P-nitrophenyl butyrate Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Description
P-nitrophenyl butyrate also kown as 4-nitrophenyl butyrate, is a probe for lipase activity. It is hydrolyzed by lipase in the water ambient condition, giving rise to p-nitrophenol and butyric acid. P-nitrophenol actually occurs in the anionic form, p-nitrophenolate, giving a yellowish coloration and absorbing light at 410 nm in an alkaline buffer such as Tris-HCl pH 7.5.
Uses
4-Nitrophenyl butyrate is a substrate for esterase, and lipase enzyme. Hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl butyrate by these enzymes releases the chromophore, 4-nitrophenolate which is spectrophotometrically analysed at 415 nm.
Definition
ChEBI: P-nitrophenyl butyrate is a butyrate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of 4-nitrophenol with the carboxy group of butyric acid. It is a butyrate ester and a C-nitro compound. It is functionally related to a 4-nitrophenol.
