General description

5-Bromoindoxyl acetate is a halogenated heterocyclic compound. It is widely used as esterase substrate.

Application

5-Bromoindoxyl acetate may be used as substrate for the assay of insect esterases by employing DEAE (Diethylaminoethyl)-cellulose columns.
5-Bromoindoxyl acetate may be used:
  • as esterase substrate to investigate the activity of non-specific esterase in the matrix of developing bovine enamel
  • in histochemical studies of the nonspecific esterase of mouse epididymis
  • as substrate to investigate the esterase activity in guinea-pig thyroid and mouse epididymis epithelial cells
  • in staining procedure for the frozen sections of muscle fixed in buffered formaldehyde
