Description

4-Aminophenyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside is a specialized glycoside derivative that serves as a critical biochemical building block and research reagent. This compound matters for its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates used for enzyme activity assays, particularly for glycosidases. It is primarily needed by research institutions, diagnostic kit manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in biochemical research, diagnostic development, and drug discovery programs.

Application

• Enzyme Substrate Synthesis: A key precursor for manufacturing chromogenic (e.g., p-Nitrophenyl, X-Gal) and fluorogenic substrates used to detect and quantify glycosidase enzyme activity.
• Biochemical Research: Used in studies of carbohydrate metabolism, enzyme kinetics, and inhibition profiling of α-glucosidases and related enzymes.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the production of reagents for clinical and research diagnostics to identify specific enzymatic activities linked to diseases.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a synthetic intermediate in the development of potential therapeutic agents targeting metabolic disorders.
• Glycobiology Studies: Utilized as a standard or probe in research exploring glycosylation processes and carbohydrate-protein interactions.
• Microbiology & Cell Biology: Applied in assays for reporter gene systems (e.g., lacZ) and for staining techniques in histology and cellular imaging.

Quality Control

Our 4-Aminophenyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants.
