:5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolylb-D-glucuronide
Description:
5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-glucuronide, commonly referred to as X-Gluc, is a synthetic chemical compound primarily used as a substrate for the detection of β-glucuronidase activity in various biological assays. This compound is characterized by its indole structure, which is substituted with bromine and chlorine atoms, contributing to its unique reactivity and solubility properties. X-Gluc is often employed in histochemical staining techniques, particularly in plant and microbial studies, to visualize gene expression and enzyme activity. Upon hydrolysis by β-glucuronidase, it produces a colored product, facilitating easy identification and quantification. The compound is generally stable under standard laboratory conditions but should be handled with care due to its halogenated nature, which may pose environmental and health risks. Its applications extend to molecular biology, where it aids in the study of gene regulation and enzyme function, making it a valuable tool in both research and diagnostic settings.

CAS:<p>5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-glucuronide</p>Molecular weight:422.61g/mol5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-glucuronide
CAS:<p>5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-glucuronide (5BCIG) is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are enzymes that maintain the integrity of bacterial DNA. 5BCIG is detectable in tissues, and quantified in blood. It encodes a protein to the cell cytoplasm. The sensitivity of 5BCIG against clostridium perfringens was found to be 10 times higher than that of penicillin G or erythromycin. 5BCIG has optimal activity against clostridium perfringens when expressed functionally as a polypeptide.</p>Formula:C14H13BrClNO7Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:422.61 g/mol
