  • Liposome compositions for boron neutron capture therapy and methods thereof
    Patent number: 5888473
    Abstract: Boron neutron capture therapy can utilize X.sub.y B.sub.20 H.sub.17 L where X is an alkali metal, y is 1 to 4, and L is a two electron donor such as NH.sub.3, and Na.sub.2 B.sub.10 H.sub.9 NCO, among others. These borane salts may be used free or encapsulated in liposomes. Liposomes may have embedded within their bilayers carboranes to increase the amount of delivered .sup.10 B and/or to increase the tumor specificity of the liposome.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 1995
    Date of Patent: March 30, 1999
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: M. Frederick Hawthorne, Debra Arliene Feakes, Kenneth John Shelly
