Abstract

Hydrolyzable substrates for acid and alkaline phosphatases comprise blocked dye moieties which, when cleaved from the substrate during hydrolysis, provide fluorescent dyes having maximum absorptions above about 530 nm and maximum fluorescent emissions at least about 580 nm. The dyes are blocked prior to hydrolysis with a phosphono or thioxophosphono group or a salt thereof. These substrates can be used in analytical determinations of acid or alkaline phosphatase, or in competitive binding reactions to determine immunologically reactive substances.
