Direct evidence of singlet molecular oxygen [O2 (1Δg)] production from UVA excited 6‐thioguanine

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
6‐Thioguanine (6‐TGua) is incorporated into DNA as a purine analogue, inhibiting cell replication. Patients treated with 6‐TGua are more prone to developing skin cancer due to the photoexcitation of 6‐TGua by UVA radiation (as illustrated in the Jablonski diagram). Upon exposure to UVA, the excited 6‐TGua generates 1O2.
