Chromogenic Substrates

2-Chloro-4-nitrophenyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside is a substrate used to measure the alpha-mannosidase activity. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the lysosomal degradation of asparagine-linked carbohydrate cores of glycoproteinsis. The use of 2-Chloro-4-nitrophenyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside in diagnostic assays is important as a deficiency in alpha-mannosidase leads to the accumulation of mannose-rich oligosaccharides in lysosomes, causing a range of health problems collectively known as alpha-mannosidosis.

Chromogenic substrate for esterase with C9 activity yielding a salmon colored precipitate upon cleavage.

Aldol® 515 beta-D-xylopyranoside is a chemiluminescent ligand that can be used for the detection of beta-xylosidase activity to yield a red color.

6-Bromo-2-naphthyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect alpha-glucosidase enzyme activity. When cleaved by the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, it releases 6-bromo-2-naphthol, which can be coupled with diazonium salts (for example 4'-amino-2,3'-dimethylazobenzene, also known as Fast Garnet GBC) to form a colored precipitate. 6-Bromo-2-naphthyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside is used in biochemical assays, histochemistry, and diagnostic tests for conditions like lysosomal storage disorders (e.g. Pompe disease) and carbohydrate metabolism studies.

2-Nitrophenyl butyrate is a chromogenic enzyme substrate that is commonly used in enzymatic assays to detect lipases and esterases. When hydrolyzed by these enzymes, the substrate yields a yellow product that can be detected spectrophotometrically at 405 nm. The advantage of using 2-nitrophenyl butyrate is its high sensitivity and specificity for detecting lipolytic and esterolytic activities. This substrate is widely used in various applications, including enzyme kinetics studies, inhibitor screening, and the determination of esterase activity in biological samples such as serum, plasma, and cell lysates.

6-Chloro-3-indolyl b-D-glucuronide sodium salt is a chromogenic substrate for beta-glucuronidase, a reporter gene used to monitor gene expression by detecting the enzyme's activity. It yields a salmon colored precipitate upon cleavage.

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-xylopyranoside is an enzyme substrate. This chromogenic substrate is used for beta-D-xylosidase enzyme. In culture media, 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-xylopyranoside is utilised for identification of bacteria such as Klebsiella and Enterobacter.

Modified naphtol AS substrate used in histochemical and cytochemical staining

Aldol® 455 beta-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of beta-glucosidase activity. The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by beta-glucosidase producing bacteria grown in liquid or solid media, yielding a yellow color and green to orange fluorescence. Aldol® 455 beta-D-glucopyranoside can be used under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl phosphate, dilithium salt hydrate is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the specific enzymatic activity of alkaline phosphatase. 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-indoxyl phosphate, dilithium salt hydrate is used in ELISA and molecular biology assays such as lacZ reporter systems.

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-fucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used is for the enzyme beta-fucosidase.

6-Chloro-3-indolyl b-D-cellobioside is a chromogenic substrate that produces a salmon-pink color after enzymatic cleavage. It is used for detecting the activity of beta-D-cellobiosidase in enzyme assays.

Chitin azure is a chromogenic substrate for chitinases. It is one of the few specific substrates for this enzyme that produces chito-oligosaccharides from chitin.

Aldol 458 acetate is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It is an enzyme substrate that can be used in the detection of β-galactosidase, alkaline phosphatase, and other enzymes. Aldol 458 acetate can be used for the detection of β-galactosidase by chemiluminescence or bioluminescence. It has been shown to have high purity and high quality as well as being a ligand that can be conjugated with a fluorescent dye to provide a fluorescent substrate. Aldol 458 acetate can also be used in culture media for the growth of bacteria. It has been shown to have strong inhibitory effects on Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus.
