  • ANTICANCER AGENT, PRODRUG OF ANTICANCER AGENT, METHOD FOR KILLING CANCER CELL IN VITRO, CANCER TREATEMENT METHOD, AND CANCER TREATMENT DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240424103
    Abstract: Provided is an anticancer agent containing a substance that contains nitrogen-15 and that specifically accumulates in a cancer cell. Also provided is a method for killing a cancer cell in vitro, including accumulating nitrogen-15 in a cancer cell in vitro and irradiating the cancer cell with a proton beam in vitro. Additionally provided is a cancer treatment method including causing an accumulation of the nitrogen-15 in a cancer cell in a human or a nonhuman animal and irradiating the human or the nonhuman animal with a proton beam.

  • ARTIFICIAL GENE AND METHOD FOR MUTATING GENE
    Publication number: 20220298499
    Abstract: An artificial gene has a 15N abundance exceeding a natural abundance in bases of at least a portion of DNA. A method for mutating a gene includes a first step of producing a state in which 15N is unevenly distributed into a prescribed DNA in a living cell; and a second step of irradiation with a proton beam at an energy at which the 15N produces a resonant nuclear reaction.
