BF-200 (Ameluz) is a topical nanoemulsion gel containing 5-aminolevulinic acid, a precursor that is converted inside skin cells to the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX. Light of the proper wavelength activates protoporphyrin IX to generate singlet oxygen, causing local cytotoxicity. It is studied in photodynamic therapy for basal cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis.
