Photochemical destruction of the virucidal activities of retinoids and unsaturated fatty acids

J A Sands. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1981 Nov.

Abstract

Photochemical damage either to retinoids by near-ultraviolet radiation or to unsaturated fatty acids by near-ultraviolet radiation in the presence of a hydrophobic photosensitizer destroys the virucidal activities of the compounds, as determined by studies on the enveloped bacteriophage ø6.
