Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is an endogenous metabolite normally formed in the mitochondria
from succinyl-CoA and glycine. Conjugation of eight ALA molecules yields protoporphyrin IX …

Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a heme precursor that may have potential applications for
photodynamic detection and photodynamic therapy–based treatment of solid tumors in a …

5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is an amino acid derivative and a precursor of protoporphyrin
IX (PpIX). The photophysical feature of PpIX is clinically used in photodynamic diagnosis …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising non-invasive treatment modality for cancer and
can be potentiated by combination with chemotherapy. Here, we combined PDT of novel …

OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to investigate apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells
induced by methylene blue (MB)-mediated sonodynamic therapy (SDT). METHODS: The MB …

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of cell death by photodynamic
therapy (PDT) in the Rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell line. The present study evaluates the …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a two-stage treatment relying on cytotoxicity induced by
photoexcitation of a nontoxic dye, called photosensitizer (PS). Using 5-aminolevulinic acid …

aminolevulanic acid (ALA), belonging among the promising second generation of
sensitizers, was evaluated as an inducer of photodamage on HeLa (human cervical …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an alternative anticancer treatment in which direct tumor-cell
killing results from selective accumulation of photosensitizers in the tumor sites and …

The therapeutic and diagnostic modalities of light are well known, and derivative
photodynamic reactions with photosensitizers (PSs), specific wavelengths of light exposure …
