| Popis: |
[10B]Boronophenylalanine (10B-BPA) has been used as a tumor selective boron carrier for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in the treatment of malignant melanoma1. In the same way, it is thought to be a potential boron carrier for the treatment of malignant glioma2–4. Glioma infiltrates peripheral brain tissue and we always fall into the dilemma between resection and preservation of the infiltrated brain. Thus the treatment will be effective in these infiltrative tumors. In our studies of malignant glioma using positron emission tomography (PET), accumulation of 10B-BPA analog, [18F]fluoroboronophenylalanine (18F-10B-FBPA), in tumor lesion was dramatically revealed3. The metabolic analysis of this positron-emitting analog demonstrated that enhancement of the amino acid transport is a primary factor for the high accumulation3,5. [18F]Fluoroboronophenylalanine has been recognized as a compound that is incorporated into tumor cell selectively. |
