4-Nitrophenyl palmitate (4-Nitrophenyl hexadecanoate) is a chromogenic substrate for lipases and esterases. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis, 4-Nitrophenyl palmitate releases p-nitrophenol, which can be quantified by colorimetric detection at 410 nm as a measure of enzymatic activity. 4-Nitrophenyl palmitate is used to characterize the activity of various bacterial and mammalian enzymes, including those from Burkholderia and porcine pancreatic lipase[1][2].
