Description: | Methyl Aminolevulinate Hydrochloride is the methyl ester of Aminolevulinic Acid, which is a precursor of a photosensitizer and also is used as an add on agent for photodynamic therapy. It shows much higher lipophilicity and highly efficient at inducing protoporphyrin IXproduction in cell culture. |
Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
