The photochemistry of norharmane (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole) in acidic (pH 5.0+/-0.1) and alkaline (pH 10.0+/-0.1) aqueous solutions was studied. The photochemical reactions were monitored by TLC, UV/VIS absorption spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), electronic ionization-mass spectrometry (EI-MS), UV-laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry
Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are potent mutagens/carcinogens to which humans are frequently exposed through the consumption of cooked meat and fish food. The effect of normal intake of HCAs and their role in the aetiology of human cancer is unknown. To

The presence of cyclodextrins (CDs) in the mobile phase alters the chromatographic equilibria and induces a secondary chemical equilibrium associated to the chromatographic separation by HPLC. In this study the influence of the presence of CDs in the mobile phase
UV-A radiation (320-400 nm) induces damages to the DNA molecule and its components through photosensitized reactions. Beta-carbolines (betaCs), heterocyclic compounds widespread in biological systems, participate in several biological processes and are able to act as photosensitizers. The photosensitization of plasmidic
