1-naphthyl

1-Naphthyl acetate 是一种有吸引力的生色底物，用于检测红细胞乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性。它具有检测有机磷农药中毒的潜力。

N-(4-Anilino-1-naphthyl)maleimide 是用于检测蛋白质硫醇基团的荧光探针。该探针与硫醇基反应形成稳定的荧光化合物，其λex=355 nm，λem=448 nm。

bis-ANS is a high-affinity non-covalent extrinsic fluorescent dye used to analyze protein conformation.[1] Its predominant interaction with proteins is through its hydrophobic phenyl and naphthyl rings.[2] bis-ANS has an excitation maxima of 390 nm.[3] It has an emission maximum of 523 nm when free in solution but undergoes a blue shift with an increase in fluorescence intensity when bound to protein; for example, when bound to intestinal fatty acid binding protein (FAPB2) it has emission maxima of 484-496 nm. bis-ANS has been used to label mechanically damaged neurons in acute brain slices.4 It also potently inhibits microtubule assembly.[5],[6]

N-Acetyl-DL-phenylalanine β-naphthyl ester 为一芳香族氨基酸酯，用作糜蛋白酶及微生物丝氨酸蛋白酶（例如枯草杆菌蛋白酶）的显色底物。
