Translational Evaluation of a Dodecaborated Albumin Conjugate With Maleimide as a Boron Delivery System for a Neutron Capture Reaction to an F98 Rat Glioma Model
Abstract:Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a biologically targeted, cell-selective particle irradiation therapy that utilizes the nuclear capture reaction of boron and neutron. Recently, accelerator neutron generators have been used in clinical settings, and expectations for developing new boron compounds are growing. In this study, we focused on serum albumin, a well-known drug delivery system, and developed maleimide-functionalized closo-dodecaborate albumin conjugate (MID-AC) as a boron carrying system for BNC… Show more
