The use of 5-aminolevulinic acid and its derivatives in photodynamic therapy and diagnosis [PDF]
5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is used as a drug in the photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) of cancer. Combined with irradiation at the appropriate wavelength, it is used as a photosensitizer precursor to identify/kill tumour cells.

5‐Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase [PDF]
The thiophilic reagent 5,5′‐dithiobis(2‐nitrobenzoic acid) (Nbs2) reacts with four sulphydryl groups in native 5‐aminolevulinic acid dehydratase from bovine liver (groups I, II, III and IV). All four of these groups exhibit various degrees of half‐site reactivity.

5‐Aminolevulinic acid‐based photodynamic therapy [PDF]
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer patients has developed into an important new clinical treatment modality in the past 25-years. PDT involves administration of a tumor-localizing photosensitizer or photosensitizer prodrug (5-aminolevulinic acid [ALA], a precursor in the heme biosynthetic pathway) and the subsequent activation of the photosensitizer

5-Aminolevulinic Acid and Red Led in Endodontics: A Narrative Review and Case Report
The present study aims to discuss the main factors involving the use of 5-aminolevulinic acid together with red LED light and its application in endodontic treatment through a narrative review and a case report. Persistence of microorganisms remaining on

5-Aminolevulinic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli [PDF]
A hemA mutant of Escherichia coli containing a multicopy plasmid which complemented the mutation excreted 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) into the medium. [1-14C]glutamate was substantially incorporated into ALA by this strain, whereas [2-14C]glycine was not. Periodate degradation of labeled ALA showed that C-5 of ALA was derived from C-1 of glutamate. The

Photodynamic therapy in the treatment of extramammary paget’s disease
Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare tumor that predominantly affects the skin containing apocrine glands. Due to insufficient data on the effectiveness of different methods, there is no single therapeutic approach to the treatment of patients ...

Beef‐Liver 5‐Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase [PDF]
Beef liver 5‐aminolevulinate dehydratase was purified 700‐fold by salt fractionation, heat treatment, gel filtration and ion‐exchange chromatography. The final product was homogeneous by electrophoretic, ultracentrifugal and immunological criteria and had a molecular weight, by the low‐speed equilibrium method, of 260000.

Transurethral resection and surveillance of bladder cancer supported by 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced fluorescence endoscopy [PDF]
Purpose: We determined whether neoplastic disease, which was missed under white light can be found during transurethral resection of bladder cancer by 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced porphyrin fluorescence.
