5 Aminolevulinic Acid(also dALA, δ-ALA, or 5ala) is the first compound in the porphyrin synthesis pathway, the pathway that leads to heme in mammals and chlorophyll in plants.

In plants, production of δ-ALA is the step on which the speed of synthesis of chlorophyll is regulated. Plants that are fed by external δ-ALA accumulate toxic amounts of chlorophyll precursor, protochlorophyllide, indicating that the synthesis of this intermediate is not suppressed anywhere downwards in the chain of reaction. Protochlorophyllide is a strong photosensitizer in plants.

1. Agriculture: Used as a photosensitizer to enhance the photosynthetic efficiency of crops, promoting growth and increasing yield.
2. Biomedicine: Employed in photodynamic therapy (PDT) to target and destroy cancer cells, utilizing its ability to accumulate in abnormal tissues and generate reactive oxygen species upon light exposure.
3. Cosmetics: As an active ingredient in skin brightening products, it aids in reducing skin pigmentation and evening skin tone.
4. Fluorescence Imaging: Utilized in research to label and visualize cells and tissues due to its fluorescent properties under certain wavelengths of light.
5. Diagnostics: Potential application in the early detection of diseases through its fluorescence enhancement in pathological tissues.

1. Photosensitizer: Enhances the sensitivity of cells to light, enabling photochemical reactions that would otherwise be inefficient or non-existent.
2. Precursor in Heme Biosynthesis: Acts as a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of heme, an essential component of hemoglobin, myoglobin, and various enzymes.
3. Selective Accumulation: Naturally accumulates in rapidly dividing or metabolically active cells, making it useful for targeted therapies.
4. Fluorescence Marker: Exhibits fluorescence properties, allowing for its use as a non-invasive tracking tool in biological systems.
5. Antimicrobial Activity: Under certain conditions, can exhibit antimicrobial effects against certain microorganisms.
