Photochemical processes of drugs and dyes.
The physicochemical properties of light and their interaction with organic material are reviewed. The photochemical reactions of a selected number of organic structures are appraised with the intention of facilitating prediction of likely degradation products from irradiation of drugs, dyes and mixtures thereof with solar and artificial light. There is a brief assessment of the problems associated with photochemical spoilage and some suggested means of remedy.
