Application

2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate is a thioester analog of triacylglycerol[1] and has been used:
  • in lipase inhibition assay during in vitro screening of medicinal plants as antidiabetics with glucosidase and lipase inhibitory activities[2]
  • in colorimetric microplate assay for lipase activity[3]
  • to analyze positional specificity of LipG (lipase-encoding gene) toward triacylglycerol by a simple continuous spectrophotometric method[1]

The two point test for the determination of lipase by Kurooka et al. (J. Biochem. Tokyo 81, 361-369 (1977)) was studied in detail. This procedure uses 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol-tributyrate as substrate and Ellman's reagent as an acceptor for the released thiol groups.

Using commercially available thiosubstrates, such as 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate, the regio-specificities of 1,3-specific and nonspecific lipases was confirmed. The spectrophotometric test is a simple, rapid, and convenient alternative method to those previously reported for the characterization of the positional specificities of
