Abstract: In this paper, the photofading of magenta azomethine dye(MAD) were studied by HPLC, UV-Vis spectra.It was found that MADwas not a sensitizer but a good acceptor of active oxygen (1O2,O2-).The physical and chemical quenching rate constant of MADwith active oxygen was measured by HPLC, it is found that physical quenching is the chief pathway in the quenching process (KR=1.49×107 L/mol·s, KQ=7.01×107 L/mol·s) and singlet oxygen (1O2) plays a dominant role in the photofading of MADsensitized by Methylene Blue (MB) or Rose Bengal (RB),
