Wavelengths encompassing UVA and UVB ranges are indicated in boxes. Absorption spectra for the drugs were obtained using a Beckman DU-500 spectrophotometer while the emission spectra were recorded on a SpectraMax Gemini fluorometer with an excitation wavelength of 255 nm and slit widths of 1.5 nm and a scan rate of 1 nm/s. The plotted data is the average of 50 consecutive spectra.
