    Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is expected to be a promising next-generation cancer treatment. In 2020, Japan, which has led the research on this treatment modality, was the first country in the world to approve BNCT. The boron agents that have been clinically applied in BNCT include a caged boron compound (mercaptoundecahydrododecaborate: BSH) and a boron-containing amino acid (p-boronophenylalanine: BPA). In particular, the BPA preparation Steboronine® is the only approved drug for BNCT. However, the problem with BPA is that it is poorly retained in the tumor and has very low solubility in water. This cannot be overlooked for BNCT, which requires large amounts of boron in the tumor. The high dosage volume, together with low tumor retention, leads to reduced therapeutic efficacy and increased physical burden on the patient. In the case of BSH, its insufficient penetration into the tumor is problematic. Based on drug delivery system (DDS) technology, we have developed a next-generation boron pharmaceutical superior to Steboronine®. Our approach involves the redevelopment of BPA using innovative ionic liquid formulation technology. Here, we describe previous boron agents and introduce our recent efforts in the development of boron compounds.

    A novel boron agent (BAMP) for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has been successfully developed, and in vitro experiments suggest that BAMP is less toxic than the boron compound currently used in clinical practice (BPA). In vivo experiments, BAMP showed a therapeutic effect comparable to that of BPA, and the therapeutic effect was confirmed to be dose-dependent. Furthermore, BAMP is highly water-soluble, and unlike BPA, its dosage can be easily increased. Therefore, this study shows that BAMP is a promising new boron drug for BNCT, being an alternative to BPA.

    As a low invasive treatment for the malignant tumors, boron neutron capture therapy is featured. This study focused on liposome and developed the novel boron cluster-modified PEG lipid derivative (PBL) that is able to deliver the 10B at high concentration in the tumor.
    PBL could be modified to lipid film efficiently, and the liposome that prepared with it was low toxicity in vitro. And, the liposome succeeded in 20 ppm of boron concentration and above 5 of T/B ratio in 24 hours after administration to cancer-bearing mice. As a result, when irradiated neutron beam to it, the liposome showed a significant antitumor effect in comparison with each control group.

    As a low invasive treatment for the malignant tumors, boron neutron capture therapy is featured. This study focused on membrane permeability peptide (TAT) and developed the new carrier that is able to deliver the high concentration boron in the tumor cell.
    We prepared liposome using the boron peptide lipid analog which already succeeded in development. And the liposome were evaluated the physical property or ability of introduction into cell or cytotoxicity reaction by neutron irradiation.
    The liposome which prepared at approximately 100nm succeeded in the introduction of high concentration boron into tumor cell by TAT peptide analog. So, we administered the liposome to tumor cell, and irradiated neutron beam. As a result, the liposome significantly showed cytotoxicity reaction in comparison with each control group. And the survival rate of tumor cell became less than 1%.

    研究目的であった「中性子捕捉療法(BNCT)に用いることのできる理想的薬剤の開発研究」として、その可能性をもつ新規ホウ素化合物(ペプチド結合リン脂質類似体)の合成に成功した。本化合物は既存のホウ素化合物(BPA)と新規リン脂質類似体とをアミド結合により合成した新規化合物である。
    さらに本化合物と各種リン脂質を用いて新規薬剤であるホウ素リボソームを作製し、その機能評価として、マウス大腸がん細胞(CT26)に対するホウ素集積効果により検討した。
    結果、腫瘍細胞腫でのホウ素取り込み比較と腫瘍細胞内ホウ素濃度は、曝露ホウ素濃度25ppmに対して従来のホウ素化合物であるBSHのホウ素集積効果がほぼ見られない中、ホウ素リボソームは4,5μg^<10>B/1x10^6 cellsを示した。さらにホウ素リボソームにBSHを内封した製剤はさらに高いホウ素集積効果を示し、ホウ素リボソームがBSHを内封した状態でもホウ素集積を行うことができることを確認した。
    よって、BNCTにおける有用な薬剤の条件のひとつである十分な腫瘍ホウ素濃度に対して、現在用いられているBSHと比較してin vitroではあるものの高いホウ素集積効果を得ることに成功した。
    当初の本年度計画に組み込んだ正常細胞への影響および担癌マウスへの投与による体内分布などの実験を実施することは叶わなかったが、本結果によっても、BNCTにおいて有用な薬剤となる可能性を示すことができたと考える。

    2023度、合成・調製に成功した各ホウ素含有新規イオン液体(BPA in IL)を用いて、細胞毒性試験および薬物動態試験を行った。
    細胞毒性試験:V79 379細胞を96well plate に24時間、CO2インキュべーターで前培養した後、各サンプルを10uLずつ加えCO2インキュべーターでさらに24時間培養した。培地を除去した後、CCK-8と培地の混合液を加えてCO2インキュベーター内で2時間培養後、プレートリーダーで450nmにおける各wellの吸光度を測定した。結果、各BPA in ILの細胞毒性(IC50)は、BPA-Fructose complexよりも極めて低いことを確認した。
    薬物動態試験:担癌マウスにBPA in ILを24mg B/kg (4800ppm, 100uL/20g) で尾静注により投与後、各群において各時間 (0.25, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6 hour) で無作為に選出し、採血および組織 (腫瘍、肝臓、腎臓、脳、皮膚、腫瘍部位対側の筋組織、脾臓) を摘出した。さらに、灰化法 (硝酸800uLを加え、115℃で1.5時間加熱) で液状化させたものをサンプル溶液とし、ICP-AESで組織内ホウ素濃度を測定した。結果、投与直後 (15min) において腎臓にホウ素が集積することを確認した 。また、ILに溶解させたBPAは時間経過とともに腫瘍へ貯留していかないことを確認した。腫瘍内ホウ素濃度はBNCT用薬剤の目安となる25ppm以上を達成できなかったが、投与後6時間においてT/N ratio >2.5は達成した。
    2024度はこれらのBPA in ILに関して、中性子線照射による殺細胞効果および抗腫瘍効果を確認する。

    1. Regarding the tumor growth inhibitory effect of intravascular boron, the non-leakage Liposome group showed almost the same tumor growth as the irradiation alone group, suggesting that boron in the blood contributes little to tumor growth inhibition even by neutron irradiation. This may be due to the fact that particle beams do not reach the vascular endothelium in blood vessels more proximal than capillaries, or the degree of damage is not strong enough to block blood flow.
    2. In the visualization of boron distribution using CR39, alpha rays generated in the range of 5-10 micrometers from the CR39 surface can be visualized in cells attached to CR39. Based on this result, it is considered possible to estimate the intracellular boron distribution.

    Carbon nanohorns (CNH) are pseudo-cylindrical materials made of a single piece of graphite with a diameter of 2-5 nm and a length of 40-50 nm. Boron-carbon nanohorns (BN-CNH) are nanoparticles that can be used as a new boron compound, containing a large amount of boron within CNH and also connected to the outer wall of the particles. To evaluate BN-CNH, boron uptake experiments using cell cultures, colony-forming assay after neutron irradiation, in vivo boron distribution after mouse tail vein and topical administration were performed. The effect of BN-CNH was limited compared to the positive control using BPA.
