Photoluminescence as a Complementary Tool for UV-VIS Spectroscopy to Highlight the Photodegradation of Drugs: A Case Study on Melatonin

In this work, a complementary ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) study on melatonin (MEL) hydrolysis in the presence of alkaline aqueous solutions and the photodegradation of MEL is reported. The UV-VIS spectrum of MEL is characterized by an absorption band with a p...
