| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
5-ALA (aminolevulinic acid) is now becoming a useful probe for the detection of malignant tumor in patient. Exogenous administration of 5-ALA results in selective accumulation of a fluorescent metabolite, called protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), in cancer cells. However, the fluorescence detection of PpIX is sometimes perturbed by autofluorescence from the surrounding tissues and by the photobleaching of PpIX. In this study, we address these limitations of conventional scheme of PpIX detection by applying nonlinear Raman spectroscopy. We developed a nonlinear Raman spectroscopy system using white light continuum for simultaneous detection of nonlinear Raman spectrum. We also analyzed Raman spectroscopical signatures of 5-ALA and PpIX appeared in Raman spectra. Our findings provided a proof-of-principle demonstration of malignant tumor detection using 5-ALA based on molecular vibrational information.
