Factors affecting aminolaevulinic acid-induced generation of protoporphyrin IX.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) may cause tumour cell destruction by direct toxicity or by inducing cellular hypoxia as a result of microcirculatory shutdown. Aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) causes cellular accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) in cells exposed to it in excess. PPIX can be used as a photos...
