Fluorescence diagnostics of skin tumors using 5-aminolevulinic acid and its methyl ester
Objective. The incidence of malignant skin tumors is rapidly increasing. Early diagnosis, determining the margins of the tumor, is extremely important to achieve good treatment results. We investigated fluorescence of protoporphyrin IX in skin carcinomas.

The development of a novel tumor-targeting photosensitizer delivery system, with potential ability to selectively transport the photosensitizer prodrug 5-aminolevulinic acid methyl ester (MAL) into the tumor site has been herein described. Conjugation of MAL to folic acid (FA) via an unnatural ?-peptide linker has been carried out almost entirely by an

Iontophoretic delivery of 5-aminolevulinic acid and its methyl ester using a carbopol gel as vehicle
Journal of Controlled Release, 2004The aim of this study was to evaluate a Carbopol gel as a vehicle for iontophoretic delivery of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and its methyl ester (m-ALA). The formulation was characterized rheologically and the passive diffusion of ALA and m-ALA in the gels was measured.

Efficacy of a methyl ester of 5-aminolevulinic acid in photodynamic therapy for ovarian cancers
Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 2010Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new approach to cancer treatment that utilizes photochemical reactions induced by a combination of an oncophilic photosensitizing agent and laser light. With an aim to apply PDT for intraperitoneal disseminated foci of advanced or recurrent ovarian cancers, the present study was conducted to evaluate the antitumor effect

Influence of Light Exposure on the Kinetics of Protoporphyrin IX Formation in Normal Skin of Hairless Mice After Application of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Methyl Ester [PDF]
The rates of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) photodegradation and reappearance after light exposure at 420 and 632 nm were measured in mouse skin at different times after 1 h topical application of 5-aminolevulinic acid methyl ester (ALA-Me). After ALA-Me application (1 h) and removal, the fluorescence of PpIX increased for about 1 h, and then reached a ...

Practical Considerations in the Pharmaceutical Analysis of Methyl and Hexyl Ester Derivatives of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid [PDF]
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a water-soluble precursor of the potent endogenous photosensitiser, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), is a treatment and diagnostic tool for premalignant and malignant skin cancers. However, to improve drug delivery to deeper skin lesions, more lipophilic ALA esters have been investigated ...
