The irradiation dose in tumor and healthy tissue of a boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) patient depends on the boron concentration in blood. In most treatments, this concentration is experimentally determined before and after irradiation but not while irradiation is being carried out because it is troublesome to take the blood samples when the patient remains isolated in the irradiation room. A few models are used to predict the boron profile during that period, which until now involves a biexponential decay. For the prediction of decay concentration profiles of the p‐boronophenylalanine (BPA) in the human body during BNCT treatment, a Kohonen‐based neural network method is suggested. The results of various (20 × 20 × 40 Kohonen network) models based on different trainings on the data set of 67 concentration sets (profiles) are described and discussed. The prediction ability and robustness of the modeling method were tested by the leave‐one‐out procedure. The results show that the method is very robust and mostly independent of small variations. It can yield predictions, root mean squared prediction error (RMSPE), with a maximum of 3.30 µg g−1 for the present cases. In order to show the abilities and limitations of the method, the best and the few worst results are discussed in detail. It should be emphasized that one of the main advantages of this method is the automatic improvement in the prediction ability and robustness of the model by feeding it with an increasing number of data.

A novel 1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane–lactose conjugate ( 4a ) with an N‐glycosidic linkage was synthesized. This conjugate was found to be much more stable against hydrolytic deboronation (closo to nido tranformation of the carborane cage) under neutral conditions than a related carborane–lactose conjugate ( 1a ) with an O‐glycosidic linkage. This result demonstrates that the hydrolytic stability of carborane–carbohydrate conjugates in neutral aqueous solutions may depend dramatically on the chemical nature of the spacer that links the carbohydrate moiety with the boron cage, the rate of hydrolysis varying by orders of magnitude. We relate a significant decrease in the deboronation rate to the formation of more strongly bound supramolecular aggregates, in which the boron cage is less accessible to nucleophilic attack by solvent molecules, in the solution of the carborane–N‐lactoside conjugate 4a .

An account of the current research carried out in our laboratories is presented. Included is the incorporation of several group 14 elements into charge-compensated carboranes. These species present a bonding pattern not found in other main group carboranes. In addition to our continuing studies of the syntheses and structures of organometallic compounds, the use of these compounds as catalysts and catalyst precursors has been investigated. The isotopic exchange reactions between 10B enriched boron hydrides with naturally abundant boranes catalyzed by Ru(0) nanoparticles has been studied. The Ru(0) nanoparticles were obtained by the reduction of [CpRuCp∗RuCp∗]PF6 (Cp∗ = C5Me5) with hydrogen and stabilized by the ionic liquid trihexyltetradecylphosphonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate [THTdP][DBS]. This was found to be an excellent, long lived catalyst for the exchange reaction of B-10 enriched diborane and naturally abundant decaborane(14). Other approaches to the production and use of nano-metal catalysts have also been explored. The reduction of the iridium carborane, (PPh3)2IrH(7,8-C2B9H11) with hydrogen in the presence of trihexyltetradecylphosphonium methylsulfonate, [THTdP][MS], produced an Ir(0) nanoparticles that catalyzed the phenylborolation as did our Ir(sal = N-R = salicylaldiminato; COD = cyclooctadiene complex. Progress in the use of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) as boron delivery agents was also discussed. 相似文献

The effect of boron concentration in water on the gamma, fast and slow neutrons and alpha particles components at the central, forward and backward surfaces inside tumor phantom of 4.2 cm diameter and 4.4cm height, during brachytherapy by neutrons from 252Cf were investigated. The source was at the centre of a cubic shaped water phantom of 30 cm side. The study was carried for different concentrations of boron from H3BO3, Li2B4O7 and H310BO3. The effect of source to tumor distance on the different components of radiation was also measured. The results indicated that the use of 10B compounds enhances the damage and is recommended for successful boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). 相似文献

In this work the depth dose distribution for γ-rays, slow and fast neutrons, nuclear recoils and -particles inside a tumor phantom filled with 100 ppm 10B in distilled water was measured. The depth dose distributions were measured and represented on three-dimensional plots when a 252Cf neutron source was situated in interstitial, surface and intracavitary brachytherapy techniques. Comparison of the three brachytherapy techniques when combined with BNCT revealed that the damage induced in the tumor by the -particles as nuclear recoils in the interstitial geometry is much more than the other two techniques. 相似文献

Neutron beam optimization for accelerator-based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy(BNCT) is investigated using a7Li(p,n)7Be reaction. Design and optimization have been carried out for the target, cooling system,moderator, filter, reflector, and collimator to achieve a high flux of epithermal neutron and satisfy the IAEA criteria.Also, the performance of the designed beam in tissue is assessed by using a simulated Snyder head phantom. The results show that the optimization of the collimator and reflector is critical to finding the best neutron beam based on the7Li(p,n)7Be reaction. Our designed beam has 2.49×109n/cm2 s epithermal neutron flux and is suitable for BNCT of deep-seated brain tumors. 相似文献

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiation therapy used to treat malignant brain tumours. It is based on the nuclear reaction (10B + n th --> [11B*] --> alpha + 7Li + 2.79 MeV) that occurs when 10B captures a thermal neutron to yield alpha particles and recoiling 7Li nuclei, both responsible of tumour cells destruction by short range and high ionization energy release. The clinical success of the therapy depends on the selective accumulation of the 10B carriers in the tumour and on the high thermal neutron capture cross-section of 10B. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods provide the possibility of monitoring, through 10B nuclei, the metabolic and physiological processes suitable to optimize the BNCT procedure. In this study, spatial distribution mapping of borocaptate (BSH) and 4-borono-phenylalanine (BPA), the two boron carriers used in clinical trials, has been obtained. The BSH map in excised rat brain and the 19F-BPA image in vivo rat brain, representative of BPA spatial distribution, were reported. The BSH image was obtained by means of double-resonance 10B-editing 1H-detection sequence, named M-Bend, exploiting the J-coupling interaction between 10B and 1H nuclei. Conversely, the BPA map was obtained by 19F-BPA using 19F-MRI. Both images were obtained at 7 T, in C6 glioma-bearing rat brain. Our results demonstrate the powerful of non conventional MRI techniques to optimize the BNCT procedure. 相似文献

A new series of porphyrin-cobaltacarborane conjugates (1-5) that contain four to sixteen carborane clusters per porphyrin macrocycle, were prepared in excellent yields (90-97 %) by means of a ring-opening reaction of the zwitterionic cobaltacarborane [3,3'-Co(8-C(4)H(8)O(2-)-1,2-C(2)B(9)H(10))(1',2'-C(2)B(9)H(11))]. The X-ray structure of one conjugate (3) is presented. The aggregation properties of these conjugates were investigated by using absorption and fluorescence spectrophotometry, and the stages of microcrystal formation were captured by using atomic force microscopy. All conjugates were found to aggregate in aqueous solutions, to form a broad dispersity of particle sizes. The cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, and preferential sites of subcellular localization of this series of conjugates were evaluated in human carcinoma HEp2 cells. The extent of conjugate cellular uptake depends on the number of cobaltacarborane units at the porphyrin periphery, their distribution, and the conjugate aggregation behavior. Conjugates 2 and 4, bearing either two adjacent or three 3,5-dicobaltacarboranephenyl groups, accumulated the most within HEp2 cells and are, therefore, the most promising boron neutron capture therapy agents. All conjugates showed very low dark- and photo-toxicity, probably due to their strong tendency for aggregation in aqueous solutions, and localized subcellularly within vesicles that correlated, to some extent, with the cell lysosomes. 相似文献

The carboranyl cage is a new modifying entity for nucleosides and DNA-oligonucleotides. Most of carborane–nucleoside conjugates described so far belong to pyrimidine series. Herein, the first synthesis of adenosine, nucleoside containing purine nucleic base, modified with carborane cluster, is described. 相似文献
