Quantum yields of photodecomposition and triplet state formation under aerobic and anaerobic conditions are determined for kynurenine (KN), 3-hydroxykynurenine (3OHKN), xanthurenic acid (XAN), and kynurenine adducts of glutathione (GSH-KN), cysteine (Cys-KN), histidine (His-KN), and lysine (Lys-KN) in aqueous solutions. The highest yields of anaerobic photodecomposition were obtained for GSH-KN and His-KN adducts, which correlates with the highest triplet yields for these compounds. In aerobic conditions, the photodecomposition yields for all compounds under study increase; the highest decomposition rates were observed for His-KN and 3OHKN. The fast decomposition of the latter is attributed to the dark autoxidation of the starting compound.
