4-Nitrophenyl propionate (NPP) is a synthetic compound used as a substrate for the enzyme carboxylesterase. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents. NPP is synthesized by reacting 4-nitrophenol with propionic acid in the presence of a catalyst. The hydrolysis of NPP by carboxylesterase is a widely used assay for measuring carboxylesterase activity. This enzyme is involved in the metabolism of various compounds, including drugs, pesticides, and other xenobiotics. The hydrolysis of NPP by carboxylesterase is also used as a model system for studying the mechanisms of enzyme catalysis. The compound is studied to understand the enzyme activity and its role in various metabolic processes. It is also used in research on enzyme inhibition and drug development.'
