5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-xylopyran, oside, 500 mg

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-xylopyranoside is a halogenated indoxyl glycoside employed as a chromogenic substrate in biochemical and enzymological studies. Identified by CAS number 207606-55-1 and empirical formula C₁₃H₁₃BrClNO₅, it has a molar mass of 378,6 g/mol and a boiling point of 621 °C. The compound supports detection of β-xylosidase activity through release of a coloured indoxyl derivative after enzymatic cleavage. This reagent from manufacturer Carl ROTH belongs to the biochemicals portfolio used in molecular and microbial laboratories. Applications include enzyme characterisation, substrate specificity work and indicator systems where xylopyranoside cleavage provides a clear visual signal. Prepare working solutions under standard laboratory conditions appropriate for sensitive glycosides. The defined CAS identity, molecular formula and pack size support reproducible experimental design in research environments focused on glycoside hydrolases and related analytical workflows.
