BACKGROUND In the diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer photosensitizer-enhanced fluorescence bronchoscopy with inhaled 5-aminolevolinic acid (5-ALA) increases sensitivity when compared to white-light bronchoscopy. This investigation was to evaluate the in vivo tissue pharmacokinetics of inhaled 5-ALA within the bronchial mucosa in order to define the time optimum for its application prior to br...

drought, withnegative impacts on plant growth and development, isa major abiotic stress. in order to decreasing drought stress injuries and recognizing red peppers tolerance physiology against drought stress in greenhouse conditions, an experiment with three levels of drought stress (irrigation at 100, 60 and 30% of field capacity) and four concentrations of 5-aminolevolinic acid ((ala; 0, 0.25...

5-aminosalicylic acid (5-asa) is currently prepared by electrochemical reduction of 5-nitrosalicylic acid (5-nsa) in acidic media. in this work, electrolytic reduction of 5-nsa in alkaline media is presented. reactionconditions and parameters such as anode and cathode electrodes, electrolyte type, reaction time, temperature,current, and the ph for isolation of product are investigated. the yiel...

Introduction: The most important limitation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the efficacy of the cells in converting 5-ALA to protoporphyrin IX. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the photosensitivity at the surface plasmon resonance wavelength on 5-ALA-mediated PDT. Material and Methods: First of a...
