7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) can be used as a fluorescence reference standard for AMC-based enzyme substrates including AMC-based caspase substrates. The fluorescence spectra of AMC is not subject to variability due to pH-dependent protonation/deprotonation when assayed near or above physiological pH.

To make a concentrated stock solution of up to 10 mg/mL, dissolve in either acetone, high quality anhydrous DMSO or DMF. Store frozen, desiccated and protected from light.

Abstract
High-performance liquid affinity chromatography and in situ fluorescent labeling on thin-layer chromatography of glycosphingolipids.
Authors:Tomono Y, Abe K, Watanabe K
Journal:Anal Biochem
PubMed ID:2327579
'A method combining high-performance liquid affinity chromatography and in situ fluorescent labeling on thin-layer chromatography is introduced for determination of glycosphingolipids. Glycolipids in crude extract from rat liver were separated quantitatively from neutral lipids and phospholipids with a phenylboronic acid-derivatized silica gel column. Glycolipids were eluted quantitatively with approximately 98% ... More
Visual detection of peptidase activity using fluorogenic substrates in a microtiter plate assay.

'A simple, inexpensive, and sensitive assay for peptidase activity has been devised. The assay was performed in a microtiter plate and was based on fluorogenic peptide substrates, many of which are commercially available. 7-Amino-4-methyl coumarin the fluorescent product liberated during an incubation period of between 1 and 16 h, was ... More

PubMed ID:6846798
Potential aldehyde groups of N-acetylglucosamine and its di- and tri-saccharides were coupled with 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) by reductive amination in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride. The products were purified by silica gel chromatography. Acid hydrolysis and digestion with glycosidases gave the expected products. One picomole of the sugar-AMC complexes could be ... More

PubMed ID:161507
A new fluorogenic peptide substrate for plasmin, 7-(N-succinoylalanylphenylalanyl-lysylamido)-4-methylcoumarin trifluoroacetate salt, was prepared that can be used in a simple and direct assay. The results obtained by the assay method are linear over a wide range of enzyme concentrations and sensitive enough to detect as little as 10(-5) CTA units of ... More
