CAS 17833-43-1: 4-Methylumbelliferyl α-D-glucopyranoside
Description:4-Methylumbelliferyl α-D-glucopyranoside (MUG) is a synthetic compound commonly used as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly for the detection of α-glucosidase activity. It is characterized by its fluorescent properties, which are activated upon hydrolysis by the enzyme, resulting in the release of 4-methylumbelliferone, a fluorescent product. MUG is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it suitable for various laboratory applications. The compound is often utilized in microbiology and enzymology to assess enzyme activity in different biological samples. Its structure includes a glucopyranoside moiety linked to a methylumbelliferyl group, which contributes to its enzymatic specificity and fluorescence. MUG is generally considered safe to handle in laboratory settings, but standard safety precautions should be observed. As with many chemical substances, proper storage and handling are essential to maintain its stability and effectiveness in experimental applications.
