Hexaminolevulinate Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of a hexyl ester derivative of 5-aminolevulinic acid, a precursor in heme biosynthesis. It acts as a photosensitizer by selectively inducing accumulation of photoactive porphyrins, particularly protoporphyrin IX, in rapidly proliferating cells like tumor tissue.
