Specific Killing Effect of 10B1-Para-boronophenylalanine in Thermal Neutron Capture Therapy of Malignant Melanoma: In Vitro Radiobiological Evaluation [PDF]
A 10B-dopa analogue, 10B1-para-boronophenylalanine (10B1-BPA) has been found to have a marked melanoma killing effect as expressed by the Do value, 0.9−1.2 × 1012 n/cm2. The Do value of the neutron alone is 2.8 × 1012 n/cm2.After the introduction of high

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of α-methyl-p-boronophenylalanine [PDF]
p-Boronophenylalanine (l-BPA) is applied in clinical settings as a boron carrier for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) to cure malignant melanomas. Structural modification or derivatization of l-BPA, however, to improve its uptake efficiency into tumor cells has scarcely been investigated. We successfully synthesized (S)-2-amino-3-(4-boronophenyl)-2-

The basis and advances in clinical application of boron neutron capture therapy
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) was first proposed as early as 1936, and research on BNCT has progressed relatively slowly but steadily. BNCT is a potentially useful tool for cancer treatment that selectively damages cancer cells while sparing ...

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a selective radiotherapy based on nuclear reaction that occurs when 10B atoms accumulated in cancer cells are irradiated by thermal neutrons, triggering a nuclear fission response leading to cell death. Despite its

Effect of bevacizumab treatment on p-boronophenylalanine distribution in murine tumor [PDF]
Previous studies have demonstrated that angiogenesis inhibitors can enhance tumor inhibitory effects of chemo- and radiotherapy via their action on tumor vessels. Here, we studied the effect of the angiogenesis inhibitor, bevacizumab (Avastin), on boron distribution in a murine tumor model.

Overview of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: a Medical Aspect
Cancer is an abnormal growth of a cell due to the cell’s inability to control and maintain its proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis cycle. There are several methods to treat cancer; one of which is boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).
