Product Description
4-MUNANA is a fluorescent substrate used for the determination of neuraminidase activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Neuraminidase (NA) (Km values for 4-MU-NANA range from 9.57 μM to 1780 μM across viral strains; kcat values range from 0.0257 s⁻¹ to 28.8 s⁻¹; catalytic efficiency kcat/Km ranges from 1.04 × 10³ M⁻¹s⁻¹ to 9.29 × 10⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹)
ln Vitro
In vitro enzymatic assays using 4-MU-NANA showed that neuraminidase (NA) from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus (Cali09) exhibited low activity (kcat = 3.17 s⁻¹, Km = 37.3 μM, kcat/Km = 8.50 × 10⁴ M⁻¹s⁻¹), while NA from historical pandemic strains like A/Japan/305+/1957 (Japan57) had high activity (kcat = 28.8 s⁻¹, Km = 78.6 μM, kcat/Km = 3.66 × 10⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹).
Swine virus NAs displayed variable activities: sw/Indiana00 NA had very low activity (kcat = 0.0257 s⁻¹, Km = 24.8 μM, kcat/Km = 1.04 × 10³ M⁻¹s⁻¹), whereas sw/Guangxi06 NA was highly efficient (kcat = 5.21 s⁻¹, Km = 9.57 μM, kcat/Km = 5.44 × 10⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹). [1]
Served as fluorescent substrate to screen NA inhibitors from 20 herbal medicines. Bupleurum chinense DC. extract exhibited strongest NA inhibition via fluorescence paper sensor.
Identified saikosaponin a (IC50 = 177.3 μM), saikosaponin d (IC50 = 262.9 μM), and baicalin (IC50 = 241.4 μM) as bioactive inhibitors from Bupleurum chinense using affinity chromatography. [2]
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzymatic assays using 4-MU-NANA showed that neuraminidase (NA) from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus (Cali09) exhibited low activity (kcat = 3.17 s⁻¹, Km = 37.3 μM, kcat/Km = 8.50 × 10⁴ M⁻¹s⁻¹), while NA from historical pandemic strains like A/Japan/305+/1957 (Japan57) had high activity (kcat = 28.8 s⁻¹, Km = 78.6 μM, kcat/Km = 3.66 × 10⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹).
Swine virus NAs displayed variable activities: sw/Indiana00 NA had very low activity (kcat = 0.0257 s⁻¹, Km = 24.8 μM, kcat/Km = 1.04 × 10³ M⁻¹s⁻¹), whereas sw/Guangxi06 NA was highly efficient (kcat = 5.21 s⁻¹, Km = 9.57 μM, kcat/Km = 5.44 × 10⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹). [1]
NA activity measured by hydrolysis of 4-MUNANA to fluorescent 4-MU. Optimized conditions: 50 μg/mL substrate, 30 min reaction, pH 7.5, 25°C in PBS buffer. Fluorescence quantified at ex=365 nm/em=445 nm.
Paper sensor protocol: Test strips immersed in 4-MUNANA (50 μg/mL, 30 sec), reacted with NA. Fluorescence reduction under UV light (365 nm) indicated inhibition. [2]

Additional Infomation
4-MU-NANA (2’-(4-methylumbelliferyl)-α-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid) is a synthetic fluorescent substrate for neuraminidase (NA) activity assays. Hydrolysis by NA releases 4-methylumbelliferone, enabling quantitative measurement of enzyme efficiency via fluorescence.
In this study, 4-MU-NANA was critical for demonstrating low NA activity in the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus, which contributed to a functional HA-NA balance essential for human transmission. [1]
4-MUNANA (4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid) is a fluorogenic substrate for neuraminidase (NA). Hydrolysis releases 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU), enabling real-time NA activity monitoring.
Integrated with magnetic affinity chromatography for high-throughput inhibitor screening from herbal complexes. Method validated with zanamivir (positive control, IC50 = 79.52 μM).

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.0433 mL 10.2164 mL 20.4328 mL
5 mM 0.4087 mL 2.0433 mL 4.0866 mL
10 mM 0.2043 mL 1.0216 mL 2.0433 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
