Protoporphyrin IX (Pp IX) is the main photosensitizer in photochemotherapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Pp IX is photolabile and the present work shows that 70-95% of Pp IX in cells is degraded by clinically relevant light exposures (40-200 J cm 22 at 630 nm). During light exposure a small yiel
The bioconversion of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) into hydrophobic protoporphyrin IX and other water-soluble porphyrins was investigated in Ehrlich ascite carcinoma (EAC) cells and in a myeloma cell line. The effects of irradiation (514 nm), temperature, incubation time and added glucose on the relat
Human colon adenocarcinoma cells (WiDr) and Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts cells (V79) were incubated with different concentrations of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), and the production of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) was studied using several techniques. The amount of PpIX produced per cell increased wi
The stimulation of protoporphyrin (PP) biosynthesis in 816 melanoma cells in order to facilitate photodynamic cell killing was studied. Biosynthesis and accumulation of PP in the melanoma cells was increased from 8 to 15 pmol/mg protein by the use of dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO), a diflerentiation-indu
