Uses

Thioflavine S is a reagent also known as Direct Yellow 7; potentially useful as an amyloid plaque stain. Dyes and metabolites.

Definition

ChEBI: Thioflavine T is an organic chloride salt having 2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-3,6-dimethyl-1,3-benzothiazol-3-ium as the counterion. It is widely used to visualise and quantify the presence of amyloids, both in vitro and in vivo. It has a role as a fluorochrome, a histological dye and a geroprotector. It contains a thioflavin T cation.

Preparation

(a) primrose spirit alkali (C.I.Direct Yellow 59, C.I. 49000) methylation, then will be preparing sulphonated product (GP 1251738); (b) primrose spirit alkali stlfonation, then will product methylation (GP 53333).
