:O-nitrophenyl palmitate
Description:
O-nitrophenyl palmitate is an organic compound that serves as a substrate for studying lipase activity due to its ester bond, which can be hydrolyzed by these enzymes. It is characterized by the presence of a palmitic acid moiety linked to an o-nitrophenyl group, giving it both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. Its molecular structure includes a long hydrocarbon chain from palmitic acid, contributing to its lipophilicity, and a nitrophenyl group that can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. O-nitrophenyl palmitate is often used in biochemical assays to measure lipase activity, as the hydrolysis of the ester bond releases o-nitrophenol, which can be quantified spectrophotometrically. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
