Abstract
Abstract 2-Phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid (PBSA) is a water-soluble UV-B absorber used in cosmetic sunscreens. Riboflavin (RF) is a water-soluble vitamin B2. RF is an efficient singlet oxygen photosensitizer. The effects of PBSA on RF-photosensitized singlet oxygen generation have been studied through measurements of transient absorption and time-resolved near-IR phosphorescence in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). PBSA suppresses the RF-photosensitized singlet oxygen generation. The observed suppression can be ascribed to the quenching of the lowest excited triplet state of RF by PBSA.
