Abstract

4-Methylumbelliferyl 6'-O-benzyl-beta-D-lactoside (6'Bn-MU-Lac) and some related compounds were synthesized via different selective reactions including phase-transfer glycosylation. Their suitability as substrates for a fluorometric assay of ceramide glycanase (CGase) was evaluated. Among others, the 6'Bn-MU-Lac, which is resistant to exogalactosidase, was found to be a suitable substrate for routine assay of the CGase activity. For American leech CGase, the K(m) value is 0.232 mM at pH 5.
