The photosensitizing activity of lumazine using 2′-deoxyguanosine 5′-monophosphate and HeLa cells as targets
Lumazines are an important family of heterocyclic compounds present in biological systems as biosynthetic precursors and/or products of metabolic degradation. Upon UV irradiation, the specific compound called lumazine (pteridine-2,4(1,3H)-dione) is able to generate singlet oxygen ( 1O2), which is on...

Lumazines are an important family of heterocyclic compounds present in biological systems as biosynthetic precursors and/or products of metabolic degradation. Upon UV irradiation, the specific compound called lumazine (pteridine-2,4(1,3H)-dione) is able to generate singlet oxygen ( 1O2), which is one of the main chemical species responsible for photodynamic effects. To further assess the photosensitizing capability of lumazine (Lum) experiments were performed using the nucleotide 2′-deoxyguanosine 5′-monophosphate (dGMP) and, independently, cervical cancer cells (HeLa cell line) as targets. In the dGMP experiments, the data revealed that dGMP indeed undergoes oxidation/oxygenation photoinduced by Lum.
