Protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) is a heterocyclic organic compound that is the last intermediate in
the heme biosynthetic pathway. PPIX, due to its photodynamic effects, is utilized in the …

Protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) is an intermediate in the heme biosynthesis pathway. Abnormal
accumulation of PPIX due to certain pathological conditions such as erythropoietic …

Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol (DPHC) is a marine polyphenolic compound derived from
brown alga Ishige okamurae. A previously study has suggested that DPHC possesses …

Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is an endogenous fluorescent molecule that selectively
accumulates in cancer cells treated with the heme precursor 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) …

Pinostrobin is a dietary flavonoid found in several plants that possesses pharmacological
properties, such as anti-cancer, anti-virus, antioxidant, anti-ulcer, and anti-aromatase effects …

Background Melanogenesis, or the biosynthesis of melanin, plays a critical role in the
pigmentation of skin, hair, and eyes. Reduced melanogenesis may lead to depigmentation …

Melanin provides inherent protection against skin cancer by absorbing broad‐spectrum
radiant energy of UV radiation. Cutaneous malignant melanoma incidence has recently …

The efficacy of aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based photodynamic diagnosis (5-ALA-PDD)
and photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) is dependent on 5-ALA-induced cancer-specific …

N-Methyl protoporphyrin IX (NmePPIX) is a derivative of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) and the
lattice of heme. Certain xenobiotics strongly induce NmePPIX production in the liver. The …

The level of endogenous photosensitiser, protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), can be enhanced in the
cells by 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). We investigated the effect of critical parameters such as …
