Abstract

We demonstrate the key role of singlet oxygen in photodegradation of folic acid on exposure to UVA radiation and with photosensitizing treatment. We propose possible uses for photosensitized degradation of folates to enhance the efficacy of photodynamic therapy and for development of a high-sensitivity photochemical method for determining folates in biological systems.
