In vitro study | 5-ALA benzyl ester hydrochloride (Benzyl-ALA hydrochloride) (0.6-0.12 mM; 3 h) induces protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) accumulation in colon carcinoma cell lines SW480. |
biological activity | 5-ALA benzyl ester hydrozolide is a protoporphyrin precursor used as a photodetector. 5-ALA benzyl ester hydrochloride induces the accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) in colon cancer cell lines. |
Animal Model: | Female CBA/Gy mouse (CaNT tumour model) |
Dosage: | 31 mg/kg |
Administration: | i.v. ; 1 hours |
Result: | Reducing the dose of 5-ALA benzyl ester hydrochloride resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in the concentration of porphyrins accumulating in the CaNT tumour. |
