1. 5-Aminolevulinic acid and derivatives thereof : properties, lipid permeability and enzymatic reactions
Sammanfattning : 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and derivatives thereof are widely usedprodrugs in treatment of pre-malignant skin diseases of the cancer treatmentmethod photodynamic therapy (PDT). The target molecule in 5-ALAPDTis protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), which is synthesized endogenously from5-ALA via the heme pathway in the cell. LÄS MER
2. A theoretical study of 5-Aminolevulinic acid and its esters : properties and lipid permeability
Sammanfattning : 5-aminolevulinic acid (5ALA) is a widely used prodrug in Photodynamic therapy (PDT). The target molecule in 5ALA-PDT is Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), which is synthesized endogenously via the heme pathway in the cell. LÄS MER
3. Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Quantitative Demarcation of Glioblastoma Using 5-Aminolevulinic Acid
Sammanfattning : Total resection of glioblastoma, the highly malignant brain tumor, is difficult to accomplish due to its diffuse growth and similarity to the surrounding brain tissue. A total resection is proven to increase patient survival. LÄS MER
4. ALA and m-ALA in bicontinuous lipid formulations: -Characterization and Transdermal Delivery
Sammanfattning : δ-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and its methyl ester (m-ALA) are both used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of certain non melanoma skin cancers as the basal cell carcinoma (BCC). In PDT the cancer cells are destroyed by a photochemical reaction that occurs when a photosensitive molecule is irradiated with light of a certain wavelength. LÄS MER
5. New approaches for treatment of acute intermittent porphyria by enzyme substitution and gene therapy : evaluation in vitro and in vivo
Sammanfattning : Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare inborn metabolic error of heme synthesis in which the activity of the third enzyme, porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), is deficient. It is clinically characterized by acute, potentially life-threatening neurologic attacks that are precipitated by various drugs, reproductive hormones and other factors. LÄS MER
