2',4'-dinitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-xylobioside

Description:

2',4'-Dinitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-xylobioside is a synthetic compound that belongs to the class of glycosides, specifically a modified sugar derivative. This compound features a dinitrophenyl group, which is known for its use in various biochemical applications, including as a labeling agent in immunoassays. The presence of the 2-deoxy-2-fluoro modification indicates that the sugar moiety has been altered to enhance its stability and potentially its biological activity. The xylobioside structure suggests that it is composed of two xylose units linked together, which may influence its interaction with enzymes and receptors. This compound is typically used in research settings, particularly in studies related to carbohydrate chemistry and glycosylation processes. Its unique structural characteristics may also make it a valuable tool in the development of glycosylation inhibitors or in the study of glycan-related biological functions. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential toxicity associated with the dinitrophenyl group.

2,4-Dinitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-b-xylobioside

CAS: 156271-23-7

2,4-Dinitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-xylobioside, also known as DNFPX, is a substrate to study the activity of glycosidases. It is a derivative of xylobiose, which is a disaccharide composed of two xylose units. The 2-deoxy-2-fluoro modification on one of the xylose units makes the compound resistant to further hydrolysis by the enzyme, allowing it to be used as a reporter of enzyme activity. The 2,4-Dinitrophenyl group is used as a chromogenic group that enables rapid detection and measurement of the enzyme activity that can be quantitatively measured by monitoring the appearance of the yellow 2,4-dinitrophenyl group when cleavage of the glycosidic bond.
