Description

5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl caprylate is also known as magenta caprylate. Upon the cleavage of the ester bond in the substrate by esterase enzymes, 5-bromo-6-chloro-1H-indol-3-ol is released. When exposed to oxygen (such as in the air) this undergoes dimerization to form 5,5'-dibromo-6,6'-dicholoro-indigo, which is a magenta coloured chromophore (λmax 565nm). Bacteria such as Salmonella and some Klebsiella and Enterobacter produce caprylate esterase and so this substrate can be used for the detection of these bacteria in samples, such as in food. This product is patent pending, as polymorphs of this product can have different physicochemical properties and can improve solubility and stability. Cymit Quimica is able to product high quality, stable product to detect esterase enzyme activity.
