Doxorubicin is a photocatalyst for the generation of H2O2
2012
We have investigated the photoreactivity of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin. We demonstrate the ability of this compound to generate H2O2 catalytically as a result of auto-oxidation of its photoreduced form. H2O2 may accumulate in toxic levels in pharmaceutical preparations.
