CAS 10231-84-2: p-Nitrophenyl α-L-fucoside
Description:p-Nitrophenyl α-L-fucoside is a synthetic glycoside commonly used as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly for the detection of fucosidase enzymes. This compound features a p-nitrophenyl group linked to an α-L-fucoside moiety, which is derived from fucose, a hexose sugar. The presence of the p-nitrophenyl group allows for colorimetric detection; upon enzymatic hydrolysis by fucosidases, the release of p-nitrophenol results in a measurable color change, facilitating quantitative analysis. p-Nitrophenyl α-L-fucoside is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline powder, soluble in water and organic solvents like methanol and ethanol. Its stability is generally good under standard laboratory conditions, although it should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent degradation. This compound is widely utilized in research settings to study carbohydrate metabolism and enzyme kinetics, making it a valuable tool in glycoscience and enzymology.
