3-Indolyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-galactopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate that reacts with the enzyme β-galactosidase to produce a blue product. This product can be used to diagnose the presence of β-galactosidase in culture media, as well as in food and environmental testing. 3IAG is also a chromogenic substrate that can be used for detection of β-galactosidase activity.

4-Nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-a-D-glucopyranoside is a synthetic compound with the ability to inhibit the enzyme glutamicum. It is a radionuclide that can be used as a focusing agent for gamma cameras and has been shown to be effective against corynebacterium glutamicum and other organisms. 4NP2AG was synthesized by reacting nitrophenol with acetamide in the presence of an acid catalyst and hydrogenating the product. The synthesis employs precession chemistry, which involves rotating a molecule around its axis at high speed to increase its concentration in one area. This treatment leads to a higher yield of desired product. 4NP2AG contains two acetamido groups on the glucopyranoside moiety, which are esterified with nitrophenol and acetic acid respectively. These moieties are

4-Nitrophenyl beta-galactoside (pNP-Gal) is a chromogenic substrate commonly used in enzymatic assays to detect and quantify the presence of beta-galactosidase. It is hydrolyzed by the enzyme to release 4-nitrophenol, which produces a yellow color that can be measured spectrophotometrically. Similarly, 4-Nitrophenyl beta-glucoside (pNP-Glc) can be used to assay beta-glucosidase activity. 4-Nitrophenyl beta-globotrioside (pNP-Glo) is a similar compound that has been designed as a substrate for glycosidases that cleave terminal beta-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetylgalactosamine residues. In these assays, the release of 4-nitrophenol can be measured to determine the activity of the enzyme under study. The use of chromogenic substrates like pNP-Glo allows for the rapid and reliable detection of glycosidase activity in a variety of biological samples.

Modified naphtol AS substrate used in histochemical and cytochemical staining

4-Nitrophenyl alpha-D-maltotetraoside is a chromogenic substrate used for the detection of alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase activity. The four glucose units in the molecule are hydrolyzed by the enzyme, releasing 4-nitrophenol and allowing for easy colorimetric measurement of enzymatic activity

1-Naphthyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate. It is used in diagnostics and as a reagent for enzymatic analysis of alpha-mannosidase activity in culture media, food testing, and environmental testing.

4-Nitrophenyl-myo-inositol-1-yl phosphate is a highly specific chromogenic substrate used for the detection, quantification, and characterization of phosphoinositide phosphatases. When cleaved by the target enzyme, it generates a highly absorbing 4-nitrophenyl moiety, producing a yellow color that can be measured spectrophotometrically. This versatile substrate is valuable in examining phosphoinositide phosphatase activity, enzyme kinetics, substrate specificity, and inhibition studies in various cellular processes, including signal transduction, lipid metabolism, and membrane trafficking.
