Application

5-Aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride has been used as a supplement for culturing Escherichia coli cells for heme biosynthesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) may interact with several transporters such as glutamate, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), di-, tri-peptides, and organic transporters in the blood-brain barrier. It may also act as a precursor for the synthesis of porphyrins in chlorophyll and hemes. 5-ALA exhibits plant growth regulator activities.
Intermediate in heme biosynthesis.

Daylight-mediated photodynamic therapy (DL-PDT) using methyl-5-aminolaevulinate (MAL) is effective for thin, grade I, actinic keratoses (AK). There are no published studies of other photosensitizers used in DL-PDT. To compare the efficacy and adverse effects of 5-aminolaevulinic acid nanoemulsion (BF-200 ALA)

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is useful for superficial skin tumors such as actinic keratosis and Bowen disease. Although PDT is non-surgical and easily-performed treatment modality, irradiation apparatus is large and expensive.
