Photodegradation of famoxadone in various solvents
The photodegradation of famoxadone in various solvents under two different light sources was studied.The direct photodegradation rate of famoxadone in aqueous solution by sunlight was slow,the half-life was 51.7 h,while it was quickly photodegraded under HPML irradiation.In methanol,acetonitrile,isopropyl alcohol,the half-lives were 1.70,1.36 and 1.83 min,respectively.The photolytic rate of famoxadone increased with the increase of solution pH.
