Impact on Glioblastoma U87 Cell Gene Expression of a Carborane Cluster-Bearing Amino Acid: Implications for Carborane Toxicity in Mammalian Cells
26 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Carboranes have been extensively investigated as potential drugs for the treatment of malignant human brain tumors by boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). This noninvasive treatment modality utilizes compounds containing the nonradioactive isotope 10 B which has a high propensity to capture slow neutrons. In response, it emits high energy α-particles that kill the cell. We have successfully synthesized a boron...
