4-Methylumbelliferyl butyrate

Description:
4-Methylumbelliferyl butyrate is a synthetic compound commonly used as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly for the detection of esterases and lipases. It is characterized by its fluorescent properties, which are activated upon hydrolysis, making it useful in various enzymatic studies. The compound features a butyrate moiety linked to a 4-methylumbelliferone structure, which contributes to its fluorescence. In aqueous solutions, it exhibits a specific excitation and emission spectrum, allowing for sensitive detection in laboratory settings. The compound is typically soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water, which is important for its application in enzymatic assays. Its stability and reactivity make it a valuable tool in research, particularly in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology, where it aids in the understanding of enzyme kinetics and mechanisms. Safety data should be consulted for handling and disposal, as with any chemical substance.
