Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a compound of formula (I) in the manufacture of a pharmaceuticals composition for cell death by photo activation therapy and the use of the compounds in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new anti-cancer compounds and in particular to new compounds for use in nuclide activation therapy, such as neutron capture therapy. Specifically this invention provides a conjugate having the general formula P-(L-NAT)n wherein P represents an N-hydroxypropylmethacrylamide-methacrylate copolymer having a molecular weight of 5-6,000 kDa; NAT represents a nuclide activation therapy agent; L represents a linker moiety capable of linking the polymer to the neutron capture therapy agent; and n represents an integer from 1-1,000.

Abstract: Processes are disclosed for the preparation of a compound having the formula: (I) and intermediate compounds wherein M is a single-photon-emission tomography imageable radiometal and/or a paramagnetic metal, R is hydrogen or a halogen provided that at least one R is halogen and Y is selected from ortho, meta or para O(CH2)nC2HB9H10 or O(CH2)nC2HB10H10 wherein n is 0 or an integer from 1 to 20 and O(CH2)nC2HB9H10 is nido ortho-, meta- or para-carborane and O(CH2)nC2HB10H10 is ortho-, meta- or para-carborane.
