  • Porphyron based neuton capture agents for cancer therapy
    Publication number: 20040014737
    Abstract: The invention describes the synthesis of a panel of novel carbon-carbon linked carboranyl-containng 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrins bearing 25-44% boron by weight. Preliminary in vitro evaluation of several of these compounds, using both rat and human brain tumor cell lines, shows that these compounds display very low cytotoxicities, are capable of delivering substantial amounts of boron intracellularly, and are retained for long periods of time.
