4-methyl umbelliferyl stearate

Description:
4-Methyl umbelliferyl stearate is an ester derived from the reaction of 4-methyl umbelliferone and stearic acid. This compound is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long stearate chain, which contributes to its solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. It is often utilized as a substrate in biochemical assays, particularly in the detection of lipase and other enzymes, due to its fluorescent properties when hydrolyzed. The 4-methyl umbelliferyl moiety provides a fluorescent signal upon enzymatic cleavage, making it valuable in various analytical applications. Additionally, this compound may exhibit low toxicity, but safety data should be consulted for handling and usage. Its stability under standard laboratory conditions allows for its use in various experimental setups. Overall, 4-methyl umbelliferyl stearate serves as an important tool in enzymology and biochemistry, facilitating the study of enzyme activity and kinetics.
