Description

5-Bromo-3-indoxyl-3-acetate is a reaction product of 5-bromoindoxyl and acetone. It is activated by the enzyme lipofuscin, which is found in animals. Lipofuscin has been shown to be involved in cell maturation and fatty acid synthesis. 5-Bromo-3-indoxyl-3-acetate stains gland cells that are neutral ph, such as the submandibular gland and proximal tubules of the kidney. The optimum pH for this compound is around 7, which means it can be used at an acidic level with sodium taurocholate. This product stains cells that have been stained with borax carmine.
