Substrate for a-glucosidase inhibitor
p-Nitrophenyl α-D-Glucopyranoside is a substrate for α-glucosidase inhibitor.
ChEBI: An alpha-D-glucoside that is beta-D-glucopyranose in which the anomeric hydroxy hydrogen is replaced by a 4-nitrophenyl group.
Purify 4-nitrophenyl--D-glucopyranoside by recrystallisation from H2O, MeOH or EtOH. [Jermyn Aust J Chem 7 202 1954, Montgomery et al. J Am Chem Soc 64 690 1942.] It is a chromogenic substrate from -glucosidases [Oliviera et al. Anal Biochem 1 1 3 1881981], and is a C5227substrate for glucansucrases [Binder & Robyt Carbohydr Research 124 2871983]. [Beilstein 17/7 V 53.]
