Chromogenic Substrates

<p>Crimson-Gal (Crimson-beta-D-galactopyranoside) is a chromogenic indicator for beta-galactosidase activity. The colorless product is cleaved by lactose-utilizing bacteria in liquid media or on agar plates and yields a crimson colored precipitate. Crimson-Gal can also be used as detecting agent for beta-galactosidase activity in reporter gene assays or for identification of positive transformants on agar plates when using the α-complementation approach.

<p>5-Amino-3-indoxyl-b-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate for the enzyme galactosidase. 5-Amino-3-indoxyl-b-D-galactopyranoside is used in diagnostic tests to identify the presence of lactose intolerance. It can also be used to detect traces of blood in food, water, and other substances. This product has a high purity that makes it suitable for conjugation applications.</p>

<p>Aldol® 514 inositol-phosphate is a chromogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of phosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC, EC 4.6.1.13). The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by PI-PLC positive microorganisms, yielding a red-orange color. The substrate thus enables the detection and identification of various bacteria, such as, pathogenic strains of Listeria, Clostridium, Bacillus, and Staphylococcus. Aldol® 514 inositol-phosphate is suitable for use under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.</p>

<p>Chromogenic substrate for alpha-glucosidase</p>

<p>2-Chloro-4-nitrophenyl-alpha-L-fucopyranoside is a compound that is commonly used as an enzyme substrate for glycogen synthase kinase (GSK). It is activated by GSK-3β and has been shown to inhibit the activity of this enzyme. This compound has also been found to have inhibitory effects on other enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase and lactate dehydrogenase. Additionally, 2-Chloro-4-nitrophenyl-alpha-L-fucopyranoside exhibits antifungal activity against various fungi, including those resistant to other antifungal agents such as fluopyram and prothioconazole. Its mechanism of action involves interfering with ergosterol biosynthesis, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Furthermore, this compound has potential applications in the development of new drugs targeting GSK-3β and β-catenin signaling pathways, which are implicated in various diseases including cancer and neuro</p>
