4-Methylumbelliferyl b-D-glucuronide trihydrate is a synthetic compound widely employed in a multitude of scientific research applications. This colorless, crystalline substance is generated through the reaction of 4-methylumbelliferone and glucuronic acid. In scientific research, 4-Methylumbelliferyl b-D-glucuronide trihydrate finds extensive use as a substrate for detecting and quantifying the activity of β-glucuronidase, as well as other enzymes such as β-glucosidase, β-galactosidase, and β-xylosidase. The high reactivity of 4-Methylumbelliferyl b-D-glucuronide trihydrate is attributed to its ability to form a complex with specific enzymes, leading to its fluorescence. When exposed to enzymes like β-glucuronidase, it binds to the enzyme and undergoes cleavage into 4-methylumbelliferone and glucuronic acid. Subsequently, the 4-methylumbelliferone exhibits fluorescence, facilitating the detection and quantification of enzyme activity.
