Chromogenic Substrates

2-Naphthyl-lpha-D-glucopyranoside is a substrate for α-glucosidase. 2-Naphthol is released upon hydrolyzation. By simultaneous coupling with a suitable staining reagent, such as hexazonium p-rosaniline, the corresponding reddish-brown azo-dye is formed. Naphthols can also be detected by fluorescence analysis.

5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-glucuronide cyclohexylammonium salt is a magenta enzyme substrate commonly used in biochemical assays. This compound is a derivative of indole, containing bromine and chlorine atoms at positions 5 and 6, respectively. The glucuronide moiety is attached to the indolyl ring, and the cyclohexylammonium cation serves as a counterion to balance the charge. This substrate is often utilized in the detection and quantification of β-glucuronidase activity, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of glucuronides. Upon cleavage by β-glucuronidase, the substrate produces a magenta-colored product, allowing for easy visualization and measurement of enzyme activity.

4-Nitrophenyl 6-O-(alpha-D-mannopyranosyl)-alpha-D-mannopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate for alpha-mannosidase. Upon hydrolysis, para-nitrophenol is released yielding a yellowish colour. 4-Nitrophenyl 6-O-(alpha-D-mannopyranosyl)-alpha-D-mannopyranoside is used in different applications such as the Lysosomal storage disorder diagnosis (e.g., alpha-mannosidosis)

Chromogenic substrate for α-glucanase

Isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is a non-metabolizable allolactose analogue, widely used in molecular biology for overexpression of recombinant proteins from inducible systems under the control of lac promoter. IPTG binds to the LacI repressor and causes its release from the lac operator, allowing gene expression of lac operon to take place. IPTG is present in vectors of pGEX, pGEM-T, pET, pRSET, pMAL class and others.

Chromogenic substrate targeting beta- galactosidase and whose color is dependent on the metal chelating.Alizarin-2-beta-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate for enzymes based on alizarin and has been reported for the detection of bacterial beta-galactosidase by researchers at the University of Northumbria and the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK (James, 2000).

3-Indoxyl phosphate p-toluidine salt is a secretor of blood group A. It is used in the detection of the presence of alkaline phosphatase in serum and other body fluids. This compound has been shown to be an isoform of 3-indoxyl phosphate with a molecular mass of about 4,000 daltons. It is also used as a substrate for gel electrophoresis and filtration experiments. The purified form of this compound has been shown to have an alkaline phosphatase activity that is ˜4 times greater than that found in human serum and intestinal extracts.

Substrate for feruloyl esterases

Chromogenic cephalosporin substrate for the detection of beta-lactamase activity

4-Nitrophenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside-6-phosphate is a chromogenic substrate for glucose-6-phosphatase. Upon hydrolysis, para-nitrophenol is released yielding a yellowish colour. 4-Nitrophenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside-6-phosphate is used in different applications such as the Glycogen storage disease diagnosis (e.g., von Gierke disease)

Chromogenic substrate for alkaline and acid phosphatase

Naphthol AS-D is a diagnostic chemical for phosphatase enzymes and is used to stain cells, tissues, and body fluids for diagnosis. The chemical reacts with the amino groups of proteins in cells and produces a brown color. Naphthol AS-D is not toxic to living cells in concentrations below 5%. It stains basophilic leukemia cells as well as brain cells. This chemical can be used to diagnose cutaneous lesions, such as psoriasis or melanoma, which are difficult to diagnose by standard methods.  present in these lesions and produce a brown color.

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-L-rhamnoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the specific enzymatic activity of alpha-L-rhamnosidase. After cleavage, 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl is released, resulting in a blue to blue-green color change in bacterial colonies or media. 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-L-rhamnoside is used in bacterial rhamnose metabolism studies (e.g. E. coli).

Chromogenic substrate for alkaline phosphatase

4-Nitrophenyl 2-O-trans-feruloyl-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside is a chromogenic substrate for alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase. Upon hydrolysis, para-nitrophenol is released yielding a yellowish colour. 4-Nitrophenyl 2-O-trans-feruloyl-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside is used in different applications such as the Plant biomass analysis, bacterial arabinan degradation assays
