Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet.
For general assay setup guidance, see the “Reaction Conditions” tab, and consult enzyme‑specific literature for validated protocols and readout parameters.
Biological Roles
This compound is a synthetic substrate and does not have a natural biological role. Its utility stems from mimicking an N‑terminal histidine residue coupled to a fluorogenic/ chromogenic leaving group.
Enzymatic context (literature):
Aminopeptidases and related exopeptidases may recognize L‑histidine at the N‑terminus; hydrolysis of the arylamide bond liberates β‑naphthylamine for detection.
Suitable for probing substrate preference for histidine versus other residues (e.g., Leu‑βNA, Arg‑βNA).
Kinetic/biophysical considerations (general):
The imidazole side chain (pKa ~6.0, literature) can influence binding and turnover depending on assay pH and active‑site environment.
Fluorometric detection of the released β‑naphthylamine enables sensitive quantification of enzyme activity in complex biological samples after appropriate sample cleanup.
Experimental roles:
Tool compound for enzyme characterization, inhibitor screening, and activity staining in gels (post‑electrophoresis coupling to diazonium dyes).
No medical or clinical claims are made. Use is restricted to laboratory research applications.
Buffer Applications
This product is not a buffering agent and is not typically used to prepare buffer systems.
Practical note (assay context, literature): For enzyme assays using L‑histidine β‑naphthylamide, common buffers include Tris‑HCl, HEPES, or phosphate at pH 7.0–8.0. Ionic strength (50–150 mM) and additives (e.g., 0.01% nonionic surfactant, 0.5–2 mM metal ions or chelators as appropriate) should be optimized for the target enzyme.
For actual buffer formulation details and compatibility with your enzyme system, consult primary literature and validate empirically.
Green Alternatives
While the molecule itself is the functional substrate, greener choices often relate to solvent and assay media.
Opportunity areas:
Reduce or replace dipolar aprotic solvents (DMSO/DMF) where feasible.
Favor aqueous buffers and benign co‑solvents while preserving solubility and enzyme activity.
Comparison (literature‑based, general):
| Aspect | Conventional choice | Greener alternative | Trade‑offs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock solvent | DMSO | Aqueous acidic stock (e.g., 0.05–0.1 M HCl), or ethanol ≤10% | Aqueous acid requires rapid neutralization; EtOH may affect some enzymes |
| Co‑solvent in assay | 1–2% DMSO | ≤1% ethanol, glycerol (1–5%), or PEG‑400 (≤1%) | Viscosity and potential interference with kinetics |
| Waste handling | Organic/halogenated mixes | Segregate minimal DMSO aqueous waste | Requires procedural discipline |
Practical guidance:
Pilot solubility in slightly acidic aqueous media to reduce DMSO usage.
Use minimal co‑solvent compatible with enzyme performance; run solvent controls.
Prepare smaller, single‑use aliquots to limit freeze‑thaw and reduce discarded residues.

Physical Properties
Item-specific specifications have not been provided for this SKU. The following values are general/literature guidance for the neutral free base and should be verified against the CoA/Spec Sheet before use in regulated methods.
Appearance: Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet.
Molecular weight: ~280.33 g/mol (literature/computed for C16H16N4O).
Melting point: Frequently reported for amino acid β‑naphthylamides as solid organics with decomposition; specific MP for L‑histidine β‑naphthylamide is not well established in primary sources. Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet.
Solubility (literature/typical):
Water: Low to sparingly soluble at neutral pH due to hydrophobic naphthyl group; solubility increases in mildly acidic aqueous media (e.g., 0.1 M HCl) or with co‑solvents (DMSO, DMF).
Organic: Soluble in polar aprotic solvents (DMSO, DMF); limited in alcohols; poor in nonpolar hydrocarbons.
pKa (literature/estimated qualitative):
Imidazole side chain pKa ~6.0 (histidine motif, literature); overall compound displays multiple acid/base sites; exact macroscopic pKa values for the arylamide are not well documented.
LogP/logD (qualitative literature expectation): Amphipathic; higher hydrophobicity than free histidine due to β‑naphthyl; logD is pH‑dependent.
UV/Vis (literature/typical): Naphthyl chromophore shows absorbance in the near‑UV (approx. 220–280 nm); upon enzymatic release of β‑naphthylamine, fluorescence is observed (Ex ~330–340 nm, Em ~410 nm, literature).

Stabilizers/additives: Not specified for this item; refer to CoA/Spec Sheet. In general, neat solids are provided without stabilizers; if a salt form is provided, counter‑ions will be listed on the CoA.
Documentation: Request batch CoA for exact purity, identity tests, residual solvents, optical rotation, and assay suitability if your workflow is quantitative (e.g., kinetic enzyme assays).
Reaction and Applications
Primary application is as a chromogenic/fluorogenic enzymology substrate. Aminopeptidases that specifically remove N‑terminal L‑histidine from peptides can hydrolyze L‑histidine β‑naphthylamide to release β‑naphthylamine, which is detectable colorimetrically (via diazotization coupling) or fluorometrically.
Enzymology (literature):
Substrate class: X‑β‑naphthylamides (X = amino acid) for profiling aminopeptidase specificity and activity.
Readout modes:
Fluorescence of β‑naphthylamine: Ex ~330–340 nm, Em ~410 nm.
Color development: Coupling β‑naphthylamine with diazonium salts (e.g., Fast Garnet GBC, Fast Blue) to form azo dyes measured at visible wavelengths.
Use cases: Enzyme kinetics (Km, kcat), inhibitor screening, specificity mapping for histidine‑preferring aminopeptidases.
Practical tips:
Ensure substrate purity to minimize background fluorescence. Include a no‑enzyme control.
Maintain consistent DMSO content across wells when using organic stocks.
For end‑point azo dye assays, strictly control coupling reagent concentration, pH (often ~6–8), and time to ensure linear response.
Related chemistries (general): Arylamide hydrolysis by proteases/peptidases; the imidazole side chain can influence binding/turnover relative to aliphatic substrates.
Note: Specific enzyme compatibilities and kinetics vary by source and assay conditions; consult primary literature and validate in your system.

Safety and Handling
Product-specific GHS details were not provided. Always consult the SDS for authoritative safety information.
GHS/Classification (item-specific): Not specified for this item; refer to SDS.
General hazards (chemistry knowledge): Aromatic amide containing a naphthyl moiety; may cause irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Avoid dust generation. The released β‑naphthylamine in enzymatic assays is a separate chemical with its own hazards—handle downstream products accordingly.
Use in a fume hood when weighing or preparing concentrated stock solutions, especially in organic solvents (DMSO, DMF).
Handling tips:
Minimize exposure to light to protect the naphthyl chromophore from photodegradation.
Prepare fresh solutions when possible; avoid prolonged storage of aqueous stocks at ambient temperature.
Incompatibilities (general): Strong oxidizers; strong acids/bases may promote degradation or racemization under forcing conditions.
First-aid overview (consult SDS for details):
Eye/skin contact: Rinse with water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air; seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting; seek medical attention.
Waste: Collect organic solvent solutions and fluorescent assay waste in labeled hazardous waste containers. Follow institutional and local regulations.
Solvent Selection
L‑Histidine β‑naphthylamide is an amphipathic solid: a polar amino acid headgroup and a hydrophobic β‑naphthyl tail. This duality drives practical solvent choices for stock solutions and assay buffers.
Polarity and miscibility (literature/typical):
Readily soluble in polar aprotic solvents (DMSO, DMF) at 10–100 mM.
Sparingly soluble in pure water at neutral pH; solubility improves in mildly acidic aqueous media (e.g., 10–100 mM HCl) or with 5–20% co‑solvent (DMSO).
Poorly soluble in nonpolar solvents (hexanes, toluene).
Recommended practices (general):
Prepare a concentrated DMSO stock (e.g., 10–50 mM), then dilute into buffered aqueous media to reach final DMSO ≤1–2% v/v for enzyme assays.
If DMSO is undesirable, dissolve in minimal DMF, or create an acidic aqueous concentrate (e.g., pH 3–4) followed by neutralization in buffer immediately before use.
Buffer compatibility (assay context): Tris, HEPES, or phosphate buffers at pH 7.0–8.0 are commonly used for aminopeptidase assays; include 0.01–0.1% nonionic surfactant if adsorption is observed.
Comparison (literature‑based):
DMSO: highest solvency; excellent for freezer‑stable aliquots; potential enzyme inhibition at >2%.
DMF: similar solvency; more hygroscopic/odor; consider toxicity.
Aqueous acid (e.g., 0.1 M HCl): improves dissolution without organic co‑solvents; requires prompt pH adjustment on dilution.
