Chemical Structure
Methyl aminolevulinate hydrochloride
- CAS No.: 79416-27-6
- Formula:C6H12ClNO3
- Molecular Weight:181.62
IUPAC Name: methyl 5-amino-4-oxopentanoate hydrochloride
InChIKey: UJYSYPVQHFNBML-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: O=C(OC)CCC(CN)=O.[H]Cl
Biological Activity: Methyl aminolevulinate hydrochloride is a sensitizer used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Methyl aminolevulinate hydrochloride penetrates the skin and induces the production of photoactive porphyrins including protoporphyrin IX in cells; upon exposure to appropriate light, it generates ROS, which triggers cellular oxidation and cell death. Methyl aminolevulinate hydrochloride acts as a photo-damage reversing agent through epidermal reconstruction, cytokine-mediated activation of dermal fibroblasts, elastin breakdown, new collagen formation, and compression of dilated capillaries. Methyl aminolevulinate hydrochloride reduces the expression of the proliferation marker Ki-67 and the early skin carcinogenesis marker TP53. Methyl aminolevulinate hydrochloride delays the onset of ultraviolet-induced skin tumors and reduces tumor burden in hairless mice. Methyl aminolevulinate hydrochloride is applicable to research related to actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma[1][2].
