Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Experiment I:
After UVB-irradiation of PR 22 in solvents the decomposition products 2-methyl-5-nitroaniline (2,5 -MNA), 4 -nitrotoluene (4 -NT) were detectable. After sunlight exposure either 2,5 -MNA and 4 -NT or neither pigment nor decomposition products were detectable, depending on the solvent used. These data indicate that sunlight can cause complete mineralization.
Experiment II:
Pigment reduction during 42 days was about
- 32% in untreated skin;
- 60% in solar light treated skin;
- 51% in laser treated skin.
In laser treated skin 2-methyl-5-nitroaniline (2,5 -MNA), 4 -nitrotoluene (4 -NT) and naphtol AS (NAS) were detectable as decomposition products. The authors calculated that about 8% of decomposed PR 22 was directly detected as 2,5 -MNA and 4 -NT.
In solar light treated skin no 2,5 -MNA and 4 -NT products were detectable.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In vitro and in vivo investigations revealed that Pigment Red 22 can be decomposed by laser and sunlight.
