Popis: The potential medicinal applications of boron-based compounds have been well established. Among the medicinal applications of boron, its use for the treatment of cancer via boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is the most promising. Although a variety of approaches have been evaluated for adequate boron delivery to the cancer tissues for successful cancer therapy, this review focuses on the synthesis of carbohydrate-based boron delivery platforms. Recent advances in the synthesis and utilization of glycoconjugates for boron delivery has been reported.
