δ-Aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride is the universal precursor of tetrapyrroles, such as chlorophyll and heme.
δ-Aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride is used in the synthesis of hemes, vitamin B12 and bacteriochlorophyll. It is used in porphyrin biosynthesis studies. It enhances chlorophyll formation and may be used as a photodynamic herbicide is a precursor of tetrapyrroles in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and heme.
5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is an intermediate in heme biosynthesis and is being studied as an inducing reagent for protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) dependent fluorescence diagnosis of metastatic lymph nodes. 5-ALA is used for photodynamic therapy of diseases such as Paget’s disease and HPV infection-associated cervical condylomata acuminata.
