CAS 2747-05-9: 4-Methylumbelliferyl acetate
Description:4-Methylumbelliferyl acetate is a synthetic organic compound commonly used as a fluorogenic substrate in biochemical assays, particularly for the detection of enzymes such as esterases and lipases. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a methylumbelliferyl moiety linked to an acetate group. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents like methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide, but less soluble in water. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis, it releases 4-methylumbelliferone, a fluorescent product that emits blue light when excited, making it useful for quantitative analysis in various biological and chemical applications. The compound is stable under normal laboratory conditions but should be stored away from light to prevent degradation. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Overall, 4-Methylumbelliferyl acetate is a valuable tool in molecular biology and biochemistry for studying enzyme activity.
