ew Fuchsin (NF), also known as Magenta III, has potential applications in photodynamic therapy. The commercial product labeled NF contains two other dye components in different proportions, Magenta II and Magenta I (Rosaniline). The proportions of NF, Magenta II, and Magenta I determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) in the commercial sample used were 71.6±0.4%, 25.2 ± 0.2%, and 2.8 ± 0.1% (n = 7), respectively. The isolation, purification, and characterization of commercial NF dye components were carried out applying different techniques, such as preparative column liquid chromatography (PCLC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), RP-HPLC, absorption spectrophotometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and tandem electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS–MS). After separation and isolation, the degree of purity obtained for NF compound was higher than 95% and 92% f
