Introduction Phenothiazines when exposed to white light or UV radiation undergo a variety of reactions that result in degradation parental compound and formation new species. This process is slow may be sped up with exposure high energy such as produced by laser. Methods Varying concentrations Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride (CPZ) (2–20 mg/mL distilled water) were 266 nm laser beam (time intervals: 1–24 hrs). At distinct intervals the irradiation products evaluated spectrophotometry between...

In a series of experiments devoted to the study polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for astrophysical applications, S2←S0 transition jet-cooled pyrene (C16H10) at 321 nm has been studied by an absorption technique first time. The spectra observed cavity ring-down spectroscopy closely resemble excitation obtained earlier laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and show same band clusters arising from vibronic interaction S2 with S1. We have also investigated when it was incorporated into 380 mK cold...

Whereas exposure of combinations a phenothiazine and bacterium to incoherent UV increases the activity phenothiazine, alone does not yield an increase its activity. Because laser beam energy is greater than that produced by sources, phenothiazines specific lasers may molecules with altered activities over unexposed parent. Chlorpromazine, thioridazine promethazine active against bacteria were exposed two distinct for varying periods time. Absorption fluorescence spectra conducted prior...
