  • Sterilized 5-aminolevulinic acid
    Patent number: 6335465
    Abstract: Colored 5-aminolevulinic acid crystals useful for photodynamic therapy Eire disclosed. Preferably the colored 5-aminolevulinic acid crystals have the color imparted by irradiation of the crystals, such as gamma radiation. The colored ALA crystals are preferably pharmaceutically pure and sterile and can be contained in a sealed sterile container. Also disclosed is sterile aqueous ALA solution which includes the colored ALA crystals contained in water. Also disclosed is a method for preparing colored ALA crystals which includes exposing non-irradiated ALA crystals to a radiation source at a dose sufficient impart a color which is different than any color present in the non-irradiated crystals. Preferably the irradiation is sufficient to sterilize the ALA crystals.

  • Method and apparatus for applying 5-aminolevulinic acid
    Patent number: 5954703
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for storing, mixing and applying ALA as a treatment for lesions. The apparatus comprises a deformable container enclosing a hermetically sealed compartment of essentially anhydrous ALA which is shielded from exposure to air and moisture, and a liquid diluent. The liquid diluent may be in a second compartment. The deformable container is squeezed to crush the compartments and mix the essentially anhydrous ALA with the liquid diluent. The ALA may be delivered from the deformable container through a point applicator for controlling and precisely directing the application during treatment.

  • Method and composition for treating bronchospastic airway diseases
    Patent number: 4689213
    Abstract: Bronchospastic diseases characterized by airway hyperreactivity are treated by administration of the calcium channel blocker gallopamil. Unlike other calcium channel blockers, the effective dose of gallopamil is small enough that undesirable side effects are not present.
