SMILES: C1=CC(=C(C2=C1NC=C2O[C@H]3[C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H]([C@H](O3)CO)O)O)O)Cl)Br
Description: The molecule is an indolyl carbohydrate that is the beta-D-glucoside of 3-hydroxy-1H-indole in which the indole moiety is substituted at positions 4 and 5 by chlorine and bromine, respectively. It is used to test for the presence of an enzyme, beta-glucosidase, which cleaves the glycosidic bond to give 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-hydroxy-1H-indole, which immediately dimerises to give an intensely blue product. It has a role as a chromogenic compound. It is an indolyl carbohydrate, an organobromine compound, an organochlorine compound, a D-aldohexose derivative and a beta-D-glucoside. It derives from an indoxyl.
