Neutron capture therapy with a new boron-porphyrin compound in the rat 9L glioma model.

چکیده
Neutron capture therapy with a new boron-porphyrin compound was tested in a rat brain tumor model. Although the concentration of boron in the tumor was too low to elicit a therapeutic effect, prominent histopathologic changes, such as necrosis, congestion and bleeding were observed in the tumors of the rats which were administered the boron neutron capture therapy.

Quantitative imaging and microlocalization of boron-10 in brain tumors and infiltrating tumor cells by SIMS ion microscopy: relevance to neutron capture therapy.
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is dependent on the selective accumulation of boron-10 in tumor cells relative to the contiguous normal cells. Ion microscopy was used to evaluate the microdistribution of boron-10 from p-boronophenylalanine (BPA) in the 9L rat gliosarcoma and the F98 rat glioma brain tumor models. Four routes of BPA administration were used: i.p. injection, intracarotid (i....
متن کاملSelective tumor kill of cerebral glioma by photodynamic therapy using a boronated porphyrin photosensitizer.
The prognosis for patients with the high-grade cerebral glioma glioblastoma multiforme is poor. The median survival for primary tumors is < 12 months, with most recurring at the site of the original tumor, indicating that a more aggressive local therapy is required to eradicate the unresectable "nests" of tumor cells invading into adjacent brain. Two adjuvant therapies with the potential to des...

beta-5-o-Carboranyl-2'-deoxyuridine (D-CDU) is a nontoxic pyrimidine nucleoside analogue designed for boron neutron capture therapy of brain tumors. In vitro studies indicated that D-CDU accumulates to levels 92- and 117-fold higher than the extracellular concentration in rat 9L and human U-251 glioma cells, respectively, and persists for several hours at levels 5-fold higher than the extracell...

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an effective clinical method in cancer treatment based on fission reactions and nuclear capturing. In this method, use of the best boron-containing agents for boron therapy and boron delivery agent for transfer to the infectious site are the key points for efficienct treatment. Our research indicated that calcium fructoborate(CF) was the best compound as...
