HIDE SMILES / InChI
Hexaminolevulinate is an optical imaging drug. In solution form, it is instilled intravesically for use with photodynamic blue light cystoscopy as an adjunct to white light cystoscopy. After bladder instillation, hexaminolevulinate enters the bladder mucosa and is proposed to enter the intracellular space of mucosal cells where it is used as a precursor in the formation of the photoactive intermediate protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and other photoactive porphyrins (PAPs). PpIX and PAPs are reported to accumulate preferentially in neoplastic cells as compared to normal urothelium, partly due to altered enzymatic activity in the neoplastic cells. In 2010, FDA granted approval for hexaminolevulinate hydrochloride as an optical imaging agent for cystoscopic detection of non-muscle invasive papillary cancer of the bladder for patients suspected or known to have lesion(s) on the basis of a prior cystoscopy.

Approved Use

Cysview is an optical imaging agent indicated for use in the cystoscopic detection of carcinoma of the bladder, including carcinoma in situ (CIS), among patients suspected or known to have lesion(s) on the basis of a prior cystoscopy, or in patients undergoing surveillance cystoscopy for carcinoma of the bladder. Cysview is used with the KARL STORZ D-Light C Photodynamic Diagnostic (PDD) system to perform Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLCTM) as an adjunct to the white light cystoscopy.

Sample Use Guides

50 mL of a reconstituted solution of hexaminolevulinate (final concentration 2mg/mL) is slowly instilled via an intravesical catheter into the emptied bladder; catheter may be a straight or intermittent urethral catheter with a proximal funnel opening to accommodate a luer lock adapter.
Route of Administration: Other
Porcine bladder was excised and stored at 4C in Tyrode solution. The urothelium was microdissected from the bladder wall using fine scissors, and 7x7 mm fragments were mounted in a transparent culture chamber designed for epithelia. The chamber was fixed on the plate of an epi-illumination microscope and thermostabilized at 36 C. Solution of hexaminolevulinate (HALA) was injected as a single dose into the upper chamber in phosphate buffer. Accumulation of the protoporphyrin IX was measured by fluorimetric microscopy.
