Background and Objective: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) for sensitization is a promising treatment for carcinoma in situ and diffuse premalignant changes of the bladder. We studied the biodistribution of PpIX in a range of tissues with
The objective of the present study was to determine if the concentration of protoporphyrin 1X (PplX) in the rat endometrium could be increased by administering 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in multiple doses or by continuous infusion. The effect of pH, temperature and time in solution on the stability
