Fluorogenic Substrates

N-Acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine is a fluorescent probe, which is synthesized from chemical precursors and used primarily in biochemical research. This compound acts by undergoing a chemical reaction with hydrogen peroxide, resulting in the formation of resorufin, a highly fluorescent compound. The distinctive property of this probe is its capacity to produce a measurable fluorescent signal upon interaction with hydrogen peroxide, making it an invaluable tool for detecting and quantifying this reactive oxygen species.

Fluorescein-dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine triethylammonium salt is a fluorescent phospholipid derivative for phospholipase. This substrate consists of a fluorescein conjugated to DPPE (dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine), a key component of biological membranes. This compound is frequently used in membrane dynamics studies and lipid metabolism research. The fluorescein moiety allows visualization of lipid interactions in model membranes, liposomes, or live-cell imaging applications. The triethylammonium salt form enhances solubility and stability, property that facilitates its use in aqueous and lipid-based environments.

This Clips-O substrate 7-((4'-L-Alaninamido)-rac-3'-hydroxybutyloxy) coumarin allows the detection of single and dual enzymatic activity (L-alanine aminopetidase and oxidation of 4-amino-3-hydroxybutyloxy spacer either enzymatically or by exposure to sodium periodate) with a single substrate resulting in a fluorescent signal. The main virtues of Clips-O substrates are an increased stability towards non-enzymatic hydrolysis that results in a reduced background and high sensitivity.

(+)-Biotin 4-amidobenzoic acid sodium salt, often referred as (+)-biotin PABA, is a fluorogenic substrate used to measure biotinidase activity, especially in newborn screening programs.

PAIRED PRODUCT AVAILABLE: alpha-L-iduronidase Enzyme, FI179383.
4MU-alpha-L-idopyranosiduronic acid is a fluorogenic substrate for alpha-L-iduronidase. Active alpha-L-iduronidase cleaves the MU moiety from the synthetic substrate, which results in release of a fluorescent signal (Ex 360 nm / Em 455 nm). The reaction is stopped by the addition of sodium carbonate. 4MU-alpha-L-idopyranosiduronic acid is used in alpha-L-iduronidase assays in the context of biochemical characterisation of samples from patients affected by lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I).

4-Methylumbelliferyl palmitate, commonly names as 4-MUP, is a fluorescent probe that binds to lipases, enzymes responsible to assist on the hydrolysis of fats. In diagnosis, 4-MUP is used for screening of lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) caused by a deficiency of a single enzyme involved in the metabolism of glycoproteins, lipids or mucopolysaccharides.
