Fluorogenic Substrates

4-Trifluoromethylumbelliferyl a-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid is a fluorescent chemiluminescent substrate that is used in the detection of beta-galactosidase activity. Beta-galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of 4-trifluoromethylumbelliferyl a-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid to form 4-trifluoromethylumbelliferone and D-galactose, which emits light at approximately 480 nm. This reaction can be detected by fluorescence spectrophotometry using a fluorometer or photometer. 4TFUNA is not toxic, does not inhibit enzymes, and has been tested for toxicity and mutagenicity using bacteria and mammalian cells.

Resorufin benzyl ether is a chemical compound that can be used as a substrate for cytochrome P450. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of epoxide hydrolase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of endoperoxides. Resorufin benzyl ether has also been found to inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are responsible for oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. This compound has been shown to have a high affinity for mouse monoclonal antibody and is used in immunoassays to detect mouse antibodies. Resorufin benzyl ether is used in biochemical assays and polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) as a fluorescence marker. In addition, this compound is used in model systems to study enzyme activities such as recombinant cytochrome p450 and protein oxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS).

5-Octanoylaminofluoroscein di-b-D-glactopyranoside is a chemiluminescent substrate that can be used for the detection of peroxidase activity. It is a bifunctional substrate, which means it has two reactive groups: one at the 5 position and one at the 8 position. The 5-octanoylaminofluorescein reacts with hydrogen peroxide in a 1:1 ratio, emitting light at 490 nm. The 8-position amine reacts with 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline)6 sulphonic acid (ABTS) to produce an orange color product that acts as a chromogen. The substrate can be used in diagnostics, food testing, and enzyme substrates.

Fluorogenic substrate used to differentiate cytochrome P450 monooxygenases

4-Methylumbelliferyl 4-deoxy-b-D-chitobiose peracetate is a chromogenic substrate used for the detection of β-galactosidase activity. It is an analog of 4-methylumbelliferone that can be hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase to produce fluorescence. This product is supplied as a white crystalline solid and can be stored at room temperature. This substrate has been shown to work well in culture media, food testing, and environmental testing.
