Tumor-localizing properties of porphyrins. In vitro studies using the porphyrin precursor, aminolevulinic acid, in free and liposome encapsulated forms
Tumor, liver, skin and brain explants from tumor-bearing mice were cultured for 6, 12 and 22 hours in the presence of 0.06, 0.1 and 0.2 mM aminolevulinic acid (ALA). It was found that in all organs, synthesis of porphyrins increased with time and ALA concentration. The synthesising activity of tumor...
