Prodrugs for selective drug delivery

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to therapeutic pharmaceutical agents which are activated intracellularly by reaction with cellular electron carriers or free radicals to cause release of a free and active drug molecule.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The effects of the preponderance of drugs result from their interaction with functional macromolecular components of the organism. Such interaction alters the function of the pertinent cellular component and thereby initiates the series of biochemical and physiological changes that are characteristic of the response to the drug. The term receptor denotes the component of the organism with which the chemical agent interacts. There are fundamental corollaries to the statement that the receptor for a drug can be any functional macromolecular component of the organism. One is that a drug is potentially capable of altering the rate at which any bodily function proceeds; a second is that, by virtue of interactions with specific receptors, drugs do not create effects but merely modulate the rates of ongoing functions. A simple pharmacological dictum thus states that a drug cannot impart a new function to a cell. Functional changes due to a drug result from either enhancement or inhibition of the unperturbed rate. Furthermore, a drug that has no direct action can cause a functional change by competition for a binding site with another, active regulatory ligand of the receptor. Drugs are termed agonists when they cause effects as a result of direct alteration of the fundamental properties of the receptor with which they interact. Compounds that are themselves devoid of intrinsic pharmacological activity but cause effects by inhibition of the action of a specific agonist (eg. by competition for agonist binding sites) are designated as antagonists.
At least from a numerical standpoint, the proteins of the cell form the most important class of drug receptors. Obvious examples are the enzymes of crucial metabolic or regulatory pathways (eg., tyrosine hydroxylase; 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl--CoA reductase), but of equal interest are proteins involved in transport processes (eg. Ca.sup.2+ --ATPase; Na.sup.+ --K.sup.+ --ATPase) or those that are protein kinases which activate other proteins as a consequence of their binding a secondary messenger such as cAMP. Specific binding properties of other cellular constituents can be exploited. Thus, nucleic acids are important drug receptors, particularly for chemotherapeutic approaches to the control of malignancy, and plant lectins shown remarkable specificity for recognition of specific carbohydrate residues in polysaccharides and glycoproteins. Small ions such as Ca.sup.2+ which can function as a regulatory ion or Fe.sup.2+ which can serve as an essential enazmatic cofactor can be exploited as drug receptors. And, drugs can also produce a functional change by a nonreceptor-mediated action. Certain drugs that are structural analogues of normal biological constituents may be incorporated into cellular components and thereby alter their function. This has been termed a "counterfeit incorporation mechanism" and has been implemented with analogues of purines and pyrimidines that can be incorporated into nucleir acids and that have utility in cancer chemotherapy and that have antiviral activity. Also, specific constituents of pathogens can be exploited as receptors. For example, the electron carriers of bacterial can serve as receptors as described in my previous U.S. patent application Ser. No. 948,326, and the replicative enzymes of viruses can be serve as receptors as described below for the virus HIV. Many compounds are known which have receptor or nonreceptor mediated in vitro activity as appears in Handbook of Enzyme Inhibitors, Mahendra Kumor Jain, 1982, Wiley Interscience, New York, hereby incorporated by reference. However, only a small percentage produce the desired functional change in vivo or have a high therapeutic ratio because they are toxic in their free form; they are rapidly inactivated or excreted; or, they cannot obtain access to their target receptor or site of action because they are impermeant to cells or biological barriers such as the blood brain barrier due to unfavorable energetics due, for example, to the possession of polar or charge groups; or, they are toxic as a consequence of being nonselective with regards to their access to and action with receptors in one biological environment or compartment relative to another. In these cases, compounds which demonstrate in vitro efficacy are ineffective therapeutics.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A broad class of pharmaceutical agents is disclosed herein as the Luminide class of pharmaceuicals. Luminide agents are three part or four part molecules where each part is a functionality with a defined purpose. Exemplary Luminides are A-B-C , D-A-B-C, A-D-B-C, and ##STR1## where A represents a functionality which is activatable by the environment and capable of transferring energy from its own excited state to the B functionality which is an energy acceptor. Upon receiving energy from A, B achieves an excited state which relaxes through the heterolytic cleavage of the covalent bond of B with C where C is a drug moiety which is released into the intracellular compartment where activation of A occured. Released C can act locally or at a distant site. D serves as an electron transfer functionality which gains (loses) electrons from (to) the environment and donates (accepts) electrons to (from) A to activate it so that the energy of excited A is transferred to B with release of C as occurs for the three functionality case.
In both cases, free C is a drug molecule. The released drug molecule effects a therapeutic functional change by a mechanism which comprises receptor mediated mechanisms including reversible or irreversible competitve agonism or antagonism including a suicide substrate or transition state analogue mechanism or a noncompetitive or uncompetitve agonism or antagonism or the action is by a nonreceptor mediated mechanism including a "counterfeit incorporation mechanism".
The chemical and physical properties of the Luminide agents such as permeance and reactivity to different oxidoreductase enzymes, electron carriers, or different free radicals including those of oxygen are exploited to control the environment into which C is released. Permeance of the Luminide agent to the blood brain barrier or cell membranes, or affinity of the Luminide agent to plasma proteins which results in a decreased excretion rate relative to free C, or lack of reactivity of extracellular enzymes with the Luminide agent relative to free C are exemplary mechanism where by Luminides provide for the release of active free C in the proper biological compartment or in the presence of the target receptor so that the desired therapeutic change is achieved. Thus, Luminides serve as therapeutic drugs. And, the present invention, Luminides, a broad class of pharmaceutical agents comprises antilipidemic drugs, anticholesterol drugs, contraceptive agents, anticoagulants, anti-inflamatory agents, immuno-suppressive drugs, antiarrhythmic agents, antineoplastic drugs, antihypertensive drugs, epinephrine blocking agents, cardiac inotropic drugs, antidepressant drugs, diuretics, antifungal agents, antibacterial drugs, anxiolytic agents, sedatives, muscle relaxants, anticonvulsants, agents for the treatment of ulcer disease, agents for the treatment of asthma and hypersensitivity reactions, antithroboembolic agents, agents for the treatment of muscular dystrophy, agents to effect a therapeutic abortion, agents for the treatment of anemia, agents to improve allograft survival, agents for the treatment of disorders of purine metabolism, agents for the treatment of ischemic heart disease, agents for the treatment of opiate withdrawal, agents which activate the effects of secondary messenger inositol triphosphate, agents to block spinal reflexes, and antiviral agents including a drug for the treatment of AIDS.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Electron transferring and transporting elements are ubiquitous and are necessary for life. All eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms depend on electron transferring and transporting elements which include metal containing hemes and nonmetal containing molecules such as flavins to convert the energy stored in the chemical bonds of foodstuffs into a form utilizable for the maintenance of the highly negative entropic state of life. The chemical energy conversion process generally involves a coupled series of electron carriers which is called an electron transport chain.
Free radicals of oxygen are produced during aerobic respiration in mitochondria as electrons are carried by electron carriers of the electron transport chain to the ultimate electron acceptor, oxygen, and superoxide and peroxide, partial reduction products of oxygen, are continuously produced during cytosolic hydroxylation and oxygenation reactions as well as during other reactions which involve enzymatic reduction of oxygen. The cytosol as well as mitochondria of aerobic cells contain high concentrations of the enzyme superoxide dismutase which converts superoxide into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. Oxygen radicals which include hydrogen peroxide and superoxide are found in greater concentration in the mitochondria relative to the cytosol because reduction of oxygen occurs to a greater extent in the former compartment; however, appreciable concentration are found in both compartments.
Luminides are agents which are permeant to the desired biological compartment which undergo an oxidation reduction reaction with the target cell's electron carriers or react with free radicals produced as a consequence of electron transport and release a drug moiety into the desired compartment in active form to effect a greater therapeutic effect or therapeutic ratio relative to the free C agent as a consequence of altered pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics such as a desirable kinetics of release, a resistance to inactivation or excretion, greater solubility, enhanced absorption, a diminished toxicity, or greater access to the cellular or biological compartment which is the site of action of C.
Luminide agents are three or four part molecules where each part is a functionality with a defined purpose. Exemplary Luminides are A-B-C, D-A-B-C, A-D-B-C and ##STR2## where A represents a functionality which undergoes an oxidation reduction reaction where electrons are transferred directly between A and the target cell's electron carriers or the electrons are transferred indirectly through an electron transfer functionality, D, which is described in more detail below. Alternatively, A represents a functionality which undergoes a reaction with free radicals of oxygen which are produced as a consequence of electron transport. An excited state is produced in A as a consequence of its participation in one of these reactions. Then A undergoes intramolecular energy transfer from its own excited state to the B functionality which is an energy acceptor. Upon receiving energy from A, B achieves an excited state which relaxes through heterolytic cleavage of the covalent bond of B with C where C is a drug moiety which is released into the environment. D serves as an electron transfer functionality which gains (loses) electrons from (to) the environment and donates (accepts) electrons to (from) A to activate it so that the energy of excited A is transferred to B with release of C as occurs for the three functionality case. In both cases, free C is a drug molecule. The released drug molecule effects a therapeutic functional change by a mechanism which comprises receptor mediated mechanisms including reversible and irrereversible competitive agonism or antagonism including a molecle known as a suicide substrate or a transition state analogue mechanism or a noncompetitive or uncompetitive agonism or antagonism or the action is by a nonreceptor mediated mechanism including a "counterfeit incorporation mechanism".
The energy donating funtionality, A, is a molecule which reacts as previously described to form an excited state of high enough energy so that this subsequently transferred energy is of sufficient magnitude to break the covalent bond between the drug functionality, C, and the energy acceptor functionality, B. Chemiluminescent molecules can form highly excited states of the proper magnitude of energy, can undergo oxidation reduction reactions or react with free radicals, and possess a metastable excited state from which intramolecular energy transfer can occur; thus, they can serve as the A functionality. In general, chemiluminescent molecules relevant to this invention can be placed into three categories: 1) molecules undergoing reaction involving peroxides and oxygen free radicals; 2) molecules undergoing reaction involving oxidation or reduction and 3) molecules undergoing both reaction with peroxides and oxygen free radicals followed by an oxidation or reduction reaction. Molecules of the first category include Lophine and its derivatives, acridinium esters and acridans, tetraphenylpyrrole, phthalhydrazides, acyloins, biacridinium salts, vinylcarbonyls, vinylnitriles, tetrakis (dimethylamino) ethylene, acylperoxides, indoles, tetracarbazoles and active oxalates. Molecules belonging to the second category include ruthenium chelates 2, 6-diaminopyrene, or cation radicals and molecules which follow a Chemically Initiated Electron Exchange Luminescence mechanism such as certain dioxetans and dioxetanones. Dioxene derivatives belong to the third category. They form a dioxetan by reation with superoxide and then produce efficient chemiluminescence by a CIEEL mechanism.
As an example from the first category, the chemiluminescent compound, luminol, has a chemiluminescent maximum in the region 390-400 nm in an aqueous solution. Chemiluminescence is produced by the reaction of luminol with oxygen free radicals where a large fraction of the product molecules are formed in their excited state. The nature of the excited state is electronic, and it has a mean lifetime of the order of 10.sup.-8 seconds which is typically ten thousand times the period of a molecular vibration. Emission involves a quantum mechanically allowed singlet to singlet transition with energy of the order of 75 Kcal/mole. The quantum yield for forming the excited electronic state is 0.5. Because luminol undergoes a chemiluminescent reaction with oxygen radicals, this compound has been used as a molecular probe for these radicals by linkage to a molecule which directs the probe to a cellular compartment. For example, when luminol is attached to carnitine, the probe is transported into mitochondria and the intensity of chemiluminescence produced is proportional to the magnitude of electron transport activity which produces oxygen radicals. The chemiluminescent molecule, lucigenin, is also used as a probe for oxygen free radicals.
As for members of the second category, chemiluminescent molecules which undergo a redox reaction to produce an excited state react directly with electron carriers of the cell or undergo a redox reaction with the electron transfer functionality D.
As for the third category, a D functionality is optional. A chemiluminescent molecule of this category reacts with oxygen free radicals and forms an excited state, and chemiluminescence is produced but properties such as quantum yield or the relative ratio of singlet to triplet excited state can be altered by the transfer of electrons involving for example a D functionality. See Table 1 below for chemiluminescent molecules.

Exemplary energy acceptor molecules include those which demonstrate photochromic behavior with electromagnetic radiation and bleaching agents. If the A functionality is chemiluminescent, then the B functionality is such that the photodissociative drug release spectrum of B overlaps the chemiluminescence spectrum of A.
Triarylmethane dyes react with cyanide to form nitriles called leucocyanides which liberate cyanide ion with a quantum yield of approximately one when irradiated with UV light in the wavelength range of 250 to 320 nm. ##STR19## The spectrum of the photorelease reaction of cyanide ion can be extended to longer wavelengths in the case of triarylmethane dyes by substitutions of a naphthylene for an aryl group and also by using cationic polymethine dyes. The latter form nitriles, which are thermally stable, by the reaction of the carbonium ion of the dye with cyanide. The formation of the nitrile causes the colored dye to be bleached is the case with triarylmethane dyes, and cyanide is released as the dye becomes colored upon absorption of 320-415 nm. Reversible bleaching by an agent and coloration by light is photochromic behavior.
Cationic dyes demonstrate this behavior and include di and triarylmethane dyes, triarylmethane lactones and cyclic ether dyes, cationic indoles, pyronines, phthaleins, oxazines, thiazines, acridines, phenazines, and anthocyanidins, and cationic polymethine dyes and azo and diazopolymethines, styryls, cyanines, hemicyanines, dialkylaminopolyenes, and other related dyes. See Table 2 below for structures for salt isomerism-type photochromic dyes. These photochromic molecules form covalent bonds with a number of agents called bleaching agents because they convert the compounds from colored to colorless form during bond formation. Bleaching agents are diverse and include hydroxide, cyanide, azide, bisulfide, and sulfite compounds, thiocyanate, ferrocyanide, chromate, tetraborate, acetate, nitrite, carbonate, citrate, aluminate, tungstate, molybdate, methoxide, 2-methoxyethoxide, cinnamate, and p-methoxycinnamate salts, and thiols and amines.

The drug functionality, C, includes any molecule which exhibits bleaching behavior with the B functionality and has an increased therapeutic effect or therapeutic ratio as a consequence of its delivery as part of a Luminide agent. For example, Foscarnet, a viral reverse transcriptase inhibitor possesses both a carboxylate and phosphate group which will bleach photochromic compounds; 4-bromocrotonyl-CoA, an acetoacetyl -CoA thiolase inhibitor, possesses a thiol group which will bleach photochromic compounds; L-3-iodo-.alpha.- methyltyrosine, a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, possesses a carboxylate group which will bleach photochromic compounds, and captopril, an antihypertensive pharmaceutical, possesses both a sulfide and carboxylate group which will bleach photochromic compounds. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of these agents are altered via delivery to the site of action by way of a luminide agent such that the therapeutic effect or therapeutic ratio is enhanced.
Other drugs which are not inherently photochromic bleaches in that they lack a nucleophilic group which will form a reversible covalent bond with the B functionality can be derivatized with a known bleaching nucleophilic group such as cinnamate, sulfite, phosphate, carboxylate, thiol, or amine group to transform them into bleaching agents of the B functionality such as a cationic dye.

A Representative Luminide
A representative luminide is the product of the covalent linkage of the polymethine dye with a bleaching drug such as Foscarnet and with a chemiluminescent reactive molecule such as luminol. This conjugate represents a molecule which releases Foscarnet in the presence of oxygen free radicals. The energy of the reaction of luminol with oxygen radicals undergoes intramolecular electronic energy transfer by radiative and nonradiative mechanisms. The latter dominate and include coulombic interactions, dipole-dipole resonance, and exchange interaction. These processes increase the quantum yield for drug release above that which would be produced by luminescence transfer alone. For example, Forster, in a quantum mechanical treatment of resonance transfer, in the region of spectral overlap involving allowed transitions of two well separated molecules has only considered dipole-dipole interactions in deriving an experimentally verified formula which predicts a distance of 5-10 nm as the distance at which transfer and spontaneous decay of the excited donor are equally probable. The formula predicts the transfer probability is inversely proportional to the separation distance raised to the sixth power. However, the donor and accepter functionalities of a Luminide are covalently linked; thus, since the separation distance is of the order of angstroms, the transfer probability is great. In fact, the efficiency of transfer has been studied in certain molecules which consist of two independent chromophores separated by one or more saturated bonds. In such cases, energy transfer over large distances has been observed to be in agreement with predictions from Forster's Theory.
The Luminides can be prepared by known reactions where necessary, appropriate derivatives of the subunits are formed before coupling.
Representative examples of appropriate derivatization and coupling reactions are given in the following examples, illustrating the preparation of representative Luminides. These examples are not to be taken as an exhaustive listing, but only illustrative of the possibilities according to the present invention.
Representative Luminides with Outline of Synthetic Pathway
Luminides synthesis involves the chemical joining of three or four functionalities. A representative luminide of three functionalities comprises an energy donor molecule such as a chemiluminescent molecule, an energy acceptor molecule such as a photochromic molecule, and drug. A representative luminide of four functionalities comprises the mentioned three functionalities and also an electron transfer functionality which can undergo an oxidation reduction reaction.
A three group Luminde can be formed by condensing a photochromic dye functionalized as an acid chloride with a chemiluminescent molecule possessing an alcoholic or amino group to form an ester or amide. The luminide pharmaceutical is then formed by addition of the drug bleaching agent. An exemplary pathway of this type appears in example 1.
Alternatively, the chemiluminescent or/and electron transfer functionality can be linked to the energy acceptor functionality by formation of an ester or amide where the former functionality/functionalities is/are an acid halide as demonstrated in example 15.
Also, functionalities of the electron transfer and energy donor type can be linked to the energy acceptor part by an acylation reaction as demonstrated in examples 2, 3 and 8; by nucleophillic substitution as demonstrated in examples 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 17; by a carbanion mechanism as demonstrated in example 11; by a Grignard reaction as demonstrated in example 14, by a tosylate mechanism as demonstrated in example 13, or by a Wittig reaction as demonstrated in example 16. Similar reaction pathways can be used to link chemiluminescent molecules to energy donor molecules. The list of examples of reaction pathways is intended to be examplary and other pathways can be devised by one skilled in the art. Furthermore, only a representative number of luminides are shown and a vast number of other novel luminides can be made by one skilled in the art following the guidelines herein disclosed.
And, the disclosed exemplary luminides, and components: chemiluminescent molecules, photochromic molecules, energy transfer molecules, and drug molecules can be modified to further candidate components by addition of functional groups by one skilled in the art.

Synthesis of MTL 7-3, and MTL J-1
Step A: Preparation of p-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoyl chloride ##STR211##
In a round bottom flask fitted with a reflux condenser is placed 4 g of p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid and 8 ml of oxalylchloride. The evolution of gas starts immediately and the spontaneous reaction is run at room temperature for 15 minutes. 8 ml of toluene is added and and the mixture is heated to gentle reflux for one hour. The reaction mixture is then distilled to dryness under reduced pressure to produce a blue-green solid which is washed with ether and dried on a watch glass.
Step B: Preparation of p-dimethylaminobenzanilide ##STR212##
A solution of 0.95 g of aniline in 10 ml of dry ether containing 2.2 g of K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 was heated to reflux temperature. To the refluxing mixture 2 g of p-dimethylaminobenzoyl chloride was added as a powder slowly through the condenser port. The reaction was refluxed for 1.5 hours and the ether distilled off. Cold water was added to the residue and the p-dimethylaminobenzanilide collected by filtration. Yield 1.51 g orange-red powder. Anilide functionality confirmed by IR.
Step C: Preparation of p-N,N dimethyl-p-N-ethyl-N-2-chloroethylbenzophenone ##STR213## 1.5 g of dry, powdered p-dimethylbenzanilide, 2.4 g of N-ethyl-N-2-chloroethylaniline, and 1.3 ml of phosphorus oxychloride were mixed in a 25 ml 2-necked flask, fitted with a thermometer immersed in the reation mixture and a reflux condenser having a CaCl.sub.2 drying tube on top. The reaction was warmed slowly until an exothermic reaction occured. The temperature was maintained at less than 100.degree. C. by periodic immersion of the flask in ice water. The reaction was then maintained at 95.degree. C. for one hour to yield a dark green liquid. The reaction mixture was then hydrolyzed in a 150 ml beaker with the addition of a solution of 1.36 ml of concentrated HCl to 10.4 ml of distilled H.sub.2 O. The beaker was covered with a watch glass and heated on a hot water bath for 1.5 hours to yield a green-yellow solution. 10:1 cold water was added to the hydrolyzed mixture to form a brilliant purple solution which was filtered. The filtered product was dissolved in a minimum volume of ethanol, and twice the volume of cold H.sub.2 O was added. The ketone was then extracted in an equal volume of chloroform which was removed by distillation to dryness under reduced pressure. Brilliant purple solid product. Ketone confirmed by IR and NMR.
Step D: Preparation of 1- (4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)-1-(4-N-ethyl-N-2-chloroethylphenyl) ethylene ##STR214##
One ml of a 3 molar etherial solution of magnesium bromide was evaporated almost to dryness under reduced pressure in a 50 ml three necked flask equipped with a thermometer and nitrogen sparger. The grey moist solution was suspended in 1.3 ml of dry benzene. The flask was then equipped for refluxing by the addition of a condenser fitted with a CaCl.sub.2 drying tube and an addition funnel. 0.017 moles of the ketone dissolved in 4.4 ml of boiling benzene was then placed in an addition funnel and added dropwise to the warmed methyl magnesium bromide-benzene slurry over a half hour period. The resulting solution was refluxed for one hour. The completion of the reaction was evident by the color change of the solution from brilliant purple to blue. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and 0.785 ml of saturated NH.sub.4 Cl was cautiously added. Additional NH.sub.4 Cl was added until two layers were apparent with the blue alcohol product in the bottom H.sub.2 O layer. 1.7.times.10.sup.-3 g of p-toluenesulphonic acid was added, and the solution was boiled on a water bath with the addition of benzene until the evaporation of H.sub.2 O was complete and only the benzene layer remained. The acid contained in the reaction mixture was then removed by the addition of 0.73.times.10.sup.-3 g of sodium bicarbonate. The solvent was reduced to dryness under reduced pressure to yield light blue crystals.

C. The resulting mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 8 days, after which time it was treated with 0.22 ml of ether and kept an additional day at room temperature. The condensation product was washed with acetic acid, ethanol, and ether. The pale blue-green crystals were dissolved in a minimum volume of warm dry ethanol. The solution was centrifuged to pellet a white precipitate. The dark blue supernatant solution was removed and distilled to dryness under reduced pressure. The blue crystals where placed on watch glass and placed in the dark. The structure of the condensation compound was confirmed by IR and NMR.
Step F: Preparation of 1,5-di-(p-N-2-(N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisolminol)-N-ethylaminophenyl)-1,5-bis-(p-N,N-dimethylaniline)-1,3-pentadiene. ##STR216##
5 mg (1.8.times.10.sup.-5 moles) of N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol was suspended in 0.1 ml of pyridine in a small test tube. 30 mg (3.6.times.10.sup.-5 moles) of the pentadiene was dissolved in 0.5 ml of pyridine and 0.25 ml of DMSO. This latter solution was added dropwise to the former while vigorously stirring at room temperature initially then with intermittant imersion in a water bath at 35.degree. C. The isoluminol which was only slightly soluble in pyridine went into solution as the reaction progressed. The reaction mixture was stirred and intermittantly immersed in the water bath at 35.degree. C. until the reaction was complete. This reaction and all subsequent reactions were protected from direct light.
Step G: Preparation of Luminide, MTL 7-3 (2,6-di-(p-N-2-(N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol)-N-ethylaminophenyl)-2,6-bis-(p-N,N-dimethylanilino)-3,5-hexadinenitrile). ##STR217##

The solution was acidified by addition of sulphuric acid and the evolving HCN gas was removed by evaporating the solvent to dryness under reduced pressure. The pale green crystals were redissolved in DMSO to yield a pale green liquid. IR and NMR confirmed the structure.
Step H: Preparation of Luminide MTL J-1 (5-Phosphonoformate-1,5-di-(p-N-2-(N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol)-N-ethylaminophenyl)-1,5-bis-(p-N,N-dimethylaniline )-1,3-pentadiene) ##STR218##

In addition, luminides which provide controlled extracellular release of biologically active substances such as drugs and proteins including enzymes and hormones are herein disclosed as macromolecular luminides. Luminides, each comprising a C functionality of a drug or protein such as insulin, erythropoietin, interleuken 2, interferon, growth hormone, atrial natriuretic factor, tissue plasminogen activator, an anti-inflammatory drug, an antihypertensive drug, an inotropic drug, a contraceptive drug, etc., are attached to a polymeric material to which an enzyme is immobilized to form a macromolecular luminide. The enzyme molecules react with molecules in the ambient extracellular environment at a rate in proportion to their concentration to produce peroxide or free radicals which react with the A functionality molecules causing them to achieve a high energy electronic state which is followed by the release of the C molecules where the release of C is in proportion to the ambient concentration of the substrate of the enzyme.
For example, a macromolecular luminide which provides a release of insulin in proportion to the ambient glucose concentration comprises luminide molecules, each comprising a C functionality of insulin, covalently bound to a biocompatible polymer to which the enzyme glucose oxidase is immobilized. The immobilized enzyme reacts with glucose at a rate proportional to the ambient glucose concentration to produce peroxide which reacts with the A functionality molecules of the attached luminide molecules to effect release of insulin. Because the insulin release is in proportion to the glucose concentration this macromolecular agent represents a very effective diabetic therapy.
As an additional example, cardiac ischemia results in the production and release of degradation products of purines such as xanthine. The enzyme xanthine oxidase oxidizes xanthine and directly reduces oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) is an effective agent for the treatment of myocardial infarction because this agent effects the lysis of fibrin clots in coronary arteries to establish reperfusion. Cardiac recovery is enhanced by diminishing the delay between the occlusion event and the administration of TPA. Thus, a macromolecular luminide comprising luminide molecules, each comprising a C functionality of TPA, bound to a biocompatible polymer to which xanthine oxidase is immobilized is an agent which releases TPA in proportion to the products of cardiac ischemia. Thus, it is a highly effective agent to resolve myocardial infarctions.
In another embodiment, luminide molecules, each comprising an A functionality which achieves a high energy electronic state via a reduction reaction, are attached to a conducting polymer to which an enzyme is immobilized. The immobilized enzyme oxidizes molecules in the ambient environment and transfers electrons to the conducting polymer which reduces the A functionality molecules directly or indirectly via the optional D functionality molecules to effect release of the C molecules.
In the latter embodiment, the conducting polymer derivatized with an enzyme, can be replaced with an electrocatalytic polymer which is reduced directly by molecules in the ambient environment and transfers the electrons to the luminide molecules to effect release of the C molecules. For example, polyvinylferrocene and poly-[N-(9,10-anthroquinone)-ethylenimine are conductive polymers and electrocatalytically oxidize glucose. Thus, a macromolecular luminide for the treatment of diabetes comprises a conducting polymer such as polyvinylferrocene to which glucose oxidase is optionally bound and to which luminide molecules are bound where the A functionality molecules of the polymer attached luminides achieve a high energy electronic state via a reduction reaction. The polymer is reduced when glucose oxidase accepts electrons from glucose and transfers them to the polymer. Or, the electrocatalytic polymer is reduced directly by glucose. The reduced polymer reduces the A functionality molecules directly or indirectly via the optional D functionality molecules to effect release of insulin molecules in proportion to the ambient glucose concentration.
Furthermore, macromolecular luminides can be directed to a specific extracellular target site such as an anatomical or biological compartment or organ by further attaching monoclonal antibody molecules to the polymer of the macromolecular luminide which bind to a molecule at the desired target site.
In addition to pharmaceutical agents, luminides also comprise pesticides including herbicides, fungicides, miticides, nematocides, fumigants, growth regulators, repellants, defoliants, rodenticides, molluscicides, algicides, desicants, antehelmintics, and bactericides. These luminides can be obtained by one skilled in the art by combining the functionalities, A, B, and optionally, D, of energy donor, energy acceptor, and electron transfer functionality, respectively, with a C moiety which possesses pesticidal activity. C moieties include those that appear in Chemical Week Pesticides Register, Robert P. Ovellette and John A. King, 1977, McGraw-Hill Book Company (incorporated by reference) and analogues of these agents. Enhanced pesticidal effectiveness is acheived via improved delivery of these agents to their target receptors by way of luminide molecules which possess desirable properties such as increased permeance to the cells of the organism relative the free C moieties.
EXPERIMENTAL 2
Release Reaction
MTL 7-3 was tested for release of the nitrile group as free cyanide during the reaction of the isoluminol group with hydrogen peroxide as follows:
1.2.times.10.sup.-5 moles of 1, 5-di-(p-N-2-(N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol)-N-ethylaminophenyl)-1,5-bis-(p,N,N-dimethylaniline)-1,3-pentadiene was reacted with an excess of cyanide in a 4/4/1 DMSO/pyridine/H.sub.2 O solvent. The solution was acidified to pH one and distilled under vacuum until gas no longer evolved. The product was split into six equal aliquots of approximately one milliliter volume. A volume of 0.1 ml of 1M NaOH was added to all aliquots. A volume of 0.05 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide was added to 3 of the aliquots. After five minutes cyanide was assayed following the proceedure of Gunther and Blinn.
This proceedure involves the addition of acid to the sample which is heated to distill hydrocyanic acid which is captured in a basic solution to which a colorimetric reagent is added to develop a color which is compared to a standard curve. The results are as follows:

The solution was acidified to ph one and was distilled for 90 minutes under reduced pressure. The volume of the solution was made 4 milliliters by addition of H.sub.2 O. The solution was made basic by addition of 1M NaOH and was split into two equal volume aliquots. 0.05 milliliters of 3% H.sub.2 O.sub.2 was added to one aliquot.

The results indicate that cyanide was released as a result of a reaction of hydrogen peroxide with the luminide compound. The release of lesser amounts of cyanide during the control experiment is consistent with the thermochromic properties of the luminide compound at elevated temperatures as the samples were heated during the cyanide determination proceedure.

Efficacy of Treatment of C3H Mice Infected with Raucher Spleen Focus Forming Virus with Luminide MTL J-1
The effectiveness of MTL J-1 was tested in C3H mice against the virus RSFFV (Raucher Spleen Focus Forming Virus) which is a retrovirus and is a valid animal model for HIV infection by application to the above identified mice according to the following procedure:
Three groups of two month old C3H mice, each comprising four animals were provided as one control and two test groups; wherein, the three groups (I-III) were subjected to an infectious dose of RSFFV on day one. The first group (I) served as control and received no treatment. Group II and III were treated with 10 uM total body weight concentration of the drug Foscarnet and the test compound MTL J-1, respectively which was administered each day for days 5 through 9. The animals were sacrificed on day 14, where upon the spleens where removed and weighed. The results are summarized in the following table:

The tests were redone with a second control group (IA) having no infection of RSFFV and receiving no treatment with any drug, wherein groups I and IA comprise four mice each, and groups II and III comprise five mice each, providing the results summarized below:

APPENDIX I
Triphenyl Methanes
Triphenyl methane dyes have been known and used for many years. Consequently many general-type syntheses have been worked out and published. The following four synthesis methods have been used almost exclusively for the 15 triphenyl methane dyes synthesized.
Method A. Michler's Ketone Method
To equal molar quantities of a p-amino benzophenone or di-(p-amino) benzophenone (Michler's type ketones) and aromatic amines, such as anilines and naphthyl amines, sufficient toluene-phosphorous oxychloride solution is added (3-5) to dissolve the reactants at 50.degree. C. The temperature is raised to 80.degree. C. and the solution is stirred for approximately 45 minutes or until the mass becomes very viscous. The sample is cooled and 10 ml of water added for each ml of phosphorous oxychloride used, and heated to boiling. The solution is cooled and treated with 6N sodium hydroxide solution until the pH is 8 or more. The sample is steam-distilled to removed the last trace of any toluene or steam volatile unreacted amine. It is cooled and the aqueous phase poured off. The organic phase is dissolved in hot methanol-acetic acid (1:1) solution. The sodium salt of the anion for the dye form desired is then added. The sample is cooled and ether added slowly, while stirring to effect crystallization of dye.
This method varies slightly from the known published methods, but has been found to have several advantages for laboratory preparation of dyes of the types: ##STR236## where any one of the phenyl groups may be replaced by a naphthyl group.
Method B. Michler's Hydrol Method
Part 1.
Triphenylmethane type compounds may be produced by the condensation of a diphenyl substituted secondary alcohol and an aromatic ring. The secondary alcohol is of a type called Michler's hydrol of the general type formula: ##STR237## which is produced by the controlled reduction of the corresponding ketone with sodium amalgam in alcohol as a solvent. The hydrol is separated from an alcohol-water mixture, dried, and stored in a vacuum dessicator.
The hydrol is then condensed with the desired substituted benzene ring of the general-type formula: ##STR238## in concentrated sulfuric acid and at a temperature below 60.degree. C. for several hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with water and the acid neutralized until the condensation product is precipitated out. The product has the general-type formula: ##STR239##
Part 2.
The condensation product is then oxidized with lead peroxide in an acidic-aqueous media to the general-type formula: ##STR240##
Any excess lead peroxide is neutralized with sodium carbonate. The lead is precipitated with sodium sulfate and filtered off. The acid is neutralized to a pH of 7 and the dye salted out as the chloride or as the zinc chloride double salt.
This method was found to be useful in preparing triphenyl methane dyes where one of the phenyl groups is to have substituents other than an amino group.
APPENDIX II
Method C. Aniline--Benzaldehyde Method
Under reflux, a two-mole quantity of an aniline and one mole of a benzaldehyde is heated with zinc chloride as a catalyst to produce the true leuco form of the desired dye.
A stoichiometric quantity of lead dioxide paste and hydrochloric acid is added to a weighed quantity of the leuco dye. This is stirred for 30 minutes and then filtered. Sodium sulfate is added to precipitate any soluble lead salts, which is then filtered and the filtrate neutralized. A neutral salt is added to salt out the dye. (The salt chosen for salting out will depend on the anion form of the dye desired.)
Method D. Alkyl Halide Method
Dyes of the type ##STR241## may be reacted with alkyl iodides in an alkaline methanol solution to replace the hydrogen on each amino group with the alkyl group of the alkyl iodide to yield dyes of the type: of the 15 triphenyl methan dyes synthesized, 6 were found to be phototropic and were previously tabulated under 3.2.6.1. For the other nine dyes, no phototropic systems have yet been developed.
Polymethines
Polymethines (refs. 13, 18, 19) may be classified generally by the degree of symmetry around the conjugated carbon chain. If we represent the polymethines by the general formula: ##STR242## we may further classify the dyes on the basis of the identify of the various R groups. It is prerequisite to this family that at least two of the R groups be capable of extending the conjugation of the chain by accepting a positive charge, ##STR243## being such a group.
Where R.sub.1 and R.sub.4 meet the prerequisite of the family and either R.sub.2 or R.sub.3 or both are hydrogen, the dyes may be prepared by methods I and II of the four general methods given in the succeeding pages.
Where R.sub.4 is hydrogen and R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are other than hydrogen and at least two of them meet the prerequisite of the family, the dyes may be prepared by methods I or IV.
Where none of the R's are hydrogens, the dyes may be prepared by methods II or IIl: the choice of method will depend on the value of n and the degree of symmetry desired. When the value of n is to exceed 1, method III cannot be used. Method III has the advantage of giving any choice of symmetry from totally unsymmetrical to totally symmetrical, but the value of n is limited to 1.
Method I
Reaction of a p-Aminophenyl Alkene and a p-Aminophyenl Alkene Aldehyde
Equimolar quantities of a p-aminophenyl alkene of the class ##STR244## (where R can equal H, aryl, alkyl, or arylamine groups) and p-aminophenyl alkene aldehyde of the class ##STR245## (where n=0,1) are allowed to react in a nonaqueous solvent with an acid catalyst such as acetic acid, or acetic anhydride, and the acid of the desired dye form. The reaction mixture is allowed to stand for 5 days at room temperature. This is poured into water and neutralized until the dye precipitates. The precipitate is filtered off, dried, and recrystallized from anhydrous alcohol. This will produce a dye of the general-type formula as depicted below: ##STR246##
Method II
Reaction of p-Aminophenyl Alkene and an Orthoester
Method IIa
(for compounds having 5 or more methine carbon atoms)
Two molar proportions of a p-aminophenyl alkene of the class ##STR247## (where R.sub.o can equal H, aryl, alkyl, or arylamine group) with one mold of an orthoester of the class ##STR248## (where m=0, 1, 2, or 3) are allowed to react in a nonaqueous solvent, containing an acid catalyst such as acetic anhydride and the acid to form the desired carbonium compound. The reaction mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature for several hours. Ether is added to precipitate the dye. The precipitate is filtered and washed with ether or an ether-polar solvent mixture. The precipitate is dried in vacuum. This will produce a compound of the general-type formula as pictured below: ##STR249## (where n=0, 1, 2, 3, or 4).
Method IIb
By substituting tetramethyl ortho carbonate for the orthoester of method IIa and by increasing the p-aminophenyl alkene to a molar proportion of three, a new type of compound was prepared, having the general structure: ##STR250## A nitrogen determination on ##STR251## using a Coleman nitrogen analyzer found 8.58 percent nitrogen (theoretical 8.61).
Method III
Reaction of a Ketone and a 1-(p-Aminophenyl)-1-(R) Alkene
A ketone of the general-type formula ##STR252## is refluxed with a substituted alkene, of the general-type formula ##STR253## where R is something other than hydrogen with phosphorous oxychloride as the solvent catalyst. At the end of the reflux, the reaction mixture is cooled and poured into water and treated with a salt of the acid to yield the desired anion form of the dye. The aqueous mixture is neutralized with solid sodium acetate until the dye precipitates.
This method yields a dye of the general-type formula ##STR254## where R.sub.a and R.sub.b may be equal or different.
Method IV
Reaction of a Ketone and a p-Aminophenyl Alkene
A ketone of the general-type formula ##STR255## is refluxed for 5 hours with a substituted alkene of the general-type formula ##STR256## with phosphorous oxychloride as a solvent catalyst. At the end of the 5-hour reflux time, the reaction mixture is cooled and poured into water and treated with a salt of the acid to yield the desired anion form of the dye. The aqueous mixture is neutralized with solid sodium acetate until dye precipitates.
This method yields a dye of the general-type formula: ##STR257## where R.sub.a and R.sub.b may be equal or different.
ORGANIC SYNTHESIS PROCEDURES
Method No. 1: Polymethine Dyes
Example
Preparation of Dye PP 2109
Step A: Preparation of p-Fluorobenzanilide ##STR258##
A solution of aniline, 23.7 g (0.255 mole) in 250 ml of dry ether containing 55.3 g of potassium carbonate was heated to reflux temperature. To the refluxing mixture, 50 g (0.32 mole) of p-fluorobenzoyl chloride was added over a period of one hour. The reaction mixture was refluxed for four hours and the ether distilled off. Cold water was added to the residue and the p-fluorobenzanilide collected by filtration. Yield: 64 g, metling point 196.degree. C., white crystalline powder.
Step B: Preparation of p-N,N-Di-n-propylamin-p-fluorobenzophenone ##STR259## 64 g (0.3 mole) of dry, powdered p-fluorobenzanilide, 100 g (0.6 mole) of N,N-di-n-propylaniline, and 55 ml of phosphorous oxychloride were mixed in a 500 ml three-necked flask fitted with a stopper, a thermometer and a reflux condenser having a CaCl.sub.2 drying tube on top. The reaction mixture was warmed gently until the temperature reached 100.degree.-112.degree. C., at which point an exothermic reaction occurred and the temperature rose to 160.degree. C. As soon as the exothermic reaction was noted, the mixture was immediately cooled by swirling the flask in ice water. The cooling was continued until the temperature dropped to 100.degree.-105.degree. C. This temperature range was held for three hours. The reaction mixture was then hydrolyzed in a three liter beaker by the addition of 58 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid in 445 ml water. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand for eight to twelve hours to complete the hydrolysis. An additional 4100 ml of water was then added to precipitate the ketone formed. This was filtered, washed thoroughly with cold water, reslurried and refiltered. Yield: 45 g, light green sandy crystals, melting point 85.degree.-87.degree. C.
Step C: Preparation of 1-(4-N,N-Di-n-propylamino-phenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl) ethylene ##STR260##
Sixty ml of a 3 molar etherial solution of methyl magnesium bromide was evaporated almost to dryness under reduced pressure in a 500 ml three-necked flask equipped with thermometer and nitrogen sparger. The grey moist residue was suspended in 75 ml of dry benzene. The flask was then equipped for refluxing by the addition of a condenser fitted with a CaCl.sub.2 drying tube and an addition funnel. A 0.1 mole portion of the ketone dissolved in 250 ml of boiling benzene was then placed in the addition funnel and added dropwise to the warmed methyl magnesium bromide-benzene slurry over a half-hour period. The resulting reddish solution was refluxed for three hours. The termination of the reaction was indicated by the fading of the initial reddish color to a pale yellow. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and cautiously treated with 45 ml of saturated ammonium chloride solution. This mixture was filtered and the filtrate boiled with 0.1 g of p-toluenesulphonic acid until the evolution of water was completed. The acid contained in the reaction mixture was then removed by the addition of 0.5 g of sodium bicarbonate. The volume was reduced to one half by evaporation under reduced pressure. Five hundred ml of dry ethanol was added to the remaining solution, which was then allowed to cool with the subsequent precipitation of the ethylene compound. The precipitate was filtered, washed with 50 ml ice cold ethanol, and the crystals dried in a vacuum oven. Yield: 86 percent of theory: melting point 101.degree.-102.degree. C.
Step D: Preparation of a perchlorate of 1,5-di-(p-fluorophenyl)-1,5-bis-(p-N,N-di-n-propylanilino)-1,3-pentadiene ##STR261##
A mixture of 23.6 g (0.08 mole) of 1(4-N,N-di-n-propylaminophenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylene, 12 ml of ethyl orthoformate and 50 ml of acetic anhydride was treated with an ice-cold solution of 4 ml of 72 percent perchloric acid dissolved in 50 ml of acetic anhydride. The resulting dark red solution was heated in a water bath at 85.degree. C. for one hour, after which another 12 ml of ethyl orthoformate was added. The mixture was than allowed to stand at room temperature for 18 hours to precipitate the condensation product. The precipitate was collected and washed with acetic acid, ethanol and ether. Yield: 68 percent based on perchloric acid, golden brown crystals melting with decomposition at 277.degree. C.
Method No. 2: Polymethine dyes
Example
Preparation of Dye PP 2110
Step A: Preparation of 3-Amino-4-methoxy-4'-N,N-Di-methylaminobenzophenone ##STR262##
Fifty grams (0.2 mole) of 3-amino-4-methoxybenzanilide, 70 g (0.58 mole) N,N-dimethylaniline and 36 g POCl.sub.3 were heated on a water bath at 90.degree. C. to 95.degree. C. for 4 to 6 hours. The product was then cautiously poured into a solution of 23 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid in 250 ml water. The resulting solution was warmed at 80.degree. C. until the initial reddish color disappeared, indicating that the aniline was completely hydrolyzed. A liter of water was added to precipitate the ketone, which was filtered, washed with cold water, and recrystallized from a 2:1 aqueous alcohol solution. Yield: 38 g of slightly yellowish crystals, metling point 82.degree. C.
Step B: Preparation of 1(4-N,N-Dimethylaminophenyl)-1-(3-amino-4-methoxyphenyl)ethylene ##STR263##
Fifty ml of a 3M ethereal solution of methyl magnesium bromide was evaporated almost to dryness under reduced pressure. Dry nitrogen was admitted to the reaction flask and the gray residue was suspended in 75 ml of dry benzene. The slurry was warmed, then 26.6 g (0.1 mole) of the ketone compound dissolved in 250 ml boiling benzene was added over a 15-minute period. The resulting solution was refluxed until the pale yellow color faded to colorless (45 minutes). The mixture was cooled and treated with 50 ml of a saturated NH.sub.4 Cl solution. The colorless solution was filtered through a folded filter paper without applying vacuum and in the absence of strong light. The filtrate was boiled with 0.1 g p-teluenesulfonic acid until the evolution of water was complete. The cooled solution was neutralized by the addition of 0.2 g dry NaHCO.sub.3 and then reduced to 1/4 volume by evaporating the solvent under reduced pressure. The remaining solution was diluted with 250 ml of dry ethanol and the ethylene product allowed to precipitate over 12 hours. Yield: 34 percent of theory, yellow hygroscopic flakes, melting point 118.degree. C.
Step C: Condensation Reaction Leading to Dye (A perchlorate of 1,5-di-(3-amino-4-methoxyphenyl)-1,5-bis-(p-N,N-dimethylaniline)-1,3-pentadiene.
A mixture of 26.9 g (0.1 mole) of 1(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)-1-(3-amino-4-methoxyphenyl)ethylene, 15 ml of ethyl orthoformate and 45 ml acetic anhydride was treated with a solution of 4 ml of 72 percent perchloric acid and 40 ml acetic acid previously cooled to 0.degree. C. The resulting mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 5 days, after which it was treated with 25 ml of ether and kept an additional day at room temperature. The precipitate formed was filtered and washed with acetic acid, ethanol, and ether, and dried in a vacuum dessicator.
Product: sandy crystals, dark brown, melting point 209.degree.-210.degree. C.
Note: The reaction should be run at room temperature. Condensation at elevated temperatures yields a black, insoluble polymerization product. ##STR264##
APPENDIX III
Azo Polymethines
Dyes of the general structural type ##STR265## are prepared by condensation of p-aminophenyl alkene aldehydes or ketones with auramine-type hydrochlorides. One such dye was prepared: ##STR266## 1,1,5-tris-4(N,N-dimenthyamino)phenyl-2-azo, pentene carbonium chloride which showed only very slight yellow phototropy.
APPENDIX IV
Diazo Polymethines
A new type of dye, believed to have the general structures, ##STR267## was prepared by nitrosation of auramine-type structures ##STR268## with nitrous acid to yield ##STR269##
This is then reacted with p-aminophenyl alkenes to yield structures of Type A. Confirmation of structure is incomplete, but significant to this work is that the above series of reactons yield phototropic materials.
The position of the --N--N-- group in the carbon chain may be changed to occupy the 1 and 2 positions, as well as the above shown 2 and 3 positions, by using a secondary amine in place of B in the above series of reactions. With nitrogen atoms in the 1 and 2 positions, the 1 position nitrogen becomes a quaternary ammonium atom in one of the resonance states of the molecule.
One dye of each of these types was prepared. Both were found to phototropic. They are: ##STR270## 1,1,5,5-tetrakis-[4-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl]-2,3-diazo pentene carbonium (Code PP2031) ##STR271## 1,1-bux-[4-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl-3,4-bis-(phenyl)]-3,4-diazo butene carbonium (Code PP 2030)
APPENDIX V
Quaternary Ammonium Salt Polymethines
Three dyes of the type ##STR272## were prepared and tested for phototropy. ##STR273## N-(p-dimethylamino cinnamylidine)-N,N-diphenyl ammonium proved to be phototropic but broke down rapidly under ultraviolet light ##STR274## N-(p-dimethylamino cinnamylidine)-N,N-diethanol ammonium, and ##STR275## N-(p-dimethyl amino cinnamylidine) N,N-di-4(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl ammonium were not phototropic.
The dyes where prepared by the condensation of dimethylamino cinnamic aldehyde with the hydrochloride of secondary amines in warm, anhydrous alcohol according to the method of Brooker.
APPENDIX VI
Intermediates
Although most types of dye intermediates are available, specific compounds necessary to this work were not available on the commercial market. It was necessary to synthesize 13 such intermediates.
The syntehsis or type synthesis of these intermediates are for the most part given in standard works on synthesis dyes and dye intermediates.
The synthesis of tetramethyl orthocarbonate and ethylenes of the type are reported herein.
Synthesis of Tetramethyl Ortho Carbonates
To 500 grams of cold dry methanol under reflux, 80 grams of metallic sodium in large pieces are added. (The alcohol solution has to be cooled externally with ice water to prevent loss of methanol through the reflux condenser.) Before all of the sodium has dissolved, 100 grams of chloropicrin that has been diluted with 200 ml of methanol is slowly dropped in. The solution is refluxed for one hour. The methanol is distilled off until the residue seems almost dry. This is then dissolved in 600 cc of water, and the aqueous solution is extracted with three 200-ml portions of ether. The composited ether extracts are dried over calcium chloride. The ether is fractionated from the dried solution and a little sodium methoxide in methanol is added to the residue to react with any unreached chloropicrin. This is allowewd to stand overnight. The solution is fractionated, collecting one fraction between 110.degree.-115.degree. C.
Synthesis of ##STR276##
Methyl magnesium bromide in ethyl ether is placed into a round bottom flask equipped with a condenser and an addition funnel. The ether is distilled off, and the methyl magnesium bromide then taken up with anhydrous benzene. A ketone is dissolved in anhydrous benzene and added dropwise to the Grignard reagent with continuous heating. After the addition is completed, the mixture is refluxed for three more hours. After cooling, sufficient ammonium chloride solution (saturated aqueous solution) is very carefully added in order to dissolve any free magnesium. The Grignard complex is decomposed with hydrochloric acid. After decomposition of the complex is complete, the solution is allowed to come to room temperature. After making sure the solution is alkaline to phenolphthalein, the benzene solution is decanted off of the solids. The solids are washed with two 50-ml positions of ether and the washings combined with the benzene solution. The ether-benzene solution is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate.
The ether and benzene are then distilled off leaving a residue. This residue is vacuum-distilled at 2-5 mm of Hg.
APPENDIX VII
Method No. 3: Indoline base dyes
Example
Preparation of Dye PP 1210
Step A: Synthesis of p-[N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-ethyl]aminobenzaldehyde ##STR277##
At 50.degree. C. 82.5 parts by weight of N-(2-hydroxyehtyl)-N-ethylaniline were added dropwise to 90 parts by weight of phosphorous oxychloride. The solution was then heated at 90.degree. C. for 6 hours. After colling to 0.degree. C., a mixture of 150 parts by weight of N-methylformanilide, 170 parts by weight of phosphorus oxychloride, and 120 parts by weight of benzene was added to the above solution. The mixture was heated for a few hours at 30.degree.-35.degree. C. After neutralization with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, the benzene solution of the aldehyde product was separated. After evaporating the benzene, p-N-chloroethyl-N-ethylamino benzaldhyde remained as a slightly yellow oil which hardened on standing and could be recrystallized from ethanol. The recrystallized aldehyde had a white flaky appearance and a melting point of 283.degree. C.
Step B: Synthesis of dye PP 2120, Chloride of 2,3,3-trimethyl-2-[p-(N-2-chloroethyl-N-ethyl)amino-.beta.-styryl]indoline ##STR278##
p-(N-Chloroethyl-N-ethyl)amino benzaldehyde (12.5 parts by weight) was refluxed for 6 hours at 100.degree. C. with 8.5 parts by weight of 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methylene-indoline in 60 parts by weight of glacial acetic acid. The mixture was then poured into water and the condensation product was salted out with sodium chloride. The crude dyestuff was obtained as a dark bronze resinous liquid which hardened upon standing and could be crushed into shiny bronze particles. The pure dye was obtained by recrystallization from hot water, m.p. 167.degree.-168.degree. C.
APPENDIX VIII
Method No. 4: Dyes with More Than One Chromophore
Example
Preparation of Dye PP 2131
Step A: Synthesis of phenetolazobenzaldehydsulphonic acid
One hundred grams of Chrysophenin G concentrate, which was equivalent to about 92 grams of the pure compound, was dissolved in 6 liters of boiling water. The solution was cooled to 0.degree.-5.degree. C. by the addition of ice and then saturated with sodium chloride. ##STR279## A 3 percent solution of potassium permanganate was slowly added with vigorous agitation until a pale pink color persisted. (The quantity of permanganate required was 29 grams.) The precipitate which formed during the reaction was allowed to settle and was collected by siphoning off the supernatant liquor. The product was isolated by boiling the precipitate two or three times with one liter of water, filtering off the manganese dioxide and adding potassium chloride to the hot water solution until precipitation was complete. An additional small quantity of aldehyde was isolated by salting it out of the supernanant liquor with potassium chloride. The product precipitated from water in orange-colored microscopic needles.
Step B: Synthesis of Dye PP 2131, perchlorate of 1,1-bis-(p-N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl-3-[2-sulfonato-4-(p-ethoxyphenylazo0]phenyl propene.
Phenetoleazobenzaldehyde sulphonic acid (1.86 parts by weight) was refluxed for 6 hours at 100.degree. C. with 1.33 parts by weight of 1,1-bis-(4-N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl ethylene is 25 parts by weight of glacial acetic acid. The condensation product was then poured into water and salted out. The dyestuff was obtained as a thick dark green liquid which hardened upon standing to a crushable solid, melting point 78.degree.-92.degree. C. An attempt to recrystallize the dye using a variety of solvents was unsuccessful.
APPENDIX IX
Example 1
Xylene Blue VS Cyanide
To a solution of 25 g. of commercial Xylene Blue VS, Colour Index No. 672, in 150 ml. of water is added 4.5 g. of 95% sodium cyanide and the mixture is heated in a pressure bottle for 1 hour. Suitable precautions should be taken to avoid cuts by glass wet with sodium cyanide solution in the event of the explosion of the bottle. The solution is then cooled, allowed to stand for 1 day at 25.degree. C. and filtered from the precipitated Xylene Blue VS cyanide disodium salt having the formula ##STR280##
The disodium salt is readily soluble in water to yield a colorless solution that slowly becomes blue on exposure to radiation of wave length 2537 A. The color change is much slower than with a solution of a representative basic dye cyanide, such as malachite green syanide in alcohol, and thus is useful in the actinometry of more intense radiation.
The free acid form of Xylene Blue VS cyanide, having the formula ##STR281## may be prepared by treatment of a solution of 11 g. of the disodium salt in 100 ml. of water with 11.2 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. After the mixture has stood at room temperature for 2 days, the colorless precipitated from acid is collected on a filter, washed with water, and air dried. It is sparingly soluble in water. A dilute, colorless, aqueous solution of the free acid color blue on ultra-violet irradiation at a speed intermediate between that of the solutions of the sodium salt and of alcoholic solutions of malachite green cyanide.
The barium salt of Xylene Blue VS cyanide having the formula ##STR282## may be prepared by neutralization of a hot 1/2 of 1% aqueous solution of the free acid to pH 3.4 with N/10 barium hydroxide solution. The neutralized solution is cooled to room temperature, allowed to stand for 3 days, and filtered from the colorless, crystalline barium salt. The barium salt is less soluble in water than the free acid, but quite sufficiently soluble to give photosensitive solutions that behave on exposure to ultra-violet like solutions of the sodium salt.
