CAS 259827-72-0: Phosphonic acid, hexyl-, methyl 4-nitrophenyl ester

Methyl 4-nitrophenyl hexyl phosphonate is a lipase suicide inhibitor that is a chromogenic substrate for lipases which upon enzymatic action, binds irreversibly to the lipase and inactivates it. The substrate can be used for the determination of active sites in lipases.

Methyl 4-nitrophenyl hexylphosphonate is a phosphonate inhibitor of the enzyme serine esterase. It has been shown to be more potent than other irreversible inhibitors such as ethyl 4-nitrophenyl hexylphosphonate and methyl 4-nitrophenoxybutyl phosphate. This compound is an immobilized form of the methyl 4-nitrophenyl hexylphosphonate that is immobilized on an inert surface, such as silica gel, via a covalent bonding process. The immobilization of the molecule ensures that it will not leach from the surface and is stable over time. The molecular weight of this substance is 411.5 Daltons and its molecular formula is C8H15NO4P. This substance has a diameter of 0.8 nm and can be found in crystalline form with a melting point of 143 degrees Celsius at atmospheric pressure. Methyl 4-nitrophenyl

Methyl 4-nitrophenyl hexylphosphonate

Lipase suicide inhibitor product with the ability to determine lipase and hydrolase activity in complex protein mixtures. They are suitable for use in active site titration experiments to establish the molar amount of enzyme.
