Multifunctional acyloxyalkyl ester prodrugs of 5-aminolevulinic acid in cancer cell lines inhibited the proteasome and induced apoptosis and heme synthesis. The most potent prodrug was butyryloxymethyl 5-amino-4-oxopentanoate (1a). The metabolically released formaldehyde from the prodrugs was the dominant factor affecting
