Hexaminolevulinate Hydrochloride
This is the hydrochloride salt form of hexaminolevulinate, a photosensitizing diagnostic agent used to enhance the detection of bladder cancer during fluorescence cystoscopy. Cancer cells absorb and metabolize it more actively than normal cells, making them fluoresce under special blue light. The hydrochloride salt form ensures solubility for bladder instillation.
