A comparative experimental study of the specific activity of drugs based on 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and its hexyl ester (5-ALA HE) was carried out. Their ability to induce the synthesis of photoactive protoporphyrin IX in the healthy tissues of the rabbit bladder when instilling the drug solutions at various concentrations has been estimated. It was shown that 5-ALA HE results in the induction and accumulation of PPIX in the rabbit bladder epithelium at much lower concentrations than 5-ALA. Thus, a significant increase in the fluorescence intensity in comparison with the control was achieved by instillation of 5-ALA HE solution in the rabbit’ bladder at a concentration of only 0.0001% (fluorescence intensity 2.20±0.60 a.u.), and for 5-ALA – only when using a solution at a concentration of 0.3% (fluorescence intensity 2.60±1.02 a.u.).

By applying the confocal fluorescence microscopy, we investigated the dynamics of the synthesis and accumulation of protoporphyrin IX induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) in three cell lines: malignant - human epithelial carcinoma HeLa and human lung adenocarcinoma A549 - and fibroblast-like immortalized mouse embryonic 3T3 cells. The accumulation of protoporphyrin IX in cell cultures was evaluated based on the analysis of its fluorescence intensity. The dynamics of changes in fluorescence intensity was studied depending upon the duration of cells incubation with 5-ALA and its concentration.

The hexyl ester of 5-aminolevulinic acid (HAL) is an efficient inducer of the endogenous photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) in neoplastic tissue and approved for the fluorescence photodetection of bladder cancer. It is, however, limited to topical application due to unsuitable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties following systemic administration. In this study we sought to prepare HAL laden polymeric nanoparticles made from polylactic acid (PLA) as possible means to improve the systemic bioavailability of HAL. Nanoparticles were prepared by nanoprecipitation. Particle size and morphology of freshly prepared and dehydrated nanoparticles were assessed and the ability to generate PPIX fluorescence was tested on a T24 human bladder carcinoma cell line. Fluorescence intensities of cells incubated with nanoencapsulated HAL were significantly higher than in presence of free HAL. Interestingly, the effect was — at least partly — provoked by the direct interaction of exogenously induced PPIX with the nanoparticles.
