:O-nitrophenyl caprylate
Description:
O-nitrophenyl caprylate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, formed from the reaction of caprylic acid and o-nitrophenol. It typically appears as a yellowish to light brown solid or liquid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. This compound is known for its role as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly in studies involving lipases and esterases, due to its ability to release o-nitrophenol upon hydrolysis. O-nitrophenyl caprylate is relatively soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water, which is common for many esters. Its molecular structure includes a long hydrophobic caprylate chain, contributing to its lipophilicity, while the nitrophenyl group provides a chromogenic property, allowing for easy detection and quantification in various analytical applications. Safety data sheets indicate that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure. Overall, O-nitrophenyl caprylate serves as a valuable tool in both synthetic and analytical chemistry.

2-Nitrophenyl caprylate
CAS:2-Nitrophenyl caprylate is a potent inhibitor of gram-negative bacteria. It has been shown to inhibit the enzymatic activity of certain bacterial enzymes, such as the modification of cellular fatty acids. 2-Nitrophenyl caprylate has also been shown to inhibit in vitro growth of various gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, through detergent compositions and enzymatic reactions (e.g., aminopeptidases). 2-Nitrophenyl caprylate may be useful for the treatment of pancreatitis due to its inhibition of pancreatic secretions and inhibition of pancreatic lipase activity. Transposable sequences have been found in the 2-nitrophenyl caprylate gene cluster, which may be related to its regulatory properties.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:265.31 g/mol
