1-Naphthyl acetate is a chemical compound that functions as a substrate for the enzyme esterase in various experimental. When introduced into a reaction, it undergoes hydrolysis by esterase, resulting in the formation of 1-naphthol and acetic acid. 1-Naphthyl acetate reaction is utilized to measure esterase activity in biological samples, as the release of 1-naphthol can be quantitatively measured using spectrophotometric methods. The mode of action of 1-naphthyl acetate involves its interaction with esterase enzymes, leading to the cleavage of the acetate group and the subsequent release of 1-naphthol. This process allows for the assessment of esterase activity in a variety of experimental applications, providing insights into biological processes and enzymatic function.
