Description

5-Aminolevulinic acid methyl ester hydrochloride is a molecule that is part of the aminolevulinic acid (ALA) pathway, a series of reactions that produce heme. It has been shown to have anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo, as well as anti-inflammatory properties. 5-Aminolevulinic acid methyl ester hydrochloride is not very bioavailable due to its low solubility in water, which may be due to the presence of an ester group. Clinical studies are ongoing to determine the best dosage regimen for this drug.
