Disease relevance of boron

  • The application of boron neutron capture therapy to rheumatoid arthritis requires the selective delivery of the boron-10 isotope to the synovitic tissue [1].
  • Ion microscopy revealed a consistent pattern of boron-10 microdistribution for both rat brain tumor models [2].
  • One hour after a 2-h i.v. infusion of BPA in rats with the 9L gliosarcoma, tumor boron-10 concentrations were 2.7 times higher than that of infiltrating tumor cells [83 +/- 23 microg/g tissue versus 31 +/- 12 microg/g tissue (mean +/- SD)] [2].
  • In three cases, boron-10 was identified in glioblastoma cells by laser microprobe mass analysis [3].
  • The boron-10 concentration and the tumor:blood concentration ratio in large and medium-sized gliomas were adequate for successful BNCT [4].
 

High impact information on boron

 

Chemical compound and disease context of boron

  • Now the boron-10 glycineamide analog (A8), amineboryl-carboxamide has been synthesized; it contains 13.81% boron (90% Boron 10 + 10% Boron 11) and shows a very low toxicity in mice [10].
 

Biological context of boron

  • The biological effect of this thermalized component on cells "tagged" with boron-10 (10B) is modeled mathematically and the expected change in cell survival calculated [11].
  • The relative biological effectiveness (r.b.e.), expressed as the Do ratio, increased from 2.2 +/- 0.1 for the control without boron-10 to 5.4 +/- 0.3 in the medium containing 0.9 mM boron-10 [12].
  • The distribution of boron-10 also varied, correlating to capillary permeability [4].
  • To optimize the neutron dose for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), the boron-10 (10B) concentration kinetics of 10B-p-boronophenylalanine (BPA) were analysed in 22 melanoma patients with primary or metastatic melanomas who received BPA and subsequently underwent BNCT or surgery [13].
  • However, precise and accurate measurements of boron-10 concentrations (0.1-100 microg/g) in specimens and samples of limited size (microg scale) are needed in order to be able to biologically characterise new compounds in predictive tissue dosimetry, toxicology and pharmacology studies as well as in clinical investigations [14].
 

Anatomical context of boron

  • Three doses of BPA 700, 1000 and 1600 mg kg(-1) were used to establish the biodistribution of boron-10 (10B) in blood, spinal cord and brain over a 3-h period after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration [15].
  • Analytical calculation of boron- 10 dosage in cell nucleus for neutron capture therapy [16].
  • The present study addressed whether inhibited spermiation can be separated from atrophy based on dose, compared testis boron (B) dosimetry to lesion development, determined how inhibited spermiation was reflected by common reproductive endpoints, and examined reversibility of the testicular lesions [17].
  • Calculated responses to a thermal neutron beam for hamster and HeLa cells containing boron-10 at different concentrations [18].
  • Our mathematical modeling predicts that BNCT enhancement of our beam will lead to an additional 1-2 logs of tumor cell kill for boron-10 concentrations of 30-50 micrograms/g. We have validated this via V-79 cell line in vitro measurements [19].
 

Associations of boron with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of boron

  • RESULTS: Pharmacokinetic experiments: Six hours following administration of BPA, tumor, blood, and normal brain boron-10 levels were 23.7, 9.4, and 8.4 micrograms/g respectively [22].
  • Highly localized energy depositions come from Auger emitters such as 125I and by the neutron capture therapy, where boron-10 in the tumor cell is exposed to thermal neutrons for initiating the B10 (n; alpha) Li7 reaction, especially for treating neuro- and glioblastoma and melanoma [23].
  • The proposed concept would utilize a neutral nontoxic boron-10 predicting that anti HER-2 MABs would assure its selective delivery to cancer cells [24].
  • Third, we conducted combination treatment with 4.8 kGy of alpha-particles, i.e., boron 10 neutron captured beam induced by Kyoto University Research Nuclear Reactor operated at 5 MW, and hyperthermia at 52 degrees C, which caused the synergistic killing effect on D. radiodurans wet cells [25].
  • An Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA library was introduced into a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant that lacks ScBOR1 (YNL275W), a boron (B) efflux transporter [26].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of boron

  • The successful treatment of cancer by boron neutron-capture therapy (BNCT) requires the selective concentration of boron-10 within malignant tumors [27].
  • The results show that the boron-conjugated antibodies retain selective localization in the tumors, thus indicating their suitability for transporting boron-10 to tumors for use in neutron-capture therapy of cancer [5].
  • These results are important for BNCT, because clinical protocols using a 2-h infusion have been performed with the assumption that infiltrating tumor cells contain equivalent amounts of boron-10 as the MTM [2].
  • Boronophenylalanine (BPA) is used as Boron-10 carrier in boron neutron capture therapy, an experimental cancer radiotherapy [28].
  • Dosimetric and radiobiological studies were undertaken to investigate the potential enhancement in dose, dose distribution and cell killing effectiveness of 252Cf brachytherapy achievable when boron-10 enriched compounds are incorporated into simulated 252Cf brain implants [29].
