Endogenous protoporphyrin IX, a clinically useful photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy.

TL;DR: Preclinical studies in experimental animals and human volunteers indicate that ALA can induce a localized tissue-specific photosensitization if administered by intradermal injection, opening the possibility of using ALA-induced PpIX to treat tumors that are too thick or that lie too deep to be accessible to either topical or locally injected ALA.
