contain one or more characteristic protein constituents, and some have been isolated and purified. Vascular deposits of anyloid fibrils in non-Alzheimer's amyloidoses have been shown to be derived from an abnormal serum protein by Glenner, G. New Eng.J.Med. 302:1283-1291 (1980). The genetic locus for the amyloid protein has been localized to chromosome 21 as reported by George-Hyslop et al, Science. 235:885-890 (1987) and Tanzi et al, Science. 235:880-884 (1987). Isolation and partial sequencing of the gene has been reported by Goldaber et al, Science. 235:877-880 (1987), and partial sequencing of at least one of the amyloid AD proteins has been reported by Glenner, G. et al, Biochemical and Biophysical Communications. 120:885-890 (1984).
More recently, immunoassay methods have been developed for detecting the presence of neurochemical markers in AD patients and to detect an AD related amyloid protein in cerebral spinal fluid as summarized by Warner, M. Anal.Chem. 59:1203A-1204A (1987). These new methods, while being a major advance over the earlier method for diagnosing AD, have not proven to detect AD in all patients, particularly at early stages of the disease.
Because Alzheimer's disease is slow in onset, can first appear as early as the fifth decade of life, and is progressive in nature, the efficiency of a cure could critically depend upon early detection. Additionally, the value of any new therapy in alleviating of curing the disease could be better ascertained if a rapid, safe and effective diagnostic procedure were available to monitor the progress of AD patients following treatment.
The most advanced diagnostic tests for AD detection developed to date determined the AD-assoalleviating of curing the disease could be better ascertained if a rapid, safe and effective diagnostic procedure were available to monitor the progress of AD patients following treatment.
The most advanced diagnostic tests for AD detection developed to date determined the AD-associated amyloid protein in spinal fluid using an antibody binding selectively therewith. A spinal tap procedure is required to obtain a sample for testing. Such a procedure is painful, invasive, potentially dangerous, costly, and the patient often must be hospitalized overnight for observation.
Cerebrovascular amyloidosis has been observed only in patients with Alzheimer's disease and adult Down's syndrome by Glenner, G., COLD SPRING HARBOR SYMPOSIUM. pp 137-144 (1983) and a familial Icelandic cerebrovascular amyloidosis syndrome by Cohen, et al, J.Exp.Med. 158:623-628 (1983). The latter conditions have characteristics other than dementia which are easily determined and can be distinguished from AD. Amyloid thus can be used as a chemical marker for the disease. Non-cerebral amyloid is an extracellular, amorphous, eosinophilic material most commonly arising as a consequence of chronic inflammatory disease of long standing. Spleen, liver, kidneys, adrenals, lymph nodes and pancreas are the organs usually affected. Gratuitously, amyloid of this type was referred to as secondary or typical. Primary, or atypical amyloid is usually found in muscle and the cardiovascular system, but may be more conveniently diagnosed in rectal, skin or gingival biopsies. It arises in the basence of any obvious predisposing inflammatory disease.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Congo Red and other benzidine-type dyes such as Congo Corinth, Benzopurpuri 4B, Vital Red, and Trypan Blue stain amyloid selectively as reported by Puchtler, H. et al, "On the binding of Congo Red by amyloid." J.Histochem.Cytochem. 10:35-364 (1962). The stained amyloid is characterized by a dichroic appearance, the Congo Red stained amyloid showing a green polarization color. Puchtler, H. et al, "Application of thiazole dyes to amyloid under conditions of direct cotton dyeing: correlation of histochemical and chemical data." Histochem. 77:431-445 (1983) describes amyloid staining and fluorescence characteristics of Phorwhite BBU, Thioflavine S, Congo Red, Diphenyl Brilliant Yellow 8G, Clayton Yellow, Thiazol Yellow, Thioflavin T, Seto Flavine T, Erie Pink 2B, Thiazine Red R, Geranine G, Piphenyl Chlorine Yellow FF, Direct Yellow 29, Sirius Supra Yellow 5G and Solophenyl Yellow FFL. Studies of thiazole dyes, Primulin, Thioflavine S and Thioflavine T as amyloid staining dyes were reported by Kelenyi, G., "On the histochemistry of azo group-free thiazole dyes." J.Histochem.Cytochem. 15:172-180 (1967).
The dichroic binding was determined to be the result of the .beta.-pleated sheet structure which is the common characteristic of amyloid proteins, independently of the diverse chemical structure of the various amyloid tissues by Glenner, G. "Amyloid deposits and amyloidosis: The .beta.-fibrilloses (first of two parts). New England, J. Med. 302:1283-1292 (1980).
The non-invasive techinique for diagnosis of amyloidosis comprising the Congo Red uptake method of Bennhold was described as inconstant and of dubious diagnostic value by Glenner, G., "Amyloid deposits and amyloidosis: the .beta.-fibrilloses (second of two parts)." New England J.Med. 302:1333-1343 (1980). He also describes and lists the diseases associated with amyloidosis and their diverse origin. The common factor for the diseases was the .beta.-pleated structure of the amyloid proteins, and the causes for these deposits appeared to be diverse.
Efforst to improve the method of Bennhold first studies the effects of different dosing schedules and selecting different times for determining depletion of the Congo Red levels in seruym by Unger, P. et al, "Study of the disappearance of Congo Red from the blood of non-amyloid subjects and patients with amyloidosis." J.Clin.Invest. 27:111 (1948). In efforts to reduce the amount of Congo Red required in this procedure, Knorpp, C. et al, "Radiosulfur (S.sup.35) labeled Congo Red dye." J.Nucl.Med. 1:23-30 (1960) synthesized and radiosulfur-labeled Congo Red dye and investigated it use in diagnosing amyloidosis. .sup.35 S (half life 87.2 days) was selected as the only inorganic tracer suitable for the intended synthesis. The plasma level was then quantified by measuring the radioactive label.
Tubis, M. et al, "The preparation and use of radioiodinated Congo Red in detecting amyloidosis." J.Amer.Pharm.Ass. 49:422 (1960) described synthesis of a Congo Red substituted at one or more of the 3,3',5 and 5' positions. In one procedure, the Congo Red was prepared by diazotizing the radioiodinated benzidines and coupling with sodium naphthalate. In another procedure of direct radioiodination, the Congo Red was refluxed in a chloroform solution containing 0.0163 mg of .sup.131 ICI for 8 to 12 hours followed by dialysis or column treatment with an anion exchange resin in either the OH or Cl form. These methods are not suitable for preparing a radiolabeling with .sup.123 I which has a half-life of 13.1 hours. .sup.123 I has an optimum emission spectrum of 0.1590 MeV representing 83%. Other radioactive forms of iodine such as .sup.131 I have longer half-lives, increasing the patient exposure to radiation and/or more than one significant emission energy spike, severely limiting the value of diagnostic imaging. Tubis, M. et al, "The use of radioiodinated Congo Red in the study of amyloidosis." Nuklear Medizin. 3:25-38 (1962) studied the use of .sup.131 I-labeled Congo Red in the diagnosis of amyloidosis in humans. The use of the radiolabeled Congo Red permitted easy quantification of the disappearance of the dye. However, .sup.131 I has multiple decay energy emissions and an undesirably long half-life of 8.1 days, and it is not suitable for routine in vivo diagnostic use. The radioactive label was used in serum depletion and photoscans of amyloid affected organs.
Kaye, M. et al, "A radioiodinated azo dye with affinity for amyloid: a preliminary report." Canad.Med.Ass.J. 30:694 (1964) reported developing a Trypan Blue substituted at the 8-position with a radioactive iodine compound using a "Sandmeyer reaction". Use of the product in selectively staining amyloid tissue and metabolic studies were reported.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The method of this invention for determining the presence and location of amyloid deposits in an organ or area of a patient comprises intravenous administration of an imaging effective quantity of a compound of Formulas I, II, III or IV 9"Imaging Compounds"), or a pharmaceutically acceptable, water-soluble salt thereof to the patient; and sensing radiation emitted form the organ or area being examined.
The imaging compounds are formed from precursor compounds which can be readily and quickly iodinated with I.sup.*.
The bisdiazobenzidine compounds precursors of Formula VII are formed from the respective, known diamino compounds of Formula VI by the following reaction sequence. ##STR5## wherein R.sub.12, R.sub.13, R.sub.14 and R.sub.15 are as previously described with respect to Formula I and Y is Cl.sup.31 or BF.sub.4.sup.-. The diamino compounds of Formula VI are known in the art. These are diazotized by reaction with two molar equivalents of sodium nitrite in aqueous acid solution (HCl, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, or the like) to yield the diazo compounds of Formula VII, a starting material for several groups of diazo compounds of this invention.
In general, all of the aniline and benzidine compounds described herein can be diazotized in aqueous acid (e.g., HCl, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, etc.) with sodium nitrite (NaNO.sub.2). One equivalent of acid per amine group is used to generate the acid salt. The mixture is maintained at -5 C. to 15.degree. C. in an ice/solvent bath. One additional equivalent of acid per amine group is added to generate nitrous acid from added sodium nitrite. The aqueous diazonium salt is used within 10 to 20 minutes of preparation.
An alternate method of diazotization which can be used for neutral aromatic amines comprises the reaction of the amine with 1.5 to 2 molar equivalents of boron trifluoride etherate in THF at -5.degree. C. to 15.degree. C., followed by the addition of one molar equivalent of t-butyl nitrite per amine group. The resulting tetrafluoroborate salt precipitates from the solution and can be isolated and stored at temperatures below 0.degree. C. The salts can be dissolved in a polar organic solvent such as alcohol and added to the selected substrate for diazo coupling.
The compounds of Formula I are formed in two stages. The diazo compounds of Formula VII are reacted with one molar equivalent of the sulfonic acid compounds of Formula VIII in aqueous solution. ##STR6## In the Formulas VIII and IX, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.12, R.sub.13, R.sub.14 and R.sub.15 are as identified above with respect to Formula I and Y is an anion such as Cl.sup.- or BF.sub.4.sup.-, the reaction product is then reacted with a molar equivalent of an iodophenyl compound of Formula X, yielding the compounds of Formula XI'. ##STR7## In Formulas X and XI, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, R.sub.9, R.sub.10, R.sub.12, R.sub.13, R.sub.14 and R.sub.15 are as identified above with respect to Formula I.
The diazo coupling reactions used to form the compounds of this invention involve the coupling of diazo compounds to aromatic amines and phenols. In general, the coupling reactions are carried out at -5.degree. C. to 20.degree. C. in aqueous or aqueous alcohol solutions over a reaction period of from 10 minutes to 2 hours. The positions of coupling are determined by both steric factors and pH of the reaction solution. To achieve coupling ortho or para to an amine group, the solution is maintained in a pH range of about from 3 to 7. To achieve coupling ortho or para to a hydroxy group, the solution is maintained at pH from 8 to 11. When two diazo couplings are to be effected, for example with bisdiazobenzidines, the less reactive substrate is preferably coupled first. If acid and base couplings are required, the acid coupling is effected first to avoid the excessive decomposition of the diazonium group which can occur in basic solutions. When more than one activated ring position is available for coupling, the coupling usually occurs at the less sterically hindered position. Details of diazo coupling reactions are provided by Zollinger, H., AZO and DIAZO CHEMISTRY: ALIPHATIC AND AROMATIC COMPOUNDS. New York: Interscience Publishers (1961), the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The radioiodinated compounds of Formula I are formed by iodide exchange of the compounds of Formula XI in absolute ethanol using NaI.sup.*, where I.sup.* represents a radioactive form of iodine.
(XI)+NaI.sup.* .fwdarw.(I)
In general, any of the azo dyes with an available activated aromatic ring position can be directly iodinated by electrophilic substitution. This is effected by reacting the dye with a suitable source of iodine such as iodine monochloride (ICI), or a 1:1 mixture of NaI and an oxidizing agent such as Chloramine-T, t-butyl hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and the like, in a polar solvent such as an alcohol, DMF, water, etc. The iodination can occur either para or ortho to a hydroxy or amine group.
In general, the azo dyes can be radioiodinated either by direct iodination ;of non-iodinated azo dyes, as described above, using a source of radioactive iodine (.sup.125 I, .sup.123 I, etc.) and preferably .sup.123 I or by iodine exchange with non-radioactive iodine groups on dyes using sources of the radioactive iodine, as described above for radioiodinating the iodine substituted compounds of Formula XI. The exchange is carried out in a polar solvent such as alcohols, DMF, water, acetic acid, and the like at 100.degree. C. to 200.degree. C. in a sealed ampule for from 30 minutes to 24 hours. The concentration of dye in 1 to 2 mL of solvent is at least 0.1 M (or saturated), with 0.2 to 10 mCi of carrier free radioactive iodide as NaI.sup.*.
The anionic acid dyes (sulfonates, carboxylates, etc.) can be purified by reverse phase thin layer chromatography (RPTLC) on C.sub.18 -silica gel plates such as (20.times.20 cm Whatman KC18F, 200 .mu.m thick) eluting with a mixture of 80:20:0.2 v/v/v methanol:water:trifluoroacetic acid. By repeating the above procedure on the same sample, radiochemical purities greater or equal to 99 percent can be obtained.
The non-ionic dyes can be purified by normal phase thin layer chromatography (NPTLC) ON 60A silica gel plates (Whatman Silica 60A (60 Agnstroms), PK6F 20.times.20 cm, 250 .mu.m thickness) eluted with dichloromethane/methanol mixtures of 50:50 to 90:10 v/v, or toluene/ethyl acetate mixtures of 80:20 v/v.
Purifications can also be carried out by HPLC or gravity column methods. A complete description of dye chromatography is given by Venkataraman, K., THE ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY OF SYNTHETIC DYES. New York: John Wiley & Sons (1977), the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The compounds of Formula II are synthesized by the following procedure.
The substituted naphthalene sulfonic acids of Formula XII are known compounds. The bis-diazobenzidine of Formula VII is added to the aqueous solution containing at least two molar equivalents of the naphthalene sulfonic acid of Formula XII at pH 4 to 6.5 to form the amyloid binding diazo compounds of Formula XIV. ##STR8## In Formulas XII and XIII, R.sub.20, R.sub.21, R.sub.22, R.sub.23, R.sub.24, R.sub.25, R.sub.26, R.sub.27, R.sub.28, R.sub.29, R.sub.30, R.sub.31, R.sub.32, and R.sub.33 are as described above with respect to Formula II. The products are purified by conventional procedures such as are described above.
The compounds of Formula XIII are readily iodinated by reaction with iodine monochloride or a 1:1 mixture of Chloramine-T and sodium iodide in aqueous methanol for one hour, the molar ratios of the iodine compound determining whether the reaction product of Formula XIV is to be mono-iodinated or di-iodinated. ##STR9## In Formula XIV, R.sub.20, R.sub.21, R.sub.22, R.sub.23, R.sub.24, R.sub.25, R.sub.26, R.sub.27, R.sub.28, R.sub.29, R.sub.30, R.sub.31, R.sub.32, R.sub.33, X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3 and X.sub.4 are as described above with respect to Formula II.
In the above procedure, the iodine source can be radioactive iodine to directly yield the compounds of Formula II. Alternatively, if a non-radioactive form of iodine is used and the iodine substituent of the compounds of Formula XIV are non-radioactive, the product can be readily labeled with radioactive iodine by iodide exchange in absolute ethanol using NaI.sup.* as described above.
(XIV)+NaI.sup.* .fwdarw.(II)
The products are purified by conventional procedures as described above.
The compounds of Formula III can be synthesized by reacting a compound of Formula VIII with the diazoiodobenzene of Formula XV according to the following procedure to form the iodinated diazo amyloid binding compounds of Formula XVI. ##STR10## In Formulas XV and XVI, R.sub.40, R.sub.41, R.sub.42, R.sub.43, R.sub.44, R.sub.45, R.sub.46 and R.sub.47 are as described above with respect to Formula III.
The diazo coupling reaction is carried out as described above.
In the above procedure, the iodine source can be radioactive iodine to directly yield the compounds of Formula III. Alternatively, if a non-radioactive form of iodine is used and the iodine substituent of the compounds of Formula XVI are non-radioactive, the product can be readily labeled with radioactive iodine by iodide exchange in absolute ethanol using NaI.sup.* as described above.
(XVI)+NaI.sup.* =l .fwdarw.(III)
The products are purified by conventional procedures as described above.
The compounds of Formula IV can be prepared by the following procedures. The compounds of Formula XVII are known in the art. They are diazotized by the general procedure described above to yield the diazocompounds of Formula XVIII. ##STR11## In Formulas XVII and XVIII, R.sub.51 and R.sub.52 are as described above with respect to Formula IV, and Y.sub.1 is an anion such as Cl.sup.-, HSO.sub.4.sup.-, BF.sub.4 or the like.
The diazo compound of Formula XVIII is then reacted with the iodobenzene compounds of Formula XIX to yield the amyloid binding diazo compounds of Formula XX. ##STR12## In Formulas XIX and XX, R.sub.50, R.sub.51, R.sub.52, R.sub.53 and R.sub.54 are as described above with respect to Formula IV.
In the above procedure, the iodine source can be radioactive iodine to directly yield the compounds of Formula IV. Alternatively, if a non-radioactive form of iodine is used and the iodine substituent of the compounds of Formula XVI are non-radioactive, the product can be readily labeled with radioactive iodine by iodide exchange in absolute ethanol using NaI.sup.* as described above.
(XX)+NaI.sup.* .fwdarw.(IV)
The products are purified by conventional procedures as described above.
The radioactive agents can be administered by routine procedures. They can be administered orally as solids, solutions or suspensions, or injected intravenously in the form of standard aqueous solutions such as described by REMINGTON'S PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES. 15th Ed., Easton: Mack Publishing Co. pp 1405-1412 and 1461-1487 (1975) and THE NATIONAL FORMULARY XIV. 14th Ed. Washington: American Pharmaceutical Association (1975), the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Such solutions or suspensions can contain conventional, pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic excipients and additives such as salts, buffers, preservatives, and the like. After sufficient time has lapsed for the reagent to reach to area of the body being examined, for example from 30 minutes to 48 hours, the area of the patient under diagnosis is examined by routine imaging techniques such as SPECT and planar scintillation imaging. The distribution of the bound radioactive isotope and its decrease with time is monitored. By comparing the results with data obtained from studies of clinically normal individuals, the presence of cranial or other site deposits of amyloid can be determined, and the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (cranial) or other amyloidosis thereby confirmed.
This invention is further illustrated by the following specific but non-limiting examples. Temperatures are given in degrees Centigrade and percentages as weight percents unless otherwise specified. Procedures which have been previously carried out are presented in the past tense, and procedures which are being constructively reduced to practice in this application are presented in the present tense.





EXAMPLE 1
Radioiodinated Benzo Orange R (IBOR)
Technical grade Benzo Orange R (BOR, Pfalz and Bauer) was purified by extraction with methanol and rotoevaporation to dryness, giving a 25-30% yield of red powder.
BOR (0.10 g, 0.16 mmole) was dissolved in 20 mL of anhydrous methanol giving a deep red solution. To this solution was added 0.0124 g (0.16 mmole) or non-radioactive sodium iodide and 0.09 mCi of na.sup.125 I. After all solids were dissolved, Chloramine-T tris hydrate (0.45 g, 0.16 mmole, Kodak Chemical Co.) in 1 mL of methanol was added with vigorous stirring, the solution was rotoevaporated to dryness. The IBOR was purified by preparative RPTLC with a radiochemical yield of 12%.
Repeating this method using Na.sup.123 I yields the radiolabeled IBOR, 4-amino-3-(4-(1-carboxy-2-hydroxy-3-.sup.123 I-5-phenyldiazo)biphen-4'-yldiazo)-naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid.
EXAMPLE 2
Radioiodinated Benzo Orange R (IBOR)
In alternate iodination method, BOR (0.50 g, 0.82 mmol) was slurried in 50 ml of anhydrous methanol. A solution of ICl (0.14 g, 0.86 mmol) in 0.5 mL of methanol was added with vigorous stirring, resulting in a dark red-brown solution. After 1 hr of stirring, the product was isolated by rotoevaporation. Purification of the IBOR was accomplished by preparative RPTLC with a yield of 70-90%. .sup.1 HMNMR (D.sub.6 -DMSO, 250 MHz) delta 8.74 (d, naphthyl-H), 8.43 (d, naphthyl-H) 8.20-8.32 (S,S,S, naphthyl-H, phenyl-H, phenyl-H), 8.10 (d, benzidine-H), 7.89-7.99 (d,d,d, benzidine-H), 7.73 (S, --NH.sub.2), 7.55 (t,t, naphthyl-H).
This method was repeated using BOR (0.25 g, 0.041 mmol) in 2.5 mL of methanol. Addition of ICl (0.0067 g, 0.042 mmol) in 0.25 mL of methanol containing 0.20 mCi na.sup.125 I gave the radiolabeled product in a radiochemical yield of 32%.
Repeating this procedure but replacing Na.sup.125 I with Na.sup.123 I yields the corresponding .sup.123 IBOR product.
EXAMPLE 3
Radioiodinated Benzo Orange R (IBOR)
In a radiolabelling by iodide exchange, IBOR (10 mg, 0.014 mmol) is slurried in 1 mL of absolute ethanol in a high pressure reaction flask fitted with a teflon cap. Na.sup.125 i, 0.1-10 mCi is added and the flask sealed. The mixture is heated to 150.degree. C. for 6-18 hr. The product is purified by preparative RPTLC.
Repeating this procedure with Na.sup.123 I yields the corresponding .sup.123 I labeled product.
EXAMPLE 4
Diazobiphenyl Compound, Formula VII
3,3-Dimethoxybenzidine (0.98 g, 4 mmole) was slurried in 20 mL of water containing 2 mL of 12 M HCl at 0.degree.C. Sodium nitrite (0.55 g, 8 mmole) in 5 mL water was added with stirring, yielding the chloride salt of 4,4'-bisdiazo-3,3'-dimethoxybiphenyl.

Preparation of Direct Blue 4
1.0 g (4.1 mmole) of 3,3'-dimethoxybenzidine (Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis.) is slurried in 20 mL of water containing 2 mL of 12 M HCl at 0.degree. C. To this mixture is added 0.56 g (8.2 mmole) of sodium nitrite, giving a red solution of bis-diazo-3,3'-dimethoxybenzidine. This solution is added with vigorous stirring to a solution of 2.0 g (8.4 mmol) 4-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid in 200 mL of water adjusted to pH 10 with 1 M NaOH. A deep blue color forms rapidly, and stirring is continued for 1 hr. The pH of the mixture is adjusted to 7.0, and the solvent is removed by rotoevaporation.
The product is purified by dissolving the blue solid in a minimum amount of methanol with a few drops of 1 M NaOH. The solution is spotted on 20 cm.times.20 cm C.sub.18 silica reverse phase TLC plates and eluted with 80:20:0.1 v/v/v methanol/water/trifluoacetic acid. The product is isolated from the silica by extraction with methanol, followed by evaporation to yield 6,6'-(3,3'-dimethoxybiphenyl-4,4'-diyl)bis(azo)bis(4-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid).
