• Beschreibung: 6-Bromo-2-naphthyl beta-D-glucuronide is a substrate for beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme involved in detoxification and bacterial metabolism. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis, it releases 6-bromo-2-naphthol, which forms a detectable dye when reacted with diazonium salts. This compound is widely used in microbiology to detecting E. coli in water testing and histochemical staining. 6-Bromo-2-naphthyl beta-D-glucuronide is also been used in cancer research studies. It has been found that some tumors are related to a high activity of beta-glucuronidase, responsible to reactivate the carcinogens and promote tumor progression, developing a drug resistance to chemotherapy.
