Product Information

• Name: 4-Nitrophenyl Anthranilate
• Synonyms: 2-Aminobenzoic Acid 4-Nitrophenyl EsterAnthranilic Acid 4-Nitrophenyl Ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Nitrophenyl anthranilate is a potent inhibitor of serine protease. It is synthesized by reacting an anthranilate with an hydroxyl group in the presence of ultraviolet light, and can be used as a fluorescent probe. 4-Nitrophenyl anthranilate binds to the active site of serine protease, and prevents the hydrolysis of proteins by blocking the cleavage of peptide bonds at the carboxylic acid termini. This compound has been shown to inhibit human serum albumin and cell nuclei in vitro. The reaction mechanism for this compound is unknown, but it is believed that it may involve a photo-induced electron transfer mechanism.
