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

Esterase activity in guinea-pig thyroid and mouse epididymis epithelial cells has been studied using 5-bromoindoxyl acetate as substrate. The pattern of esterase activity in the thyroid of the guinea-pig is constant, irrespective of whether ferri-ferrocyanide (FFC) or certain copper compounds

Nonspecific esterase of mouse epididymis has previously been studied histochemically, using alpha naphthyl-acetate and 5-bromoindoxyl acetate techniques, as well as certain inhibitors. Epithelial cell types of the epididymis have been characterized, and certain esterase isozymes in a particular cell type

Activity for non-specific esterase was demonstrated in the matrix of developing bovine enamel with alpha-naphthyl acetate and 5-bromoindoxyl acetate as the esterase substrates. By use of high-performance liquid chromatography gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, and electrophoresis three esterases were shown to
