Lumichrome (7,8-Dimethylalloxazine) is a natural metabolite of riboflavin. It is a flourescent photoproduct of riboflavin degradation. It is known to be an effective photosensitizer and a fluorescent dye.
Application
Lumichrome is suitable as a fluorescence probe, metal ion sensor, and may be used for the inactivation of biological contaminants. Its applications are also seen in memory and semiconductor devices.

The dynamic balance between bone resorption and bone formation is crucial to maintain bone mass. Osteoclasts are key cells that perform bone resorption while osteoblasts and osteocytes function in bone formation. Osteoporosis, a bone metabolism disease characterized by bone loss

Lumichrome (L) and melamine (M) produce thermoreversible hydrogels in LM31 and LM11 compositions, but LM13 composition does not produce hydrogel (the numbers indicate the respective molar ratio of the components). The formation of thermoreversible gels is confirmed from morphology, DSC

We report on photophysical studies of lumichrome (Lc) in water at different pHs, and interacting with the human serum albumin (HSA) protein and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in neutral aqueous solutions. We used steady-state and picosecond time-resolved emission spectroscopy to investigate the
Many bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) as an intercellular signaling mechanism to regulate gene expression in local populations. Plant and algal hosts, in turn, secrete compounds that mimic bacterial QS signals, allowing these hosts to manipulate QS-regulated gene expression in

The spectroscopic behavior of lumichrome (7,8-dimethyl-alloxazine, LC) in aqueous solutions in a pH range from -1.08 to 14.6 is studied. Absorption spectra, fluorescence quantum distributions, quantum yields, and lifetimes are determined. The ionization stage of ground-state LC changes with rising
