Naphthol AS phosphate disodium salt
Naphthol AS phosphate disodium salt (CAS 69815-54-9), with the molecular formula C17H12NO5PNa2 and a molecular weight of 387.23, is a chemical compound primarily utilised in biological staining procedures. It serves as a substrate for enzyme histochemistry and cytochemistry, enabling the visualisation of specific enzymatic activities within cells and tissues. Its application is crucial in fields requiring detailed microscopic analysis of cellular structures and functions.

Enzyme Histochemistry
Naphthol AS phosphate disodium salt acts as a chromogenic substrate for alkaline phosphatase. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis, it liberates naphthol, which then couples with a diazonium salt to form an insoluble coloured precipitate at the site of enzyme activity, aiding in cellular localisation studies.
Cytochemistry
In cytochemical applications, this compound is employed to detect and localise alkaline phosphatase activity within cells. This is instrumental in identifying specific cell types and understanding cellular processes dependent on this enzyme.
Histology Staining
It is a valuable reagent in histological staining techniques, particularly for demonstrating the presence and distribution of alkaline phosphatase in tissue sections, contributing to diagnostic pathology and research.
