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
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
