Abstract
Spectrophotometric and fluorescent (FL) methods have been used to study solutions of N-methyl derivatives of 5-fluorouracil (FU): 1-methyl-5-fluorouracil (1M-FU), 3-methyl-5-fluorouracil (3M-FU), and 1,3-dimethyl-5-fluorouracil (1,3DM-FU) in neutral (pH 6.8) and alkaline (pH 11) aqueous media. Fluorescence parameters, such as FL spectrum and quantum yield (φ), of 1M-FU, 3M-FU, 1,3DM-FU, and their anionic forms were recorded for the first time. Bathofluoric shifts in the FL maxima and an increase in the FL quantum yields of these compounds compared to unsubstituted FU at pH 6.8 and pH 11 have been observed. Interpretation of the revealed features is presented.
