A novel photoadduct of 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen (TMP) and adenosine was isolated and purified by reverse-phase liquid chromatography. The structure of the photoproduct was determined by various spectral methods and found to be a TMP-adenosine 1:1 adduct resulting from the covalent bond formation between the carbon C(4) of TMP and ribose 4'-carbon of adenosine.
