Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising tumor therapy which utilizes reactive oxygen species (ROSs) to cause tumor cells death. 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and two of its esters are FDA-approved photosensitizers. However, their clinical application suffers from their instability and lack of tumor selectivity. In addition, the overexpression of glutathione (GSH) in some tumor cells reduces the PDT efficiency due to the ROS-scavenging ability of GSH. In this work, we present three multifunctional ALA derivates with the characteristics
