CAS 1226-39-7: 4-NITROPHENYL-BETA-D-FUCOPYRANOSIDE
Description:4-Nitrophenyl-β-D-fucopyranoside is a synthetic glycoside commonly used as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly for the detection of fucosidase enzymes. This compound features a fucopyranoside moiety, which is a sugar derived from fucose, linked to a 4-nitrophenyl group. The presence of the nitrophenyl group allows for colorimetric detection, as it can be hydrolyzed by fucosidases to release 4-nitrophenol, which exhibits a distinct yellow color in solution. This property makes it valuable in enzyme kinetics studies and for assessing enzyme activity in various biological samples. The compound is typically soluble in water and organic solvents, facilitating its use in diverse experimental conditions. Additionally, it is important to handle this substance with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory settings.
