General description

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.

HPLC-DAD-MS/MS chromatograms of thistle (Galactites tomentosa Moench) unifloral honeys, previously selected by sensory evaluation and melissopalynological analysis, showed high levels of two compounds. One was characterized as phenyllactic acid, a common acid found in honeys, but the other compound was

Lumichrome photophysical properties at different pH were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques, in four forms of protonation/deprotonation: neutral form, two monoanions, and dianion. The excited-state lifetimes of these forms of lumichrome were measured and discussed.

Riboflavin (vitamin B(2)) and its metabolite lumichrome were quantified in 117 samples from 11 unifloral honeys types (Arbutus unedo L., Asphodelus microcarpus Salzm. et Viv., Citrus spp., Eucalyptus spp., Hedysarum coronarium L., Castanea sativa L. honeydew, Mentha spp., Paliurus spina-christi.

Fluorescence solvatochromism of lumichrome (LC) was studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The excited-state properties of LC do not show any correlation with solvent polarity, however, reasonably good correlation with solvent E(T)(30) parameter was observed. A quantitative estimation of
