1-Naphthalenyl β-D-galactopyranoside

Description:

1-Naphthalenyl β-D-galactopyranoside is a glycoside compound characterized by the presence of a naphthalene moiety linked to a β-D-galactopyranoside unit. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and methanol, while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. It is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving enzyme activity, as it can serve as a substrate for β-galactosidase, facilitating the investigation of glycosidic bond hydrolysis. The naphthalene group contributes to its fluorescence properties, making it useful in various analytical applications. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activities, including potential antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory effects, although specific biological properties can vary based on the context of use. As with many glycosides, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may have specific safety and toxicity considerations.

1-Naphthyl β-D-galactopyranoside

CAS: 41335-32-4

1-Naphthyl b-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the presence of beta-galactosidase enzymes. The enzyme cleaves the substrate to produce a colored product that can be quantified and visualized. This substrate is commonly used in applications such as the detection of lacZ gene expression in bacterial colonies or in histochemical staining of tissues to identify beta-galactosidase activity.
