Journal ArticleDOI
The stability of 5-aminolevulinic acid in solution.
TL;DR: It is likely, therefore, that several chemical pathways contribute to the breakdown of dissolved ALA at physiological pH, and temperature studies of the formation kinetics of the UV absorbing product indicate that a complex formation process is involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Temperature Dependence of Protoporphyrin IX Production in Cells and Tissues
TL;DR: The formation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in human skin during topical application of 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was found to be strongly temperature dependent, with an activation energy of about 17 kcal/mol suggesting that this enzyme might represent a rate‐limiting step for PpIX production in living tissue.
