Phototoxicity is of increasing concern in dermatology, since modern lifestyle is often associated with exposure to sunlight. The most commonly reported process is via oxidative reactions. Therefore characterizing the ‘‘photo-pro-oxidant” potential of a compound early in its industrial development is
