4-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside

Description:

4-Nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside, commonly referred to as a glucoside, is a glycosidic compound characterized by its complex structure comprising multiple glucopyranosyl units linked through alpha-(1->4) glycosidic bonds. The presence of the 4-nitrophenyl group enhances its solubility in organic solvents and provides a chromogenic property, making it useful in various biochemical assays. This compound is typically white to off-white in appearance and is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. Its molecular structure allows it to participate in enzymatic reactions, particularly those involving glycosidases, which can hydrolyze the glycosidic bonds. As a substrate in enzymatic assays, it is often employed in studies related to carbohydrate metabolism and enzyme kinetics. The compound's stability and reactivity can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature, making it important to consider these conditions in experimental setups.
