4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside
Based on 1 Customer Validation
4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside (4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-D-Glucose) is a fluorescent substrate for α-glucosidase, which releases the fluorescent moiety 4-methylumbelliferyl (4-MU) upon cleavage. 4-MU has pH-dependent fluorescence excitation activity, with excitation wavelengths of 320 nm at low pH (1.97-6.72) and 360 nm at high pH (7.12-10.3), respectively. The emission wavelength of 4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside increases with decreasing pH, ranging from 445-455 nm. 4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside can be used as a biomarker for Fabry and Pompe diseases to quantify α-glucosidase activity in infant blood spot samples.

GAA enzyme assay[2]
1. Preparation of 4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside working solution
1) Prepare 2 mM 4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside working solution.
2. Experimental steps
1) Harvest fibroblasts and HEK293T cells by trypsinization and disrupt by freeze-thawing (3 times).
2) Mix the cell homogenate (30-40 μg protein) with 2 mM 4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside in 0.2 acetate buffer (pH 4.0) and incubate at 37° for 60 min.
3) The reaction is stopped with 1.9 mL of glycine carbonate buffer (pH 10.7) and fluorescence is read on a Turner Biosystems Modulus 9200 fluorometer (360 nm excitation, 450 nm emission).

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
DMSO : 25 mg/mL (73.90 mM; ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (stored under nitrogen). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (7.39 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (7.39 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
