Boron Neutron Capture Therapy of a Murine Tumor using a Lipophilic Carboranyltetraphenylporphyrin. The first control of a malignant tumor in vivo by porphyrin- mediated boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is described. In mice bearing implanted EMT-6 mammary carcinomas, boron uptake using a single injection of either p-boronophenylalanine (BPA) or mercaptoundecahydrododecaborane (BSH) was compared with either a single injection or multiple injections of the carboranylporphyrin CuTCPH. The BSH and BPA doses used were comparable to the highest doses of these compounds previously administered in a single injection to rodents. For BNCT, boron concentrations averaged 85 μg 10B/g in the tumor and 4 μg 10B/g in blood 2 days after the last of six injections (over 32 h) that delivered a total of 190 μg CuTCPH/g body weight. During a single 15, 20, 25 or 30 MW-m...
